how to join rooms (SOLVED)

[davej]

hi,

ive made about 10 rooms some are playable and the others are cutscenes how do i join them all together?

and also how do i get the game to start in the first room which is a intro scene and i dont need the charcter there

[Apocalyptic]

to join rooms: at the end of cutscene script. say player.changeroom(room number, x, y); you can set the player to be outside the room. then he wont be in it. if you want the character to walk off the edge of a room to go to the next. the go to the room and under events select walks off edge the put the changeroom command in there.
see manual: http://www.americangirlscouts.org/agswiki/Character_functions_and_properties#Character.ChangeRoom

to choose starting room: under general setting you can look for start the room to start in option

Also, you can set "Show Player Character" to false in a room's properties. Then you can send the character to the room to play the cutscene, but we won't see the main character.

davej, sorry to say this, but you really should RTFM... sorry again  

Back to your question though, there is such thing as conditions. You write something like:

Code: ags

if (player.HasInventory(ItemNameHere))
{
   player.ChangeRoom(bla bla bla);
}

Ofcourse some details may be different depending on particular situation.

[barefoot]

You need to assign a function (condition) for if the player HasInventory DO THIS Else DO THIS

EG

Code: ags

{
  if(player.HasInventory(igun))
  {
    Display("You go back into Al's Diner"); 
    player.ChangeRoom(5, 153, 393);
  }
  else
  {
    
     Display("You have'nt got your gun yet!");
  }
}

Obviously you need to amend the above code to what you want to happen..

This is all in the Manual..
