Game freeze when using SetAsPlayer()

[Bleckman1974]

Ok, I have a Hot spot,

Its a "Closet", when the character opens it, he gets an object, then when then player clicks on the hot spot again, he "changes Clothes" and the game continues.

with this code, it Gives the object, when the player clicks again the game freezes,

what is wrong with this code
if (player.InventoryQuantity[7] > 0) {
character[MANGEL].SetAsPlayer();
  return;
}
player.AddInventory(inventory[7]);
DisplayMessage(6);
return;
}


EDIT:
ok I just saw it was posted

but it Still Frezes the game

so NAAAA

BTW: That FAQ need to be UPDATED for 2.7.

1.What if you try:

Code: ags

if (player.InventoryQuantity[7] != 0) {
  character[MANGEL].SetAsPlayer();
}
else {
  player.AddInventory(inventory[7]);
  DisplayMessage(6);
}

(Although the whole thing seems odd to me, as when you change characters, the new one won't have the item anyway.)

2. What room is MANGEL in? SetAsPlayer will take the game to the new character, rather than bringing the new character to the current room. So, if MANGEL is in room -1 (for example) that might cause the problem. (Although, that's more likely to be a crash, than freezing the game.) Is MANGEL visible, on a walkable area, etc?

3.

when then player clicks on the hot spot again, he "changes Clothes"

Then why are you using SetAsPlayer? If you want it to be the same character just looking different, try using Character.ChangeView() (and .SpeechView, .IdleView, etc, as needed).

4. Descriptive thread titles, please. And watch your attitude.


Beyond these, I'm not sure what to suggest. What exactly do you mean by 'the game freezes'? (Totally unreponsive, just doesn't change characters, crashes, etc.)

thanks i Didn't Think of that LOL


Yeah, i can't click the Interface, the character won't move.

How big is the game so far? Any chance you could upload it somewhere for us to see? Possibly just the room would do, if the whole thing is too big (or you just don't want anyone seeing your game yet).

If you've checked the things I mentioned, I can't see a reason - from what you've said - for it to freeze, but there could be something you've overlooked in another bit of code.

 I did the Change Clothes thing, it worked like a Charm!

thanks!

Once again, Ii'm ot  an idiot, I just  tend to "OVER-THINK" and make it more Envolved than what it is.
