Hey i got this error when trying to look at a poster in my game. When you look at it was supposed to show a message. I lloked in the hepl files and FAQ but couldn't find it:(
The error read as below:
An error has occured. Please contact the game author for support, as this probelm is casued by the game insted of the interpreter.
(ACI version 2.60.693)
(Global script line 50)
Error:DisplayMessage: Invalid message number.
now i followed the tutorial word for word, in the section under "hotspots and intereactions" yet still ogt this error.
Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Gandhi
Keep in mind that if it's the only message you're trying to access it'll be message 0 (not 1) in the list!
You could just make the 'Player Looks at Hotspot' action a 'Run Script' and then put (in the script):
Display("You look at the poster of so-and-so")
(or whatever you actually want it to say)
That should work too.

Have you typed in:
DisplayMessage("It's a poster...");
?
Because the parameter DisplayMessage takes is an integer, it takes a number, which is either a room message (message numbers 1-499, I think), which you can edit in the room's messages editor, pressing the "abc" button in the room settings, or a global message (numbers 500-999), which can be edited at the global messages pane of the main AGS editor.
Use the Display(); command DM mentioned to display text without using the global/room messages.
