Mekkah Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) So me and Rolanmen1 sometimes talk on MSN. One day he approached me and said he had something funny to show me, but I had to download something and then put it in a folder somewhere and then also get a new VBA version and a lot of other stuff so I could hardly be bothered to do it. I did it anyway, and he gave me some instructions on what to do. Then I saw what it did and I was like "wow, this is funny". He actually invented a script that allows you to teleport any unit (player, enemy, NPC) anywhere, without using up their turn. It was hilarious. I did one lazy playthrough with it, then actually went for low turns on my second playthrough, and then cut even more turns off in my final playthrough, which I recorded. The playlist of these videos is here. The playthrough is mostly self explanatory. At times it looks a little sloppy because I'm not a pro recorder/planner/etc, plus the way you warp things around is weird. You have to put your cursor on a unit, press [keyboard] Q, then put your cursor on the place you want them to go through, press [keyboard] W, and then kind of refresh the screen by pressing [game] A. Sometimes this is a little unresponsive, I end up transporting the wrong units or put them on the wrong tiles, etc. Everything is recorded, I'm just uploading them rather slowly. Enjoy. For those of you who want to try this on their own: http://speedy.sh/TVvJC/rolans-weird-script.lua Download this and run it. You might need to get a special version of VBA and maybe something else I forgot. Edited January 27, 2012 by Mekkah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaketheGr3at Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Wow, that is pretty cool. I feel like I would have a lot less fun playing the game that way though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacLovin Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Patch please. Also, this looks interesting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorena Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Yea, this would be rather fun to simply play around with when you've got plenty of time on your hands. Not to mention you could play around with entry zones and reinforcement stuff. Not sure if that's easily known though. I have no idea what prompts Vaida to come or not come on HHM at times.

Geriba Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 lol this is so ridiculous. That Kent is absurdly good, btw And here's a little fun fact that you can test for yourself via warping around: in Chapter 17, if you warp Lyn up to the Caelin soldiers and have her open the door, it'll initiate a conversation that you're not normally supposed to see.

OrangeCrush980 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Also, if Mekkah had watched the cutscene after chapter 20, the game would've frozen due to Eliwood not being able to get to the stairs at the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celice Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Patch please. Also, this looks interesting... At the mentioning of a script, I don't think it's a patch you'll need. The script is probably some LUA stuff, so you need to get the fork of VBA that supports LUA scripting. That should be all that's necessary--but this is just interpreted from what the first post suggests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, this is actually really interesting. Is there video that shows this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekkah Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) It's not as exciting as you'd think but I can upload it as a blooper of sorts. Edited January 27, 2012 by Mekkah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
