scripting

[furrylilkreature]

I don't really know what scripting is but by what I do know about it is I do not think I need it that much

[Matt Brown]

huh? okay, I think I got that...

yeah, you do need to learn how to script, if even just a little bit. if you ever want an action to do more then one thing, you have to script

[furrylilkreature]

well if I ever need it i'll use it

[Bob The Hun]

You can make a simple game without scripting, but you need to stick to the extreme basics. If you want to do anything even relatively complex, you need to do at least some scripting.
It's not near as hard as it sounds though. AGS is really easy to script with, and the help guide that comes with the download does a good job of explaining how to do scripting. And, of course, there's countless tutorials scattered around out there.

Try to make more sense man, this is a goofy topic to say the least....

And yes, you would do well to learn scripting, but maybe try making a small game first without it, and if during the process you decide you need it and understand it, thats the time to use it...

Welcome to the forum...

FaceCharacter(Eggie,furrylilkreature);
DisplaySpeech(Eggie,"Welcome to the forum");
Display("Furrylilkreature throws a brick at Eggie.");
character[Eggie].room=0;
character[Corpse].room=1;
//It's been a while since I've played about with AGS, Did I get that right?

[furrylilkreature]

yah probally so

[Bob The Hun]

Eggie, it should be:
character[Eggie].room=-1;
Close, though.

[furrylilkreature]

I thought there was a mistake

Or you could just change the view of Eggie, rather than swap characters. There's so many ways to do it, isn't AGS great?

Let's all sing the "AGS is great" song:

AGS is great
AGS is great
If it was a pie I'd eat it off a plate
AGS is great
AGS is great
If you use AGS, your project will not be late

CJ is the best
CJ is the best
If we were stuck in the Arctic together, I'd give him my thermal vest
CJ is the best
CJ is the best
If you love AGS then leave him a large bequest

feel free to add your own verses....

DisplaySpeechBackground is really cool,
DisplaySpeechBackground is really cool,
If you don't abuse it then you are a fool,
DisplaySpeechBackground is really cool,
DisplaySpeechBackground is really cool,
If the engine was a necklace it would be a precious jewel.

ok I'll learn scripting

[furrylilkreature]

lol lol lmao I just read about it and it seems I already knew how to do scripting, but I didn't know that what I was doing was scripting

hope you under stand that

[Eggie]

You thought scripting was sticking cheese up your arse?
Yeah, I can empathise with you, there.

[furrylilkreature]

I mean I still need to learn timeings and getting the ability to have a selection of things to say buy other than that that's it
