Learning to ROM Hack

    I am having some trouble with scripting, and I need a little help. First off, I'm trying to add all the mystery events for FR/LG, but the Vermillion City guy isn't detecting the Aurora Ticket. I'm not sure if it is a flag that I am having problems with, or something else. I also need some help making a script for a legendary encounter. I've been reading all sorts of scripting tutorials this week but have yet to find one on how to make a legendary encounter. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Are you doing a simple check Item script for the Aurora Ticket, or is the mystery gift option hacked in?

    The only thing I have actually done is added a new NPC that gives you the item, and sets a flag so the item cannot be obtained twice. I figured the Vermillion Sailor had a check item script, but now I'm assuming it's a flag that is set when you obtain the ticket through the mystery event.

    If you set the flag when you obtain the item, simply add a checkflag to the Sailor and maybe a warp to the island, it won't be the same but it'll be the event basically. I think there is a way to put in the ferry animation through the use of Specials but I'm not entirely sure.

    I took a look at the sailors script, and there is a flag checked for the Aurora Ticket. I edited the script for the NPC who gives you the ticket and added the flag, but it didn't work.

    Hmm, no idea. I just tried it on my own and the same thing happened. Maybe it's worth trying to set a warp to the island or seeing about the special flag that starts up the ferry animation and putting all that into a new script?

    I guess I'll have to look into that. Could I just copy the pre existing script for that sailor then just add some on and compile it?

    Probably, as long as you add the ring things in the right places I suppose that would work.

    I'm not 100% sure, but IIRC, the sailor checks if another flag is set before checking if you have the Aurora Ticket, or any ticket for that matter. Examine the script a bit more, see what's before checking the item, and maybe check what calls the part which looks for the item.

    Edit: There ya go:

    If Flags 0x84A and 0x84B are cleared, the Vermilion City dockworker won't even bother checking for the MysticTicket and AuroraTicket, respectively. You won't be able to use them. I don't know what sets or clears these flags.
