A Disguise script?

[Cyril_Grey]

I have a theory, and its just a theory I'm new at this whole thing but I wondered if it had been done before or if I'm just snatching at the impossible...

Lets say I make an Disguise, And when its interacted with it changes the view of the player to something else (Obviously the disguise)

function iDisguise_Interact()
{
player.ChangeView(2)
}

That works fine, but what needs to happen is that -while- disguised all conversations happen differently. i.e everyone drums up conversations like 'who are you?'

So! I know the answer, at least I think I do. There has to be a variable set in place, when you interact with iDisguise it adds a +1, when you interact with anyone with a +1 it brings up another set conversation.

function cAndrew_Talk()
{
if (disguiseCounter =1)
}
  dDisguise.Start() ;
{
if (disguiseCounter =0)
}
  dAndrew.Start() ;
{

Would this work at all? Am I onto something? If its possible, could someone help me do it, as I said... I'm making a wild guess at this and probably going about it all wrong.

Also... the disguise would have to be able to be taken off... So in the iDisguise script it would have to
}
  player.Addinventory (iTakeOff);
{
and then take iDisguise out of the inventory (By the way, what -is- the command to do that?). Am I even close? Someone has to explain... I think I might be going a bit deep for a first attempt at a game >.>

Yes this is would definitely work, but there are a few scripting errors.

function cAndrew_Talk()
{
   if (disguiseCounter == 1)
   {
      dDisguise.Start() ;
   }
   else
   {
      dAndrew.Start() ;
   }
}

I just realized that you could also use the disguise as an inventory item like this:

Disguise:

Code: ags

player.ChangeView(2);
player.AddInventory(iDisguise);

Interaction:

Code: ags

if (player.HasInventory(iDisguise))
	dDisguise.Start();
else
	dAndrew.Start();

Loose disguise:

Code: ags

player.ChangeView(0);
player.LoseInventory(iDisguise);

There's no need for variables or inv item checks, simply check the value of player.View.

Code: ags

function cAndrew_Talk() {
  if (player.View == 1) dAndrew.Start();
  else dDisguise.Start();
}

AH! Thank you! truly!

...Its like having my eyes opened for the first time :S
THANKS KHRIS!

Here is a script

cSusan.Walk(194,477,eBlock);
cSusan.ChangeRoom(8);
player.LoseInventory(iKarls);
Wait(40);
player.Walk(325,241,eBlock);
if (player.View == 4 )
player.AddInventory (iDisguiseX);
player.LoseInventory (iRemove);
else
player.AddInventory (iDisguiseX);
player.LoseInventory (iDisguise);
cMother.ChangeRoom(8);
Display("You pick up the woman, slinging her over your shoulder and trudging to the Temple of Morr");
player.ChangeView(7);
stop

I'm pretty sure its the 'else' that I'm doing wrong but... I cant seen to find out just -what- is wrong with this bit of code...

(This is a a bit in the game where you -must- loose your disguise if your wearing it, and you get it back later!)

Remember: if you want more than one command under if/else, put brackets!

Code: ags

 if (player.View == 4 )
 {
    player.AddInventory (iDisguiseX);
    player.LoseInventory (iRemove);
 }
 else
 {
    player.AddInventory (iDisguiseX);
    player.LoseInventory (iDisguise);
 }

Also, please, when you post a code here, put it inside [ code ] [ /code ] tags (without inner spaces), it will be easier to read
