Agreed, I like it, though I have a couple of questions... Not about the tutorial but about scripting...

One, with the applymovement command, using Advance Map 1.92 (Or something) would you make the script under, Events > Scripts or Events > People ?

Two, are the flags random free space? Or is there a set list of every single different flag value... Can I just choose any number I wish and put it as a flag? For example 0x456 and 0x85F ?

Cheers

I'll answer both of your questions.

If you want to make an applymovement script happen when you click on a person, then click on the "Events" tab and increase the number of people by 1, or replace another persons script with yours.

If you want it to activate when you step on a certain spot, then you want to increase the number of "scripts" on the map, and assign your new script to it.
Remember to use:
Unknown 0300
Var Number 4050.


And now question 2...
The flags are not just random space, there are flags already in the game, many not even used by the original game that we refer to as "free flags"

Free Flags :
200 - 29F
500 - 79F
1000 - 109F

It is a bit unsafe using the set of 200 flags, marked in bright red, since they seem to be a bit unsafe, and may cause glitching, and screwiness...
The others, should be fine.
The most safe to use are 1000 - 109F
(Remember that flags are counted in hex)
Hope that answers your question! :t157:

Hey Omega Arsenal, You are a true champion mate. Thank you so much, you saved me a lot of time.

I will write those Flags down and remember them. Man, that makes things a lot easier to understand, thank you again.

Well... I sem to have made an error, the free flags are extended...

1000 - 3FFF

Hehe... that is a rough 12287 free flags to use.... that is alot peopel... (Not an exact number btw, but you get the point... hehe!)
 
Very nice tut, for a scripting noob like myself it was very helpful,
but I have a question not about the tut but about scripting.
How do i make a script for items that are just laying on the ground?
 
can someone help me?
see pic for problem

I have been in a helping mood these past few days...
^_^

Just add $ in front of the Offset and you will be fine!
Btw... this is very off topic... but is my font the same green color, and written in system font?
This new Browser of mine is strange...

Example:
Example:
8000EB - WRONG
$8000EB - Right!

Problem with the Speaking script.

I did exactly as I was told to do with the speaking script, but the character that was following the script didn't speak the words it was supposed to. It just said: '<player's name>, over here! Let's hurry home!'

The the character would run off back to Littleroot town.

Could someone help me here?

When the script compiled, did you copy the offset of it to Advance map, like this for example; $2DD100. You should include it.

#dynamic 0x2DD100

 #ORG @Main
Message @Speak
Boxset 0x2
End

 #ORG @Speak
= Triplet's Mom: Hi.\nHave you met my children?\lTheir names are Green, Red and Blue.

Try this, it saves bytes. Boxset 0x2 acts as a lock, and faceplayer.

help

hi guys,
i was building a script:
Spoiler:

But where it says #raw 0x60 is there another command that I can use to remove the sprite from the map, rather than just making them invisible yet still an obstacle?
oh and does anyone have the codes for the rival music (out of battle) and the givepokemon jingle? and the receive item jingle, if there is one.
also, if i was to use them, how would i insert them into my script.
thanks heaps.

You should never use movements to use hide a sprite forever, indeed.
The proper way is to use the hidesprite + setflag combo.
Basically you set the People ID (for example 1001) and then you do this:

Code: 
hidesprite 0x[People #]
setflag 0x[People ID]

Gone. To make it nicer, you may want to use the fadescreen command.

For the rival music I would suggest you decompiling the original scripts. I'm pretty sure you would find it. Sappy may be useful as well.
To insert a "jingle" you use the fanfare/waitfanfare commands.
Example below:

Code: 
fanfare 0x13E
' place for givepokemon/giveitem + msgbox
waitfanfare

I have no idea about special 0x187 but loadbytefrompointer does just what the Command Help says.
