Hello! I'm kind of a noob here, so i don't know all the terms for TASing, but what are scripts? I just TAS a game through the emulator. I have no idea how Hex works. How fast of a time did the Japanese guy get? A guy on YouTube got 1:50.
What exactly can scripts do? How would they be useful? Would it be easier to make one than to play it in the emulator manually?
Could there be a script that tells me what frame i would have to land to get a critical or dodge? I've spent hours trying to find that perfect frame. It would really help out. Is that possible?
so how do i make a script? do i use notepad or something? or is it within the emulator itself?
The loop says to execute all the codes in its interior as long as the script is running. The first line within the loop reads the byte you're interested in and stores it to valueofinterest. The second line says to display the results onscreen at x-coordinate 10, y-coordinate 10. The last two arguments of gui.text just make the text white with a black background. The third (or last, depending on how you want to look at it) says to advance one frame. If you don't include that line, your emulator will cease to run and the script will crash. Your second script (same function, slightly more advanced) should look something like this:Language: luawhile true do valueofinterest=memory.readbyte(0x00) --Replace "0x00" with a RAM address that you're interested in. It will be in hexadecimal, so it should still begin with "0x". gui.text(10,10,valueofinterest,0xFFFFFFFF,0x000000FF) emu.frameadvance() end
This script just displays several results (up to 15) onscreen. The only thing you should know is that the # sign takes the length of an array. Therefore,Language: luawhile true do valuesofinterest={0x00, --Replace all of these with RAM addresses of interest. You can also shorten the list. 0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04, 0x05, 0x06, 0x07, 0x08, 0x09, 0x0A, 0x0B, 0x0C, 0x0D, 0x0E, 0x0F} for i=1,#valuesofinterest do gui.text(10,10+9*i,valuesofinterest[i],0xFFFFFFFF,0x000000FF) end emu.frameadvance() end
will display 8, followed by 3. That's as much of a tutorial as I can offer for now! Go nuts with it!Language: luaA={1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8} B={1,{2,{3,4},{5}},{6,7,8}} disp(#A) disp(#B)
