I'm a novice with AGS and I'm trying to create a scene from a book. I have 3 questions that I can't seem to figure out how to resolve:
(1) How do I animate characters using AGS?
(2) How do I create new characters that look different from each other without importing them? I tried to import a character that I created with a Paint program, but the game would only let me import AGS characters.
(3) How do I using an inventory item on a character.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Read the BFAQ (http://americangirlscouts.org/agswiki/index.php/Category:AGS_Beginners%27_FAQ) and the manual (comes with AGS - press F1 to open it - or is available on-line (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/manual/)).
Specifically, you want:
1)
The Character.Animate (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/manual/Character.Animate.htm) command (or the 'Character - Quick animation' Interaction Editor command). Possibly lessons 6 and 7 of the tutorial in the manual (Contents -> Tutorial -> Starting off).
