thethethethe's Scripting Tutorial

[maoh4567]

There would be some setvars and copyvars in most 'green' scripts.
You still haven't said what you don't understand about them.

let me say it this way...

what is the purpose of variables in a rom???
or can you give some examples of the different ways on how to use it...

In some cases, variables could be used to get your position. (st. anne, script tile for rival battle) If you stepped on the left, a variable is set to 0, and when its compared to 0, the rival moves to the left... If on the middle, the variable is 1, so the rival moves to the middle and so on...

In other cases, like the one when you choose your starting pokemon, a variable is set so that your rival will know what pokemon he will use..

There are a lot of other uses.. can't name them all XD

 

[twi1ight]

for some reason I get a message that says

"run-time error '13'
type mismatch"
can anyone help?

 

[Master_Track]

grammar mistake maybe?
it would be helpful if you could post your script, otherwise we can't tell you what's wrong ^^

thnx alot...
now i understand what is their uses....

 

[Master_Track]

twi1ight:
your script seems okay, but listen to adiktus and write it in two lines ;)
Also, sometimes #binary works better, it's written like this:
#org $move
$move 1 ; #binary 0x13 0x13 0x13 0x13 0xFE

the movement codes are just the same ;)
( I said it SOMETIMES works better, normally it doesn't really matter if u use #raw or #binary).

Btw nice to see somebody using the doorcommands :D

And one suggestion: I'm not sure if #raw 0x55 will work allright if clearflag is written afterwards, write it before (then it will work for sure, I always do it like this).
clearflag 0x200
#raw 0x55 0x01 0x00

That's all, I think.
And to get a better structure in your script to overview everything:
Maka a free line after each script, like
#org $begin
lock
faceplayer
message $a
$a 1 = Yes or no?
boxset 5
compare 0x800D 0x1
if 1 goto $yes
message $no
$no 1 = You chose no.
release
end

#org $yes
..........................................don't want to write more, just wanted to show ^^

 

[master morty]

I can't see anything wrong in this script.
Which Advance Map are you using?
I am using 1.90, and there the fields "unknown" and "variable number" looks like this:
Unknown: 0003
Var.Number:4051

And it works!
Hope that's the problem.

Is it,

unknown 0003
var number 4050
in all games or just fr/lg because my script (which convieniently had the unknown and var number problem) works fine in fr/lg
below is th script I used

'-----------------------
#org 0x800345
msgbox 0x8800362 '"Koo: hey he's over there\n[player]:..."
callstd 0x6
applymovement MOVE_PLAYER 0x880039B
pause 0x40

end

'-----------

#org 0x80039B
#raw 12 'Step Left (Normal)

#raw 11 'Step Up (Normal)

Uhmm.. I hate to bother.. but how can I make the Pokemon speak with you before the cry and battle?

That has nothing to do with the topic. Stay on topic next time, as you can see, this is a scripting thread. Not a ask any Rom hacking questions thread. For that, you should click on ROM hacking, then scroll down to "Simple questions".

Anyways, in order to do that, you have to insert the music over the cry. And please, just because I answered you, that doesn't mean I know how to do it. So Don't PM ME.

 

[Master_Track]

I'd say what he meant is just using a message before writing cry O.o
so
message $1
$1 1 = Pikachu: Pika-pika!
boxset 6
cry 0xA1 etc....

Though cooley is right, this is a tutorial, question into the simple question thread of if it's a more complicated script problem into the scrap box- script help thread.

I thought it did.. I was asking how to do in in the same script.

And please, just because I answered you, that doesn't mean I know how to do it. So Don't PM ME.

I wasn't going to.

Yes, that's what I meant, thank you.

Okay, I will next time, like I said, "Sorry to bother."

 

[twi1ight]

thnx guys srry im not thanking you earlier but ive been busy more trouble :(
but I have a question how do you use pokescript for a-map if its in the wrong place im srry but wat r the settings and do you use bufrite or pokescript? thanx.

 

[12345]

Do you know abot "buffer" (bufferpokemon, bufferitem...)?
Can I explain me?

What? I don't understand what you're asking.

I have those in the tutorial. Except those are XSE commands. I never game a command name to them in the tutorial. These commands begin at the top of the third post.
Like I explained it with "display Pokemon Name". In XSE terms this command is bufferpokemon.
Also "Display Item Name", in XSE terms is buffer item.

 

[hi sir tomato my password is syvniti]

What? I don't understand what you're asking.

I think he mean the funcition with "See script" or something in a-map. and then a-map, tells the script editors decompiler to open the script.

 

[twi1ight]

yes i mean the open script option

 

[heatransoul]

I am trying to get a give Eevee script, but the options are $60 and $55. Here is the script:

#org $start

end

#org $1

#org $2

What am I doing wrong??

 

[hi sir tomato my password is syvniti]

Now I'm gonna answer before you Jason... How does that fell? HAHA!

yes i mean the open script option

Then use HM's XSE. It contain a Decompiller... Chose the file of it, and that's all...

You'll need to write the numbers in hex I would say... Try put 85
(If 133 is eevee) (70 to hex is about 45... But you'll better calcolate that to be sure...)
