[Script] What does #org do?

[PokemonXO]

I ask because I found many tutorials that explain how to make a script, but don't break down the types piece by piece. this includes DiegoIsAwesome's tutorial, tajaros' script, and a few others around the internet.

I have a feeling that it starts the script, but I want to make doubly sure.

And for this statement:

#org 0x2202E4

It starts the script for 0x2202E4?

So, basically, you can predifine 0x2202E4 by using the org script? So, if I want to make a new offset, I would just input #org 0x530408?

Thank you.

Yeah, you've pretty much got it.

#org = the beginning of a new offset in a script.
@start = the name of your offset.

It's a lot easier to name your offsets with @. So, when writing a simple script, the starting #org line would typically look like this:

Spoiler:

#dynamic 0x800000 // Tells the script where to start looking for free space in the ROM

#org @start // Starts the new script under an offset named "start" (its true name will be 0x800000-something)
lock // Locks the player and NPC
faceplayer // Turns the NPC to look at the player
msgbox @1 0x6 // Loads a pointer into memory to display a message at @1
release // Releases the player and NPC
end // Ends the script

#org @1 // Starts the msgbox script under an offset named "1" (its true name will be 0x800000-something)
= Hello. // Prints the text on-screen and returns back to the main script

You can name the '@start' and '@1' to anything you like of course.

Hope this clears up any confusion.
