Sierra's MEGA-HUGE XSE Scripting Tutorial

zork787 said:
Ok so I'm adding some custom items to my hack and when I try to compile my item description it gives me a "Error 6 Overflow on line 4 Wrong parameter type" error and I don't think my code is wrong but I dunno whats going on

Code: 
'-----------------------
#dynamic 0x634906
#org @string
= A peculiar stone that makes certain\nspecies of POKeMON evolve.\lIt shines with a dazzling light.

Hmm. Try copy and pasting the script in your post over the entire script you have in XSE (ctrl+A to make sure you highlight eeeeverything).

Sometimes XSE has a mishap. I copy and pasted your script and it debugged just fine for me. :(
 
well I redownloaded XSE and my code worked that time, mustve been a bug with teh version I was using.

Edit: Well I seem to have run into anotehr snag, I've managed to successfully impliment the Dawn, Dusk and Shiny stones but there text is kinda messed up https://gyazo.com/92547a1abd9b40e256f25dbe521218f1 and yet in the editing programs they appear fine

I'm not 100% sure on the accents or anything but I saw your code incorrectly used the \l command as it pushes the text up and away:

First Line
\nSecond Line
\nThird Line

Also make sure you compile in free space and fix the pointers appropritely !
 
I found a command that's not covered in the tutorial nor did I find a mention of it in the thread. It's "PLAYERFACING", a handy command that allows the script to differentiate depending on the direction the player is facing. I found it in the Black Glasses guy.
Spoiler:


As you can see, it's used with:
"compare PLAYERFACING 0xX
if 0x1 call @string"

The X in 0xX is dependent on the direction the player is facing. After some experimenting, I found that 0x1 is facing down, 0x2 is facing up, 0x3 is facing left, and 0x4 is facing right.
 
Hey does anyone know if there is a scripting limit per map? I have roughly 16 scripts on my 'Route 1' in my game and when I add one more the game freezes whenI walk into Route 1. Anyone know why?

As far as I know, there isn't. What kind of script did you add last?

Well here is my issue.

So I have a giant map with roughly 25 OWs (all trainers) and so I've been adding trainerbattle offsets to them. Let's just use Route 1 (1.1) and Route 1 (1.2) as examples. Most of the scripts (I would say four of them) are in Route 1 (1.1) and the other 12 are in Route 1 (1.2). With the 16 scripts, the game works perfectly fine. Then I tried adding script 17 to Route 1 (1.2) and now anytime I try walking into Route 1 (1.1) or Route 1 (1.2) the game freezes. I triple checked the script and it's exactly like the others. I'm not writing over any used space. Any ideas?

So thats 17 OWs yes? Yeah the limit per map is 16 iirc. It might be your issue, try the same script on 1.1 rather than 1.2.

I don't believe there's any (small) limit to OWs on a map. There is a limit to how many you can have on screen at the same time, but I have multiple maps with 16+ OWs and no problems with them.
 
So.. i just tried the Givepokemon command, i'm using Pokemon Ruby and i have 3 problems:

1) What's the exact command to quote the Player's Name?
I silly thought that "[PLAYER's Name]" would work, it don't xD..

2) How can i make stop the NPC after it gave me the Pokemon one time?
After received the Pokemon (Bulbasaur), she told me the first msgbox again, asking me if i wanted it, basically, it repeated from the beginning after ending once D:

3) How can i fix in the nickname screen, the Pokemon's icon?
In the Command i've specified 0x1 0x5 0xC5 0x0 0x0 0x0 (Bulbasaur, Lv5 with a Lucky Egg) but in the nickname screen the icon was Combusken's one D: ...

Thanks in advance, greetings from Uruguay <3

Use flags for this one.. Use only safe ones though..

Dunno about this one cause i cant understand spanish XD
But I guess the problem comes from you calling a pointer in @nombre
It's probably better to make your own nicknaming script.

Uff.. i've fixed it by reading the script and using the if 0x1 command <3
I've modified this:
Code: 
#org @tomado
givepokemon 0x1 0x5 0xC5 0x0 0x0 0x0
fanfare 0x13E
msgbox @give3 0x4
waitfanfare
closeonkeypress
setflag 0x828
msgbox @give4 0x5
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if 0x1 call @nombre
msgbox @give5 0x6
[B]checkflag 0x828
if 0x0 goto @give6[/B]
release
end

Uff, thank you so much <3
Now, the nickname thing is irrelevant, it doesn't matter <3

DiegoisAwesome has a nifty editor named GBA IntroEd that can make that happen along with a few other things.. You should really check it out.
 
Thanks !
I Had it in my PC But never Actually Tried it :p

Actually I just wanted to clarify, my tool is called GBA Intro Manager, IntroEd is someone else's (ancient) tool.
 
I've found an error on the Special: 0x9C is "Choose your Pokèmon" (the one with Birch's bag) while "Wally capture" is actually 0x9D!

Anyway I've got a question: is there a way to enable the National Dex in Pokèmon Ruby?

Add these lines of code after setting the Pokédex flag in your script.
Code: 
writebytetooffset 0x2 0x2026B00
writebytetooffset 0x3 0x2026B01
writebytetooffset 0xDA 0x2024EBE
writebytetooffset 0x67 0x2026A5A

Oh I'm an idiot, I've already done it but I haven't changed the Dex in game x) Thanks anyway!
