[Other✓] help with vs.seeker (firered)

[JohnHenryC]

Hey! I'm fairly new to rom hacking and have some questions about vs.seeker in firered/leafgreen.

How do i get trainers to respond to vs seeker? I have a proper script with 0x0 and 0x5(i think :) ) but why doesnt the trainer want to rematch me?

The things that happens:
1. A x appear over the trainers head indicating a no.
2. A message saying "there is no trainers around. The vs seeker was turned of"

Either way i cant rebattle him...
If u know some about the vs seeker, please give me a point in the right direction.

Thx in advance!

You need to have the flag 0x82C set.

HI! Spherical Ice! I read ur comment about that flag on another post. and i have tried but didnt get it to work.. :( Dont know why...

here is some screenshots:

"image removed"

"image removed"

"image removed"

here is my script for my trainer:

#dynamic 0x600000

#org @main
trainerbattle 0x0 0x2E7 0x0 @intro @defeat
special2 LASTRESULT 0x39
compare LASTRESULT 0x1
if 0x1 goto @main2
msgbox @msg 0x2
end

#org @main2
trainerbattle 0x5 0x2E7 0x0 @intro @defeat
msgbox @msg2 0x2
end

#org @intro
= Where did I come from?

#org @defeat
= ....

#org @msg
= You again?

#org @msg2
= You again?

Well, this is your script is a more clean format. Offsets before 0x720000 are not safe for use. If you did actually set the flag and everything, then it should be working.

I can't get it to work...
I changed the offsets and compiled again still same results...

thx for taking ur time though

Oh, I know the reason why this isn't working: you're using an invalid Trainer ID.

Don't try and create new Trainers: there are more than enough free spaces for new Trainers, and you can always replace pre-existing ones, too. Try this script again, this time using the Trainer ID of, say, 0x0. Also, it turns out I was completely wrong when I said 0x82C was the flag you needed to set. I don't think it uses a flag at all, but it wouldn't be 0x82C anyway, it would be 0x292. As the highest Trainer ID is 0x2E5, nothing higher will be compatible with the Vs. Seeker, unless you break some limiters (I would assume, I don't actually know).

Thx now its workning! Im using trainer BEN 0x59 in my new trainer script with vs.seeker and it works!
But you need to have the flag 0x292 set! and dont use invalid trainers!

(Just some curios question: I haved played the game through before trying to implent new trainers and experimenting with vs.seeker. but i have used the vs.seeker on trainers before "in the game" and it worked to rebattle them... but with my new trainer i had to set the flag before the vs.seeker was willing to work..

Its strange..)

But now this is solved we could say!
