Whatevs-4

I meant the Visit option never popped up. And the level and allegiance are both contained in the 0x14 bit; the available level/allegiance combinations have their own hex IDs which you can look up using Nightmare. I think that one's Level 2, enemy, not auto-leveled.

My code works now. How'd I fix it? Used the template and copy pasta'd my events into it. I have no flipping clue why that solved the issues, since my syntax had all been correct before. I'm guessing there's some aspect of the syntax that I was missing, like the order in which my events were present in the code and the lay-out and number of pointers I had mattered. If anyone knows more specific details about this sort of thing, I'd be interested in learning them.

This thread is becoming my live journal. If you have any solutions to anything I ask about, I'd appreciate your input!

I got rid of the freezing by giving my AREA events their own pointer. Everything's going swimmingly now except for two new things. My house event won't happen. At all. It works as an AREA event triggered by waiting in that square. It works as a TURN event. It just doesn't work as a LOCA event. And I very much want to use LOCA events instead of macros, since LOCA events seem way more powerful and customizable.

Also, DefeatAll(Ending_event) is not working. When I defeat all the enemies, it just continues business as usual with no enemy phase. The problem isn't with the Ending_event itself, as it works fine when I trigger it with different event types. DefeatAll just doesn't seem to be working (even when I have it go to other events I know work).

Any ideas? Everything else is going better than I ever imagined though. Hacking is so cool; I feel so powerful.

Here's my script:

I switched END_MAIN to TURN and LOCA under their respective headings and I changed ENDA to AFEV under Misc_events. Now when I move a unit, the action menu pops up again! But after I select Wait, the unit freezes and does not proceed to become grayed out/actually wait so that the game ends up in another immovable state.

What's this CODE 0x00 command I've been seeing? It produces errors when I include it in my scripts.

Thanks! Half of these issues were fixed by not using DISA. I clearly didn't understand that one. But I still have the (much more gamebreaking) issue of the freezing. I now have player phases, and if I move any of my characters, they freeze in place before their action menu pops up, just like the enemies from before. I can't figure this one out, as it seems like the sort of thing the game itself would be handling rather than my code. (I'm betting I accidentally overwrote some important code).

I created another map with Mappy and inserted it and it looked fine but kept freezing. I changed it a bit so the terrain the tactician moves over was traversable and the freezing stopped. That last bit makes sense (though I'm surprised the tactician collision detects, considering all its movement is scripted), but I have no idea what's up with the former. Regardless, problem solved.
