Beginners' Technical Questions / Re: Using multiple Items on Inventory
« on: 20 Feb 2012, 14:21 »Yup, that should do it.
If you want to use modules though, just download the module from the link. It seems it was this one I thought about: http://www.bigbluecup.com/yabb/index.php?topic=20650.0
The one I mentioned earlier had a broken link.
Then you unzip it. In AGS, right click on the Scripts pane, and select "Import Script". Find the unzipped files and import the *.scm-file. It then adds to your scripts. included in the zip is a txt-file which shows you how to use the module while scripting.

Beginners' Technical Questions / Re: Using multiple Items on Inventory
« on: 20 Feb 2012, 08:03 »
For your first question: You don't need another function for that, you just check the same way you have already done. Simply add an "else if) and check for another inventory object.
[code]
function iDorn_UseInv()
{
if (cOli.ActiveInventory == iZahnseide)
{
cOli.LoseInventory(iDorn);
cOli.LoseInventory(iZahnseide);
cOli.AddInventory(iDornmitSchnur);
}
else if (cOli.ActiveInventory == iSomethingElse)
{
//your code here
}
else if...
}
[/code]
For the second question: Game.DoOnceOnly command should work here.
For your last question, there are several ways to do that. You could either define a variable (i.e. door_open, and set this to true when the button is pushed. You can then check this variable when entering your other room to see if the door should be open or closed.
If you want to turn objects or hotspots on and off in another room, I recommend this module: http://www.bigbluecup.com/yabb/index.php?topic=14203.0

}
else if (cOli.ActiveInventory == iSomethingElse)
{
//your code here
}

Critics' Lounge / Re: Sam & Max - Lip Sync animation
« on: 16 Feb 2012, 08:56 »
Looks good!
Right now max has more of a shoulder bobbing. But i imported it in photoshop to see it better what it would look like if the shoulders stood still and the head bobbed, and perhaps it's a bit jittery. Sam looks great though!

Beginners' Technical Questions / Re: How to import global functions for use in events in the properties window
« on: 16 Feb 2012, 08:41 »
I don't know if that's possible.
But a quick workaround is to create a new function in the room script, and run that from the event window.
In that function you can run your 'globalfunction'.
Works like shit!

« on: 19 Dec 2011, 06:26 »
You need to check which inventory item is the active one.
[code]
if (player.ActiveInventory==iItem)
{
//do stuff
}
else
{
//do some other stuff
}
[/code]
[code]
if (player.ActiveInventory==iItem)

Sorry to dig up this old thread, but Gilbert has just posted some concept art for his Double Fine collaboration. The images can be found at his blog: http://grumpygamer.com/5694081

"Here are a couple of fine pieces of concept art from the game I'm making with the amazing folks at Double Fine. I'm so excited. This is an idea that has been in my head for a long long long time. It predates Maniac Mansion and Monkey Island. It's a game that needed to be made. These are two of the playable characters. That's all I can say right now, but more will follow later."

Beginners' Technical Questions / Re: No control because of an eRepeat Animation
« on: 13 Oct 2011, 20:45 »
Actually, there is a much easyer way.. silly me.. :
Using your first code, simply adding eNoBlock afer it should do the trick.
[code]
function room_AfterFadeIn()
{
cTyp.Animate(2, 1, eRepeat, eNoBlock);
}
[/code]

You could set the animation as an idle view.
[code]
cTyp.SetIdleView(2, 0);
[/code]

Adventure Related Talk & Chat / Re: medium length games
« on: 12 Oct 2011, 11:06 »
Intersting thought... I don't know it there's an easy answer to that.
As far as I'm concerned, overall quality is perhaps more important than the length of the game. If it has its own charm, some creative game mechanics, etc.
But if I have to boil it down to a length for a "classic" adventure game, I would say perhaps two hours of gameplay.

Seconded.
To me, a short game would take less than 30 minutes to complete without a walkthrough.
Not sure where I would set the line between medium and full-length games though.
