I try to use SetCursorMode(6); to set the cursor mode 6 but it stays at 0!
EDIT: I was probably so angry I forgot about elling you guys what I was tying to do!
What I was trying to do:
For some GUIs I want it to be the pointer cursor but for some strange reason it was the walk cursor. That is all I can say, unless you want the script or the GUIs I want to have the pointer icon on:

This script may be familiar to some of you:
Code: ags

CentreGUI(3);
Ã,  if (interface == 3){
Ã,  Ã,  if (button == 8) SetGameSpeed(GetSliderValue(3,8));
Ã,  Ã,  else if (button == 9) SetMusicMasterVolume(GetSliderValue(3,9));
Ã,  Ã,  else if (button == 10) game.text_speed = GetSliderValue(3,10);
Ã,  Ã,  else {
Ã,  Ã,  if (button == 0) SaveGameDialog();
Ã,  Ã,  if (button == 1) RestoreGameDialog();
Ã,  Ã,  if (button == 2) GUIOn(4);
Ã,  Ã,  if (button == 3){
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  SetCursorMode(6);
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  RestartGame();
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  }
Ã,  Ã,  if (button == 4) 
Ã,  Ã,  Display("The Adventures of Bob I [[Made with Adventure Game Studio v2 run-time engine[[Copyright (c) 1999-2004 Chris Jones");
Ã,  Ã,  }
Ã,  if (button == 11){
Ã,  Ã,  InterfaceOff (3);
Ã,  Ã,  InterfaceOn (ICONBAR);
Ã,  Ã,  SetCursorMode (1);
Ã,  Ã,  }
Ã,  }

The other GUI:
Code: ags

if (interface == 4)
Ã,  SetCursorMode(6);
Ã,  SetMouseCursor(6);
Ã,  DisableCursorMode(0);
Ã,  DisableCursorMode(1);
Ã,  DisableCursorMode(2);
Ã,  DisableCursorMode(3);
Ã,  DisableCursorMode(5);
Ã,  {
Ã,  if (button == 0)
Ã,  QuitGame(0);
Ã,  else if (button == 1)
Ã,  GUIOff(4);
Ã,  EnableCursorMode(0);
Ã,  EnableCursorMode(1);
Ã,  EnableCursorMode(2);
Ã,  EnableCursorMode(3);
Ã,  EnableCursorMode(5);
Ã,  SetCursorMode(0);
Ã,  }

Hey, just to let you know, I modified my the first post of this topic!

Your code is currently in "interface_click" - which means it is only run when the GUI is actually clicked on.
You want to put that code in the repeatedly_execute. And I modified it here so it will work:

Code: ags
if (GetGUIAt(mouse.x,mouse.y) == 4) SetMouseCursor(6);
 else SetDefaultCursor();

Put that in the repeatedly_execute.

And remove the following lines from the interface_click:
Code: ags

  SetCursorMode(6);
  SetMouseCursor(6);
  DisableCursorMode(0);
  DisableCursorMode(1);
  DisableCursorMode(2);
  DisableCursorMode(3);
  DisableCursorMode(5);

Those lines above are messing up your brackets.

I'm not an expert on this either, but I'm pretty sure it should work.

I don't get it, how is it in interface_click?

Parse error: unexpected "if"

The parse error: Check that the line above it ends in a semicolon.

As far as why it was in interface_click, AGS automatically puts it there when you go to edit your gui code.

It ends in a semicolon but it mentioned "if"

Change that code to:
Code: ags

if (GetGUIAt(mouse.x,mouse.y) == 4) SetMouseCursor(6);
else if (GetGUIAt(mouse.x,mouse.y) ==3) SetMouseCursor(6);
else SetDefaultCursor();


If you still get the error, post the code before and after the "if" statement as well.

There is a text scripting tutorial in the AGS help file. It's dated, but maybe it'll give you a few tips. I've spotted a few easy mistakes that you made, and it'll probably frustrate you if you have to keep coming back to the forum.

Anyway, post your entire repeatedly_execute so I can see why you're getting the error.

the reason he got that error was because he had and If statement, and if that wasn't satisfied it was doing 2 else statements and an else if. Which is stupid

Code: ags

function repeatedly_execute() {
Ã,  // LEC Statusline
string bunky;string texty; int cursy;
StrCopy (texty, "");Ã,  cursy=GetCursorMode();Ã,  
if (cursy==0){Ã,  Ã,  StrCat(texty,"Walk to ");}Ã,  
else if (cursy==1) {Ã,  Ã,  StrCat (texty,"Look at ");}Ã,  
else if (cursy==2) {Ã,  Ã,  StrCat(texty,"Use ");}Ã,  
else if (cursy==3) {Ã,  Ã,  StrCat(texty,"Talk to ");}Ã,  
else if (cursy==4) {Ã,  Ã,  StrCat(texty,"Use ");Ã,  Ã,

}
if (GetGUIAt(mouse.x,mouse.y) == 4) SetMouseCursor(6);
else if (GetGUIAt(mouse.x,mouse.y) ==3) SetMouseCursor(6);
else SetDefaultCursor();


EDIT: Ok, something is definately wrong cursor 6. In GUIs, Cursor 6 does not work at all!

You have to put the 'if (GetGUIAt(...))' part within the function's body:
Code: ags

function repeatedly_execute() {
	// LEC Statusline
	string bunky;
	string texty;
	int cursy;

	StrCopy (texty, "");
	cursy=GetCursorMode();

	if 	(cursy==0) StrCat(texty,"Walk to ");
	else if (cursy==1) StrCat (texty,"Look at ");
	else if (cursy==2) StrCat(texty,"Use ");
	else if (cursy==3) StrCat(texty,"Talk to ");
	else if (cursy==4) {
		StrCat(texty,"Use ");
		GetInvName (player.activeinv, bunky);
		StrCat(texty,bunky);
		StrCat(texty," with ");
	}
	else if (cursy==5) StrCat(texty, "Pick up ");
	else if (cursy==8) StrCat(texty, "Open ");

	GetLocationName(mouse.x,mouse.y,bunky);
	StrCat(texty,bunky);
	SetLabelText (0,0,texty);

	if (GetGUIAt(mouse.x,mouse.y) == 4) SetMouseCursor(6);
	else if (GetGUIAt(mouse.x,mouse.y) ==3) SetMouseCursor(6);
	else SetDefaultCursor();
}

Hmm, then it would only change to cursor 6 if your mouse moves over the GUI

In that case put the following code within the repeatedly_execute function:

if (IsGUIOn(3) || IsGUIOn(4)) SetMouseCursor(6);
else SetDefaultCursor();

Let's say I want the label to change to "  " (nothing) when GUI 3 and 4 are clicked. How do I do that?

Do you mean a click anywhere over a GUI, or only over GUI buttons?

Oh, wait, sorry i didn't give enough details. I wanted the status bar label to change to "   " (nothing) if GUI 3 or 4 were open.
