int not working

[Gepard]

Well. I was trying to make this work, but its hopeless  . When I click on the hotspot it always give back just the first sentence: "Its a cactus." It doesnt go any further in the script. I started this as an empty game, is that the reason why?

// room script file
    int cactus;

#sectionstart hotspot1_a  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE
function hotspot1_a() {
  // script for Hotspot 1 (cactus): Look at hotspot

if (cactus == 0) {
    character[RILE].Think("Its a cactus.");
  }
  if (cactus == 1) {
    character[RILE].Think("SOMETHING.");
    character[RILE].Think("SOMETHING.");
  }
  if (cactus == 2) {
    character[RILE].Think("SOMETHING.");
    character[RILE].Think("SOMETHING!");
  }
}

That's because cactus is never changed. When you want it to move to the next value of catus you should add one to it. Your code would look like this:

if (cactus == 0) {
Ã,  Ã,  character[RILE].Think("Its a cactus.");
Ã,  Ã,  cactus++;
Ã,  }
else if (cactus == 1) {
Ã,  Ã,  character[RILE].Think("SOMETHING.");
Ã,  Ã,  character[RILE].Think("SOMETHING.");
Ã,  Ã,  cactus++;
Ã,  }
else if (cactus == 2) {
Ã,  Ã,  character[RILE].Think("SOMETHING.");
Ã,  Ã,  character[RILE].Think("SOMETHING!");
Ã,  Ã,  cactus++;
Ã,  }
}

Or you could just put cactus++ at the end, after the whole if/else section, so it's incremented once every time the hotspot is looked at, whatever happens.

thanks a lot!

If there are going to be a lot of situations like this in your game, you might wanna take a look at the MultiResponse module.
