How do you make the player change rooms?

[Mike]

 ???In AGS when on Room Editor-Settings, click on the interaction button and you can select some options like charactor walks of left of screen etc. I want the charactor to change rooms when he walks of the screen.   How do you make the charactor do that?  
Because you have to type in the room number and the Edge+OffsetValue.  What is the Edge+OffSetValue and how do you calculate it?

In the engine, in Room Editor, Settings, you'll see yellow lines. Four, one on top, bottom, left, right. You can move these lines by clicking and draging them to a specified place in your room. Then...go to your interactions editor. Walks off whatever direction you wanted...double click and choose Player Go to A different room at specific coordinates (or just Player goes to a different room, if you don't care where he is in the next room). Specify the room number and the x and y location of the next room (if that's what you chose). Hope this answers your question.

or you can choose RUN SCRIPT and fill in

NewRoom(2) // or whatever number of room

or you can do this one

NewRoomEx(2,20,140); // now you'll load room2, and set player at x-coordinate 20 and y-coordinate 140!

I think  that number is used by an older version of AGS to determine how far from the screen edge you will be when you arrive at new room. Can anyone verify this?
Best option would be player go to room at specific coordinatess (NewRoomEx) so you have more control.

it doesn't really matter. i just ignore it. just type in the room number
