Very good tutorial for beginners, thanks a lot. I was wondering how to change/create scripts for lifts, for example right now i'm trying to get the lift in the rocket hideout to work without the lift key and also go to some new maps, can anyone tell me how to do that? Also im having a problem with my three starters, if you choose to give the pokemon a nickname the small picture and name of the pokemon are replaced by a picture of a ? and a lot of ????s where the name should be. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks.

I've got another scripting tutorial that covers elevators. go to google and search for "pkmnhackersonline". I've got an older scripting tutorial there that covers them.
As for the starters. If you've still got the call 0x[I can't remember pointer off the top of my head], for the namepokemon to do this.
Code: 
...
...   'Rest of script
message $1    'Would you like to name \v\h02?
boxset 0x5
compare 0x800D 0x1
if 0x1 gosub $namer
...
..
...  'Rest

#org $namer
setvar 0x8004 0x0   'For first Pokemon
call 0xYYYYYY
return
 
what do we do with the scrpit when we're done with it, and could you see if this script is right?
#org $start
lock
faceplayer
message $10
boxset 4
#raw 0x68
fadescreen 0x0
fanfare 0x100
special 0x16F
waitfanfare
fadescreen 0x0
message $11
boxset 6
release
end
#org $10
$10 1 =you need the National Dex.\
#org $11
$11 1 =There you go.\
 
Where can I find the HEX numbers for the Pokemon?
(I need Chikorita, Totodile and Cyndaquil)

Well, I'm a beginning scripter, in fact, this is my first script, and for some reason it won't work... any help?

Spoiler:

It's supposed to make it so when you press "A" on the rock, the game will ask you if you want to put your hand on the strange marking on it. If you say no, it should say you Stepped away from the rock. If you say yes, it should say You touch the rock, and everything starts to fade away, then you warp to a mysteriouos island. The problem is, it says "You stepped away from the rock." if you press yes or no. Any help is appreciated.
 
If you want to make a good hack, then you should try using poketScript. I think Irish Witch has a link to download the program and other people have tutorials for it. I'd give it to ya but I don't know how to make links...sorry(I'm new to the quoting thing). Anyways, PoketScript is a really good Scripting program. All you have to do now is learn the script language, which Irish Witch teaches you in her tutorial.

I said this quite a while ago, this is the most useful tutorial on the entire PokéCommunity (more useful than any ASM, palette editing, mapping, and other tutorials that I've ever seen).

I've never done much scripting in the long time that I've been hacking, but this should help me out a lot.

Thank you so much for writing this tutorial, this is where I'll find everything.

Thanks Hermes/Esmas.

Well you could start by reading this tutorial, and that could help. You seem to have just guessed about a lot of the layout of the scripting.

Code: 
compare LASTRESULT WeirdRock
if WeirdRock goto $yes
Weirdrock? Try 0x1.
There's more there, I just chose to pick out this one little thing.

What are you talking about? And who are you saying this to?
Do you understand this tutorial is for Pokescript?
You should try reading, it's a pretty handy skill.
 
In the part Applymovement, what are the var number and var value in the picture in the spoiler used for? It puzzles me a lot...

And are there any free vars(vars haven't been used in the game) that I can use during hacking?

Does anyone know the special for the animation of the pokeballs flashing at the pokemon centre? (When nurse joy takes them and they are healed etc.)

Why don't you just decompile the script?

hey don't actually have to be free. You can use the same one over and over and over and over, etc.

Dude, XSE is not Pokescript.
Use the script help thread.
 
Hey thex4, it's your tutorial that made a scripter out of me ^^
I was just wondering if you may add the mulit command as well?
I think I know the sctructure, the main problem is that I don't have a list of the list's IDs.
Do you have one?
And is it possible to change a list by using thingy or Advance Text? Cause I really need my own multiple choice boxes.
hope ya can help

Okay I'll try to explain.
A script tile only activates if you put in a variable (and a value).
It's like a level script:
if you write var number 4050, the script only activates when the value of the variable is zero.
So
var number 4050
var value 0000

means: as long as the variable 0x4050 has the vale 0, the script tile can activate (of course if u use check and setflag it will only activate once).
If u make a lvl script, or a normal script, with setvar 0x4050 0x1, u have to write
var number 4050
var value 0001

So as long as the value of 4050 is 1, the script can activate.

I'm not really sure about this, since I thought of it by myself when I learnen things about level scripting.
I think thethethethe will tell us if I'm right or not.

Actually, there's no need to use more than one variable (like thethethethe said), just use the same everytime. And if you change the value of the variable in a script, just raise write the new value into the tile.

I hope that's right :\

I have your answer!

Here's a list of the IDs from Dabomstew's site: pokehacks.dabomstew.com
Spoiler:


And i believe th offsets for these boxes are around 0x417BE3, some will be above this i think, but not too far above!

Hope this helps you!

Event scripts are written using the same commands used in message scripts, but are applied differently. Whereas a message script is activated by walking up to a person and speaking to them, event scripts are activated when you step on a certain tile. So basically, you could just use your knowledge of message scripts and apply it to event scripts!



Now it's my turn for a question! :D

In the first battle against Gary, in Prof Oak's lab, you don't get sent to the last healing place if you lose, instead you stay in the lab. Is this a command in the script or is it to do with asm? Decompiling the script is not an option in this instance as the offset in advancemap and elitemap does not show the trainerbattle script when decompiled.

Cheers
