Set a flag when you give the egg. At the start of the script, do a checkflag to see if the egg is already given.

Here's a Randomized Egg script that I wrote which gives a random baby egg, once.

Take the happiny egg script for example. It uses two flags; one for checking if the egg has been offered and another that checks to see if it has been given.

Happiny egg script is in file 54 for B2W2.

Will there be any more continuation of the previous tutorial? I would love to learn more commands. I think this is the 2nd week since I started hacking gen 5 roms and I'm starting to grasp the concept a lot faster now that I've reviewed this tutorial. I think the main thing I need reinforced is actually plugging scripted hex into an overworld without causing the rom to crash lol. But if I'm assuming correctly, I just look for a 2E 00 to 02 00 hex string to replace with a newly written script correct?

I've done a few tutorial videos on my channel; there's more information in the video descriptions and also in the B2W2 General ROM Info thread.

I've seen your tutorials and understand that, however for someone new to gen 5 rom hacking, they are awesome to look at and inspiring, however most of them go completely over my head, as I'm sure with a few other people (because they are simple for you, but advance for us). The tutorial here actually explained what the scripting function of each hex string did, which was not present in the video. Where in a few videos we were given the actual script to place, most of us look at it like...what am i supposed to do with it. Yes I could have deciphered the script that you gave, however it would have taken a very long time to figure out how it functioned down to a science. Also I don't understand how to replace a script within the hex. I've tried doing so which led to the game freezing, reason I wanted to clarify instead of repeated trial and error until I found a breakthrough.

When you replace a script, did you make sure that the header repoints to the new script? Also, does any interaction freeze the game, or is it specific?

To make things easier, you could copy out the entire script, hex edit it in notepad, paste it back and repoint the header to the correct script.

I'm not sure exactly how to do that. And basically an area of the map crashed, so if i tried to enter say a part of chargestone cave it would freeze the game. How would i go about repointing the header? and also how do i know where said hex script began and ended. By the way i was modifying scripts in the overworld narc if that helps any

there's a few things that are wrong with what you're saying, maleficusu.

Overworlds are entirely different from Event Scripts and Text. You can't mix files.

For NPC editing it's best to use Kazo's tool (although if you can do it in hex I'd do it that way, as NPCE deletes trigger data at the end). My lua script in my tutorial video can check to see if the data has been edited properly if you activate the checking mechanism ingame at the location.

What am I to do if I would like to change the ability/IVs/moves of the Pokemon upon hatching?

Thanks in advance!
