Hey all, I created a macro system for event scripting in the DS generation of Pokémon games.
It can be found here.
Note: this only supports Black 2 and White 2 at the moment, and not all script commands from those games are in.
Requirements
To set it up, you will need:
devkitARM (included with devkitPro).
Python 3.4 or greater.
Utilizing it:
To start, make sure this is included at the top of your file:
Once you do that, make a label for the script you are writing:
Example:
# script goes here
Then, add a new label at the top, and add pointers to your script like so:
scripts:
script <script label>
Then, compile it using the Python script:
python CheapScript.py <script> <output directory>
Once you do all of that, add the script to your game by finding the corresponding script NARC (in B2W2, it is a0/5/6), and replacing the script container that you want to (in SDSME, you can find a list of them, under the “script” section in the Map Headers tab).
Profit!
An example of a script in action can be seen here.
Happy scripting!
