Keycode Problem

[Estaog]

I did this code in the global script so it will be like monkey island when you press f1 the quit gui comes up.But nothing seems to happen. Help?

if (b==0) keycode=0;
if (b==1) keycode=1;
if (keycode==359) GUIOn (1);

[Gilbert]

Did you put it in the on_key_press() function?

[strazer]

What is the variable b for?

If it can only be either 0 or 1 then

  if (keycode==359) GUIOn (1);

would never be true since you reset the keycode variable in both instances.

or, if you really want to do it that way, try this instead:

if (keycode==359) GUIOn (1);
if (b==0) keycode=0;
if (b==1) keycode=1;

[Estaog]

I put this code in my Repeatedly execute part:
on_key_press (359) { GUIOn (1)}
And its saying unidentified token when saving, what is the deal?

[Barbarian]

Try putting under the part of the global script that has:

"function on_key_press(int keycode)"

And I tested to see if I could use my F1 key to open up my inventory GUI and it worked fine. I added the following command:

if (keycode==359) {GUIOn(INVENTORY);}

Ã,  Ã, You could probably do something similar to enable your GUI? Instead of using the specific GUI number (as I know that can change sometimes according to how you program things), use the GUI name instead perhaps, so regardless of the GUI number, the name of a GUI should still be associated with it. Well, either way should work fine I guess?Ã, 

*Edit:  If you just want to bring up the default Quit GUI when you press the F1 key, then I think it would be:

if (keycode==359) {QuitGame(1); }

[Estaog]

Actually i did use that. But i did something that allowed you only to bring it up from room 2, removed it, and i still cant bring it up in room 1. It just flashes when i press f1. Any ideas?

[Radiant]

Show us your code please? You probably didn't remove it properly, I'd guess

[Estaog]

function on_key_press(int keycode) {
  // called when a key is pressed. keycode holds the key's ASCII code
  if (IsGamePaused() == 1) keycode=0;  // game paused, so don't react to keypresses
  if (keycode==359) GUIOn (1);
  if (keycode==434) SaveScreenShot("scrnshot.bmp");  // F12
  if (keycode==19)  Debug(0,0);  // Ctrl-S, give all inventory
  if (keycode==22)  Debug(1,0);  // Ctrl-V, version
  if (keycode==1)   Debug(2,0);  // Ctrl-A, show walkable areas
  if (keycode==24)  Debug(3,0);  // Ctrl-X, teleport to room
}

There used to be something that said if b==1 keycode=0, but removed it and its still flashing in room 1. I cant understand why. Maybe you know.

function on_key_press(int keycode) {
Ã,  // called when a key is pressed. keycode holds the key's ASCII code
Ã,  if (IsGamePaused() == 1) keycode=0;Ã,  // game paused, so don't react to keypresses
Ã,  if (keycode==359) GUIOn (1);
Ã,  if (keycode==434) SaveScreenShot("scrnshot.bmp");Ã,  // F12
Ã,  if (keycode==19)Ã,  Debug(0,0);Ã,  // Ctrl-S, give all inventory
Ã,  if (keycode==22)Ã,  Debug(1,0);Ã,  // Ctrl-V, version
Ã,  if (keycode==1)Ã,  Ã, Debug(2,0);Ã,  // Ctrl-A, show walkable areas
Ã,  if (keycode==24)Ã,  Debug(3,0);Ã,  // Ctrl-X, teleport to room
}

Well, looking at the global script from a freshly started new game, that part of the code looks like:

function on_key_press(int keycode) {
Ã,  // called when a key is pressed. keycode holds the key's ASCII code
Ã,  if (IsGamePaused() == 1) keycode=0;Ã,  // game paused, so don't react to keypresses
Ã,  if (keycode==17)Ã,  QuitGame(1);Ã,  Ã, // Ctrl-Q
Ã,  if (keycode==363) SaveGameDialog();Ã,  Ã, // F5
Ã,  if (keycode==365) RestoreGameDialog();Ã,  // F7
Ã,  if (keycode==367) RestartGame();Ã,  // F9
Ã,  if (keycode==434) SaveScreenShot("scrnshot.bmp");Ã,  // F12
Ã,  if (keycode==9)Ã,  Ã, show_inventory_window();Ã,  // Tab, show inventory

Ã,  if (keycode==19)Ã,  Debug(0,0);Ã,  // Ctrl-S, give all inventory
Ã,  if (keycode==22)Ã,  Debug(1,0);Ã,  // Ctrl-V, version
Ã,  if (keycode==1)Ã,  Ã, Debug(2,0);Ã,  // Ctrl-A, show walkable areas
Ã,  if (keycode==24)Ã,  Debug(3,0);Ã,  // Ctrl-X, teleport to room
}


Ã,  Ã, So, maybe just use that, but instead of Ctrl-Q for quitting the game: if (keycode==17)Ã,  QuitGame(1);
...change it to: if (keycode==359) QuitGame(1);

You mean change it to (keycode==359) GuiOn(1);
Right?

[Scorpiorus]

Yes, put GuiOn(1) instead and see if it works.

[Estaog]

Nope it still flashes!

[Scorpiorus]

What do you mean by 'flashes', does the GUI come up and then quickly disappear?

[Radiant]

Maybe your GUI is being turned off somewhere else?
Are you doing this:

Code: ags

if (IsGUIOn (1) == 0) {
  if (keycode == 42) GUIOn (1);
}

if (IsGUIOn (1) == 1) {
  if (keycode == 42) GUIOff (1);
}

See what I mean? It may be the case that the same key turns the GUI back off?

[Estaog]

What do you mean by 'flashes', does the GUI come up and then quickly disappear?

Yes thats what it does.

But then how come it onlyh flashes in that room?

[SSH]

Check that room script... you probably have a GUIOFF in your repeatedly execute when you meant for it to be in the before fadein interaction...

[Estaog]

PlayMusic (1);
GUIOff (1); 
GUIOff (0); <= (:o)
if (cut==3) {
  ObjectOn (0);
  ObjectOn (1);

Why watever do you mean?  :
