Intro and gui script problems

mousemat · Mon 30/08/2004 08:30:58

i have this intro script but every time i save it and test the game it says
parse error unexpected display message does anyone know how to fix this

DisplayMesssage("Whats that noise");
Playmusic(1);
DisplayMessage("There it was again");
DisplayMessage ("Woooooooooo");
FadeOut(20);
Wait(10);
ObjectOn(1);
FadeIn(20);
Wait(30);
NewRoomEx(1, 0, 0);

You most likely got the script in the wrong place... where did you put it?

And I'd fix the line:

DisplayMessage ("Woooooooooo"

It seems to be missing the end...

i put it in room interactions for the intro room.

Ishmael · Mon 30/08/2004 08:48:20

By any chance, could you post the whole room script?

mousemat · Mon 30/08/2004 08:55:11

this is the whole room script $:-\$

Ishmael · Mon 30/08/2004 08:57:04

In that case you go the whole thing wrong... you should go to the Room Interactions -> Player enters screen (after fadein) -> run script -> edit script and enter that there...

And scummy, what was wrong with my post? I reckon I typoed something, but what to need that fixin? ----- EDIT: oh, "hole"? heh.........

you wrote 'change' not 'chance' and then i added the comma... i dunno, i just got off a 10 hour shift, and for some reason, i decided to tidy up this thread, and only this thread. dont mind me. :

thanks ishmael i thought something wrong but it still dosent solve my problem

Mr Jake · Mon 30/08/2004 09:05:27

Make sure you put it in After fadeing, not Before

mousemat · Mon 30/08/2004 09:11:41

now it says undifined token "DisplayMessage"

dreammaster · Mon 30/08/2004 09:32:53

This may not answer your question, but as far as I'm aware, DisplayMessage only accepts a mesage number parameter, doesn't it? If you want to pass a string directly for display, don't you need to use the "Display" function?

Mr Jake · Mon 30/08/2004 09:42:16

erm, its because you have 'DisplayMesssage' not 'DisplayMessage' on the first line (just noticed when I copyed the script into AGS to try myself)

mousemat · Mon 30/08/2004 09:47:51

thanks hotspot its working now ..the only problem now is an unexpected { in my gui script (first line)

function interface_click(int interface, int button)
if (interface == ICONBAR) {
if (button == 4) { // show inventory
show_inventory_window();
}
else if (button == 5) { // use selected inventory
if (character[ GetPlayerCharacter() ].activeinv >= 0)
SetCursorMode(4);
}
else if (button == 6) // save game
SaveGameDialog();
else if (button == 7) // load game
RestoreGameDialog();
else if (button == 8) // quit
QuitGame(1);
else if (button == 9) // about
Display("Adventure Game Studio v2 run-time engine[[Copyright (c) 1999-2003 Chris Jones");
} // end if interface ICONBAR

if (interface == INVENTORY) {
// They clicked a button on the Inventory GUI

if (button == 1) {
// They pressed SELECT, so switch to the Get cursor
SetCursorMode (MODE_USE);
// But, override the appearance to look like the arrow
SetMouseCursor (6);
}

if (button == 2) {
// They pressed LOOK, so switch to that mode
SetActiveInventory(-1);
SetCursorMode(MODE_LOOK);
}
if (button == 3) {
// They pressed the OK button, close the GUI
GUIOff (INVENTORY);
SetDefaultCursor();
}

if ((button == 4) && (game.top_inv_item < game.num_inv_items - game.num_inv_displayed)) {
// scroll down
game.top_inv_item = game.top_inv_item + game.items_per_line;
}
if ((button == 5) && (game.top_inv_item > 0)){
// scroll up
game.top_inv_item = game.top_inv_item - game.items_per_line;
}
}
}

I think you need to put another '{' directly under (or at the end of) 'function interface_click(int interface, int button) '

mousemat · Mon 30/08/2004 09:53:40

if you mean like this then it dosnt work

function interface_click(int interface, int button)
{
if (interface == ICONBAR) {

mousemat · Mon 30/08/2004 09:56:02

aw....it has worked on another game i made though (apart from the inventory) do you think you could fix it up a bit.

Edit :were did your post go hotspot

Mr Jake · Mon 30/08/2004 09:57:25

erm, about that, MM didnt double post on purpose I removed my message as he was replying, I cant really test the script myself and fix it because I would need to make all the GUIs

mousemat · Mon 30/08/2004 09:59:01

i am so fed up with scripting...(by the way somone made this script and the guis for me)

mousemat · Mon 30/08/2004 14:56:24

ok new problem ...when i open the inventory screen displays an error it says 1 or more of the inventory grafix may have been deleted
here is my script

if (interface == ICONBAR) {
if (button == 4) { // show inventory
show_inventory_window();
}
else if (button == 5) { // use selected inventory
if (character[ GetPlayerCharacter() ].activeinv >= 0)
SetCursorMode(4);

Quote1 or more of the inventory grafix may have been deleted

Make sure that if you started from the "default" and the "empty" game, you only import your sprites over the old ones. Deleting those gave the same message the first time I started playing around with AGS (thus I started from an empty game).
