[Script] How to activate the in-game events in Emerald and FireRed through ROM Hacking instead of cheats?

[Foxes]

So currently I've got a script in FireRed that, upon talking to an NPC, will give you the Mysticticket and Auroraticket, but I've heard that just having the items is not enough to trigger the event. I also can't find the item code for the Old Sea Map in Emerald anywhere, so I can't complete my script for that.

1) Does anyone know of a way to activate the events without cheats since they don't work by just having the items?

2) Does anyone know the XSE item code for the Old Sea Map in Emerald, or how I can find it out (like using a cheat to obtain it and then finding it by looking through the save file or something like that)?

EDIT: I found the item code for the Old Sea Map, now I just need to know how to enable the event without using cheats.

Script:

setflag 0x84A and setflag 0x84B for FireRed.

setflag 0x84A and setflag 0x84B for FireRed.

Thanks man. I'm assuming this script should work for FR?

Also, do you happen to know what to do for the Eon Ticket, Mystic Ticket, Aurora Ticket and Old Sea Map in Emerald? Would the flags for the Mystic Ticket and Aurora Ticket be the same?
I found this when looking at the script for the ferry person in Lilycove, and I assume that the "compare" parts are related to the events, but I'm not entirely sure what I'd do with it. Again, thanks for any help.

You can also just write a script to give the player the items...

Did you read the post? At all? Just having the items is not enough to trigger the event. I needed to know what the flags were that would allow the event to be activated, and I know them now for both FireRed and Emerald.

Additionally, you can also just make your own wild encounters for the respective legendaries and just make a quick hex edit that forces them to obey (in case of something like Mew/Deoxys)

I don't need to anymore. I've got scripts for both FireRed and Emerald that allows the events themselves to be accessed from within the game.

What I need to change to make this script compatible with fire red french version ?

Edit: I understood how it works, here is my adaptation for "rouge feu". The flags are the same so it was easy port. I give this script to a rocket grunt.

I also can't find the item code for the Old Sea Map in Emerald anywhere, so I can't complete my script for that.

How do I use this code?

just put it on an npc

 

[Tacobell24]

Pretty sure you can jut use Advance Map to change an existing item script to get the items you want instead.
Or else just change a warp to end up on Faraway Island etc .

 

[Hiroshi Sotomura]

Just gonna point out that the answer is there in posts #2 and #7, and it doesn't need to be repeated ad nauseam that just giving the item does not work.

Anyone needing script help should check out Avara's excellent scripting tutorial for answers on how to put scripts together, compile them, and apply them to NPCs and triggers.
