Calling Object from Global Script {Solved}

[Gabarts]

It's first time I try to animate an object. But I need to operate from the Global Script since it's inside a character interaction.

It gives me Undefined token oEffetto1

Here part of the code I have:

Code: ags

cGabbiano.UnlockView();
       Wait(40);
       oEffetto1.Visible = true;
       oEffetto1.SetView(38);
       oEffetto1.Animate(0, 4, eRepeat, eBlock, eForwards);
       Wait(60);
       oEffetto1.Visible = false;
       aGabbiano.Play();
       cGabbiano.Walk(220, 45, eBlock, eAnywhere);

I've tried using the object[0] ID but cannot find how to call from global script. I've used once to call from inside a dialog and it works but here it's the first time I face this error.

Globally, the objects are referenced with their IDs, not by their names.

Code: ags

cGabbiano.UnlockView();
       Wait(40);
       object[0].Visible = true;
       object[0].SetView(38);
       object[0].Animate(0, 4, eRepeat, eBlock, eForwards);
       Wait(60);
       oEffetto1.Visible = false;
       aGabbiano.Play();
       cGabbiano.Walk(220, 45, eBlock, eAnywhere);

Have you tried using the above code? Also, are you sure that the id of object oEffetto1 is ZERO (0)?

[Gabarts]

I have to check. I've tried using object[0] since I've already used for another script but maybe I've missed something.

If you use object[ID] inside a function it always search for the object inside the relative room?

Thanks for reply.

Each created object has its own unique ID. Hence using object[0] for the object whose ID is 1 will, obviously, won't help. My example will work only, if the ID of oEffeto1 is ZERO (0).

Yes, you understood correct!

Thanks for reply.

My pleasure.

Thanks again for the clarification.

I simply typed Object[0] instead of object[0]. etc etc
AGS has also the auto-coding function, I could make some tries before asking for help...
Anyway, I learned it.

Yeah, convention says that capital names are Class names, while variables are lowercase.

It happens, Gabarts... It happens to the best of us. You're not alone.
