Title: Character won't move
Post by: mouldy on Mon 14/08/2006 09:23:57
I stated a empty game, I put in the cursors and characters and tested it worked well he moved. Then I added a inventory GUI it still worked then a text window and a status line that is normal type and the character won't move for some reason??

Are you sure you didn't touch any mouse click related scripts? Is your status line a 320x200/240 size clickable GUI or something?

There could be many reasons..
check your walkable areas.. just in case
check your edges.. (the yellow lines) perhaps for some reason you moved.. or something..
Make sure that your character is in a walkable area..
Perhaps if you give us some detail of your steps maybe we could help you

Go to the General settings pane and make sure that "Don't automatically move character in walk mode" is unchecked.

Okay I imported the room drew the walkable areas, put the character on the area tested, he moved I made a inventory GUI, still moved then made a status line with the four cursers and the text @OVERHOTSPOT@, then moved it to the bottom of the screen and that's when he didn't move.

Is it a popup gui?
It seems to me that one of your GUIs is pausing the game.
Try to turn GUIs off and see if character walks.

Um... So, you have a GUI as high as the screen (in relative size; 200 or 240) where you have the text label in the bottom? If so, uncheck the "Clickable" box in the GUI editor for that, or move the label back up, set the GUI height to the same as the labels and set the GUI's Y co-ordinate to the relative screen height minus the GUI's height.

Okay I got him to move I just unchecked the clickable and moved it a bit more up and made sure it wasn't a popup modal and it works :) Thanks for all your help
