Action on an inaccessible area

[Peegee]

Hello, a general question:

I have a character or an area where the player cannot yet access. If I click on it, the player cannot move to the area, but he still does his action, from where he is. How to avoid this?

You can draw a region in the area where the player character should be to trigger the event.

Then you add a condition when the player click on the hotspot/object/character:

Code: ags

if (Region.GetAtRoomXY(player.x, player.y) == region[1]) {
//perform the action
}

else {
//do something else
}

Or you can simply make the hotspot/object/character non clickable at first and activate it when the new area is accessible.

Thank you for the answer. I try the first solution (you must not put "player.", Only the positions) but it does not work.

(you must not put "player.", Only the positions) but it does not work.

You should put 'player.x' & 'player.y', as these two are the player character's positions.

Yes I put this:    if (Region.GetAtRoomXY(player.228, player.173) == region[7])
But the program doesn't take it.

He takes that well:     if (Region.GetAtRoomXY(228, 173) == region[7])
But that doesn't change my problem.

You seem to misunderstand, the proper way was to do literally

Code: ags

if (Region.GetAtRoomXY(player.x, player.y) == region[7])

The point is that you ask engine to check which coordinates player character is at. You don't have to know these coordinates yourself.

Ok, it works! Thank you.
