[Script] What's wrong with this script?

[AbsoluteJustice]

So I've been getting into coding and figured a good way to start is by developing a rom hack. I get the basics of XSE and so far I've been able to make simple dialogue boxes and whatnot, but as I moved on to the more advanced stuff things got a little funky.

I figured I might as well throw in a guy who gives you a Chikorita to test my scripting capabilities. The thing is, XSE keeps giving me the "no #org/#seek directives found" error when I try to compile it.

Spoiler:

#dynamic 0x71AC01

#org @start
lock
checkflag 0x250
if 0x1 jump :end
msgbox @1 0x5
setflag FR_POKEMON
countpokemon
compare LASTRESULT 6
if == jump @noroom
addpokemon CHIKORITA 0x5 PEARL 0 0 0
setflag 0x25
0storepokemon 0 CHIKORITA
msgbox @get-msg
fanfare 0x101
showmsg
waitfanfare
waitbutton
:end
release
end



#org @noroom
msgbox @noroom-msg
callstd MSG_NOCLOSE
release
end



#org @1
= Hey!\pI run a Chikorita farm! \pYou probably already know\nthat 'cause you live here. \pYou look like a good trainer, \nso how about you take this baby\nout on some adventure of yours?

#org @noroom-msg
= You don't have enough room in your party.

#org @get-msg
= Aquired Chikorita!

Anyone know what's up? I'd appreciate as much advice as possible as I'm a slow learner when it comes to this complicated stuff.

Your script has quite a few commands that don't exist in XSE or are being used incorrectly. Here's a version of your script that should work with some comments to indicate why something has been changed. Also, make sure that you're using XSE v1.1.1 as 1.0.0 is pretty buggy if you're just starting to learn how script. If you're unsure about a XSE command you can check out diegoisawesome's XSE tutorial or search the command list by pressing F1 in XSE.

#org @FullParty

Good luck in your scripting/ coding journey!

Ah, makes sense. Thank you very much dude

Just a side note, but ROM hacking is not a good way to learn coding if you are just dipping your feet in for the first time. Hell, I've been coding since I was 10 and I still barely understand how Pokemon hacking works. I would maybe suggest trying Javascript or Python instead?

But if hacking works for you then welcome to poke community! :)
