List of Script Variables

This page lists all the variables available on the scripting engine. They can be read or written to from scripts.

Some variables store a single value, whereas others can store multiple bitflags.

List of variables

0x0 - VERSION

Seems to be used to keep track of save file versions. It's stored in the save file when the game is saved. When loading a save file, if the version value in it doesn't match the value of this variable, the save file is deleted.

0x1 - CONDITION

Completely unused. Purpose unknown...

0x2 - SCENARIO_SELECT

Two indexed values determined via the Top Menu. These are referenced by Unionall for general control flow.

To be a bit more specific, the first coroutine run after the Top Menu is EVENT_DIVIDE, which checks for these indexed values. In doing so, the game knows when to load scripts from maingame, a Special Episode, or Rescue mode.

0x3 - SCENARIO_MAIN

Stores game progress. The first value correlates with the MAIN value (mostly aligns with the story chapter), while the second is generally used to track progress within that MAIN.

0x4 - SCENARIO_SIDE

Like SCENARIO_MAIN, but for special episode progress.

0xc - SCENARIO_SUB8

As far as is currently known, SCENARIO_SUB1 through SCENARIO_SUB8 are completely unused by the base-game! Perhaps they were intended to store side-quest progress of some sort?

0xd - SIDE02_TALK

Three bit flags that keeps track of the neighbors Igglybuff talked to in Special Episode 2

0xe - SIDE06_ROOM

Three bit flags that keeps track of the Limestone Cavern paths Team Charm visited in Special Episode 4

0xf - SIDE08_BOSS2ND

True if the player lose against Sableyes in Barren Valley Clearing in Special Episode 5

0x10 - SIDE01_BOSS2ND

True if Snover has betrayed bidoof in Special Episode 1. Used to determine whether Snover will be an ally in Star Cave or not.

0x11 - SCENARIO_MAIN_BIT_FLAG

Has many purposes, sometimes have hardcoded or technical effects, but not always.

0x12 - SCENARIO_TALK_BIT_FLAG

Up through [200] are in use, and they primarily exist to remember if the player has already talked with an NPC (therefore playing modified or shorter dialogue the second time around). For example, every merchant in treasure town comments on the player's accomplishments (like defeating Darkrai) the first time you talk to them. Whether that conversation has happened yet is tracked with SCENARIO_TALK_BIT_FLAG.

0x13 - SCENARIO_BALANCE_FLAG

Starts at 0 and gets increased as the player completes certain story events. Controls bag size, Wynaut/Spinda dungeon unlocks, and the spawn threshold value of pokémon, which restricts spawning of some species until this variable reaches a certain value.

Value changes

This table lists the exact story spots where the value of the flag is increased.

Flag value	Story chapter	Story event	Scene	Script
0	1	Start of a new game	-	-
1	3	End of chapter	V03P12A	m03a1314.ssb

This table lists the maximum bag size depending on the current value of SCENARIO_BALANCE_FLAG.

Flag value	Bag size
0	16
1	24
2	32
3	40
4	40
5	40
6	48
7	48

Values higher than 7 will read garbage data and cause crashes.

If PERFORMANCE_PROGRESS_LIST[2] is 0, the bag will only have 1 slot, regardless of the value of SCENARIO_BALANCE_FLAG.

0x4a - SPECIAL_EPISODE_TYPE

Tracks which Special Episode is currently active, just like EXECUTE_SPECIAL_EPISODE_TYPE.

0x4b - SPECIAL_EPISODE_OPEN

0x4e - PERFORMANCE_PROGRESS_LIST

List of flags used to keep track of unlocked features and achievements. See Performance Progress Flags for the full list.

0x4f - DUNGEON_OPEN_LIST

List of unlocked dungeons. One bit per dungeon ID. If true, and the dungeon isn't on some blacklist, you can enter this dungeon from the crossroads/dojo/igglybuff's house/pelipper standby adventure.

Setting a dungeon to DMODE_OPEN or DMODE_OPEN_AND_REQUEST enables the matching bit in this field!

0x50 - DUNGEON_ENTER_LIST

Large bitfield sized for storing dungeon-specific data. This is checked at [NA]0x204CEE0, but never assigned. Presumed Unused

0x51 - DUNGEON_ARRIVE_LIST

Large bitfield sized for storing dungeon-specific data. Presumed Unused

0x52 - DUNGEON_CONQUEST_LIST

List of completed dungeons. One bit per dungeon ID. Automatically set on clearing any dungeon.

In many cases, this bitfield renders other flags or variables redundant in a vanilla setting, especially certain $PERFORMANCE_PROGRESS_LIST flags that are always enabled after clearing certain dungeons for the first time.

0x53 - DUNGEON_PRESENT_LIST

Large bitfield sized for storing dungeon-specific data. Presumed Unused

0x54 - DUNGEON_REQUEST_LIST

List of dungeons that no longer have story progression. On completing a dungeon with this bit enabled, the player will enter [INSERT THE RIGHT COROUTINE HERE] in unionall.

Setting a dungeon to DMODE_REQUEST or DMODE_OPEN_AND_REQUEST enables the matching bit in this field!

Contrary to the name, this field alone is insufficient for missions to show up on the job board! Only dungeon in DMODE_OPEN_AND_REQUEST can have missions, and other (hardcoded) conditions must be met.

Happiny requests the item stored in this variable if found on Sky Peak. Pulled from an item table each day.

0x66 - ITEM_BACKUP_TAKE

0x72 - SUM

Seems to be a marker of the end of "normal" script variables.

0x400 - LOCAL0

Unknown if used in vanilla, is reset on entering a new script like $EVENT_LOCAL.

NOTE: Is unique for every routine in a script! $LOCAL0 in def 0 is distinct from $LOCAL0 in def 1!

0x401 - LOCAL1

Unknown if used in vanilla, is reset on entering a new script like $EVENT_LOCAL.

NOTE: Is unique for every routine in a script! $LOCAL1 indef 0 is distinct from $LOCAL1 in def 1!

Broken, do not use unless you know what you are doing!

0x403 - LOCAL3

Broken, do not use unless you know what you are doing!

Variable Lengths

Not all variables can store the same sized values! Some were allocated to be different sizes than others. Besides the standard sizes, there are 2 unusual variable sizes worth mentioning. "special" variable sizes are not stored in the same place as every other variable, and instead read some other value, such as the number of money the player currently has, or the current language of the ROM. "None" size is only used by the "SUM" variable, and has no allocated space at all. Below are a list of variables, their sizes, and how many there are:
