Sierra's MEGA-HUGE XSE Scripting Tutorial

DrFuji said:
You have a lot of misplaced pointers and have input some incorrect/ unnecessary commands. Below should be a fully functioning script once you change/ delete some of the commands and their values.

Red = I have changed it/ you have to edit it depending on what you want. Blue = Delete it. Messages after '//' are my specific comments on what you should do.

Spoiler:


Try not to rush while making scripts and make sure that you study the structure of scripts already in the game. Alot of the mistakes in your script were quite simple and could be dealt with easily if you slowed down and took the time to comb through it :)

Well this is my first, I just so happened to have been looking at Sabrina's scrip when i accidentally deleted it. That's what made me want to put a new trainer in that spot. So what do I do, when i finish it?
 
Hi i wrote a code but xse doesn't compile it. What's wrong with it?

Try this script. Changes in red and explanations are marked by '//'.

Help on compiling! Ack!

Okay so I decided to add 3 people on my map. And i made the free space for each about 250 bytes. And I typed this

'---------------
#org 0xE3E604
lock
faceplayer
msgbox 0x8E3E611 MSG_NORMAL '"Hello!\nMy name is Alder."
release
end

'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0xE3E611
= Hello!\nMy name is Alder.


and when i compiled it by pressing the complile button on XSE 1.1.1 i loaded it up again to see if the changes saved it did. So i loaded up VBA and went to talk to the first person and it worked. And then on the second person i talked to and the screen froze and turned red. And when i looked at the coding for the person, it changed to different things. The first person's code showed this after compiling

'---------------
#org 0x3EA000
bufferboxname 0xE3 0xDBE2
nop
cmdd5 0xE3DB
nop


which doesn't make any sense to me

and the second person's code sais this

'---------------
#org 0xE3E274
callstd 0x6
cmd24 0x11061106

which also doesn't make any sense.
But the third person's code compiled correctly.

And now when i still try to talk to the first person, he doesn't even respond whether to look at me or to just freeze my game like a jerk. Whats wrong. Am i doing something?

250 bytes should be enough for that... 0.o
The only reasonable explanation is that your second and third scripts are getting overwritten by either the compilation or activation of the first. But seeing as how 250 bytes should be enough, try using a custom format rather than copying a default script:
This:
'---------------
#org 0xE3E604
lock
faceplayer
msgbox 0x8E3E611 MSG_NORMAL '"Hello!\nMy name is Alder."
release
end

'---------
' Strings
'---------
#org 0xE3E611
= Hello!\nMy name is Alder.

Would be better like this:
#dynamic 0x<FSF Offset>

#org @start
lock
faceplayer
msgbox @text1 0x6
release
end

#org @text1
= Hello!\nMy name is Alder.
Click to expand...

Try that, with a new offset...
 
OH MY GOD! IT WORKS! IT WOOOOORKSSS!!!!! I love you! thanks lol now i feel stupid. ^_^
 
Okay, so I've got a pretty basic, quick question about the pokemart command. Does that automatically generate the "What would you like to do?" message that appears at every Poké Mart?
 
im trying the earthquake command, but i only hear sound and not the shaking. I have the set var before the special and everything. heres the script.

#dynamic 0x800000
#org @start
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x198
if 0x1 goto @done
msgbox @10 0x6
setvar 0x8007 0xF
special 0x136
setflag 0x198
release
end
#org @done
lock
faceplayer
msgbox @11 0x6
release
end
#org @10
= Gee, i hope there is not\nan earthquake.
#org @11
= I hope that does not happen\nagain.

Unfortunately no. You can open up a Pokemart clerk's script from Advance Map and see what you may or may not need to add.

There are three more variables that you have to set a value to if you want an earthquake to work properly. Add these to your script just prior to special 0x136 and you should be able to see the visual effects of the earthquake as well:

Code: 
setvar 0x8004 0xF
setvar 0x8005 0xF
setvar 0x8006 0xF
setvar 0x8007 0xF

Change the '0xF's if you want to make the earthquakes stronger/ weaker as they relate to the frequency and amplitudes of the quakes.
 
So, as far as the trainerbattle command goes, what types do you have?

I know that you've got 0x0 for normal trainers and 0x1 for trainers that continue scripts after you beat them. While I was messing around on AdvanceMap, looking at different trainers scripts, I found that most trainers had commands for trainerbattles structured as follows:
Code: 
#org @start
special2 0x8000 0x39 [COLOR="RED"]This checks if the Vs Seeker has been used and returns value to the given variable.[/COLOR]
compare 0x8000 0x1
if 0x1 goto @1
trainerbattle 0x0 0x9C 0x0 @2 @3
msgbox @4 0x6
release
end

#org @1
trainerbattle 0x5 0x9C @5 @6
release
end

#org. . . etc. etc. etc.

What I've determined so far about the trainerbattle command is as follows:

Code: 
trainerbattle 0x0 [COLOR="Red"]normal trainer battle, script ends after.[/COLOR]
trainerbattle 0x1 [COLOR="Red"]special trainer battle (Leader, Rival, etc.), script continues after battle.[/color]
trainerbattle 0x4 [COLOR="Red"]double battle, script ends after.[/COLOR]
trainerbattle 0x5 [COLOR="Red"]normal trainer rematch, script ends after.[/COLOR]
trainerbattle 0x7 [COLOR="Red"]double battle rematch, script ends after.[/COLOR]

Hello, I need a little help.
I am a good scripter but just started learning about level scripts. I have a script where you help the professor and after the battle he teleports you to his lab for the second script, what am I doing wrong?

Script 1

Script 2
Spoiler:


The problem happens when I warp, I get a black screen. Thanks for helping me.

I don't have time to check the second script but this looks like the problem:

warp 0x43 0x3 0xFF 0x6 0x5

Surely you want warp 0x4 0x3 0xFF 0x6 0x5

Make sure you insert the second script correctly as well, using the method diegoisawesome runs through in this thread.
 
The Map bank is correct. I made the new bank "43"
I might of inserted the second one incorrectly.
Here's two screenshots of the map:

and

Thanks again.
 
Ah, well in that case your problem is still the same, but with a different answer :3

Map Bank 43 = 0x2B in hex, so replace the 43 with 2B.
