Adding a New Trigger

abhmul · 2014-03-22 21:15:44

In my hack of Silver, I wanted to create an event in the captain's cabin of the S.S. Aqua where a team rocket grunt enters and tries to take the ship, then notices you and battles you. Using hex editing and PKSV I repointed the event data and added a trigger event and a few more people events and wrote the script for the trigger. When I try to test to see if my new events work the trigger won't activate when the player steps on it. I can't seem to find anything wrong with the script for the trigger but I feel like my unexperienced eyes are failing to recognize something crucial. Here is the PKSV script I'm using:

#org 0x16EA55
'-----------------------------------
spriteface 0x0 0x3
showemote 0x0 0x0 0xF
special 0x69
pause 0xF
playsound 0x39
appear 0xC
waitbutton
applymovement 0xC 0x6A7D ' 0x16EA7D
spriteface 0x0 0x3
2call 0x6A86 ' 0x16EA86
applymovement 0xC 0x6AA9 ' 0x16EAA9
playsound 0x39
disappear 0xC
waitbutton
playmapmusic
end

#org 0x16EA86

2writetext 0x6BCE ' 0x16EBCE
closetext
loadmovesprites
end


#org 0x16EAB2
= No on move! In\nthe name of\pGIOVANNI I am\ncomandeering\pthis ship! Wait\na minute, I\pknow you!\nYou're the one\pwho beat TEAM\nROCKET at the\pRADIO TOWER!\nI'll show the\pmeaning of\nrevenge!\e


#org 0x16EB68

#org 0x16EBAA
= No! Not again!\nYou'll pay for\pthis!\e


#org 0x16EBCE
= If I can't beat\nyou I'll just\pdestroy the\nship!\e


#org 0x16EA7D
M step_up step_up step_up step_up step_up step_left step_up step_up end

#org 0x16EAA9
M step_down step_down step_right step_down step_down step_down step_down step_down end

Places where I feel like I may have screwed up:
-I used two unused bytes to create my own flag bit (0307)
-I set Flag to "0" on Johtomap (I tried "1" as well but nothing changed)
-I set the script pointer on Johtomap to "2812"

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You!

Have you made sure that the map has an entry in the trigger table? This is probably the reason the trigger is not activating at all.

If you'd like to have a coord event independent of map triggers, set Flag to -1 (255).

Thanks for the feedback. I replaced the entry for Route outside New Bark Town with the map I wanted and the trigger started to work. After the emoticon bubble appears over my [PLAYER] the game freezes. I tried changing around some things in my script but it didn't work. Anyone able to help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

The script is:

#org 0x16EA55
'-----------------------------------

showemote 0x0 0x0 0xF

applymovement 0xC 0x6AA9 ' 0x16EAA9
playsound 0x39
disappear 0xC
waitbutton

end
