How could I make a somthing print directly off of the game. I want to have the player find somthing that the player will need throughout the game that will print off when they find it.
Do you mean print out of your printer? What if someone doesn't have a printer attached to the computer?
Or am I completely misunderstanding you...
I guess that's what he means.
You could zip a pdf, protect it with a password and tell the pw in-game when the player discovers the item.
I wouldn't want a game print out something directly. That's about as evil as disabling Alt-X ;)
Well I felt awkward at first (since I don't have a printer so I would hate a game which requires to print something), but if it's some educational game and the like that are targeted for learning in a classroom I think it's alright.
You can't print stuff within an AGS game directly (I think the old console way of writing to devices like prn: won't work), you may generate a textfile that the player can print later though (or the password protected ZIP method like KhrisMUC mentioned), or, if someone makes a plugin that can print stuff directly.
Thanks I didint know you could lock pdf files. that should work.
