Beginners' Technical Questions / Re: How do I make events only happen once
« on: 07 Apr 2018, 07:55 »
you can use a global variable that changes from isCoalTaken(false) to isCoalTaken(true).
And a If statement that checks this variable.
Also you can take a look in the manual at the function DoOnceOnly().

Thanks to everyone involved @ AGS community!

Beginners' Technical Questions / Re: Label appends with a space first
« on: 24 Mar 2018, 16:40 »
If I understand correctly, when you enter a space, it's not displayed... that's it?
Well, you could try the character 255 in ASCII mode (accessible with alt+255 on the num pad), it should display an empty character. I can't test it, though...

General Discussion / Re: Suggest good psychological horror films :)
« on: 03 Feb 2018, 09:49 »John Carpenter's "The Thing"I agree. And it's way better than its prequel.
Another movie : I'd say Rosemary's Baby could fit in this category.

Editor Development / Re: [MODIFICATION] AGS v.3.3.2.0 Draconian Themed Code Editor
« on: 30 Jan 2018, 17:27 »Come on, people kept asking to add Draconian dark theme to the "official" AGS editor, and when we have an actual test build no one wants to try outFound some time to test it. It works fine.

AGS Engine & Editor Releases / Re: AGS 3.4.1 -- latest STABLE version

.ags file is the game content minus the engine executable (it's the raw file which is then used to create the Windows version and the Linux version)
In the Windows folder, the .exe is the engine + the data files.
The usual way to run the game in Windows is to directly use the game .exe file. But you can also copy acwin.exe (the game engine) from your Program files\AGS... folder in the folder containing the .ags file and acwin.exe will run the game using the .ags file.
In this last case, if you want to run the setup, run "acwin.exe --setup".
