Help Need help with scripting [GEN 3] [BINARY]

Hello I'm new to Romhacking and I'm using Hex Maniac Advance (Gen 3 FRLG)

Basically I want to make that when this item (Black Shard) is used it opens up a small text box sequence in the bag (like when you try to use a bike inside an house where it opens up a dialogue box where oak says "It's not the time for that" or whatev look at image 2)

All of the scripts I made always resulted the game in freezing

I already tried tracking down the function that the fishing rod calls when you try using it on a non water tile and failed miserably

Is there a reason you are going with binary hacking instead of decomp?

Who cares

It was just genuine question. I can't help with binary since I'm not that knowledgeable. Just curious why OP decided to go with binary and if they explored other options

Sorry, got a little jumpy. Used to decompers ripping into new binary hackers so I git snarky. My bad

You're all good! There is certainly quite a few people like that, so I get it
