Hello, I am tinkering with AGS again after a few years. I was wanting to make a Verbcoin system with a few special actions, not just the default "Look, talk, Pickup, Interact". I specifically wanted to use a "Sniff" action, and have created a simple nose icon in which I want to use in the Verbcoin. In the room hotspots, I used Usermode 1 to act as a Sniff command (From what I read, the usermodes are how you utilize unique actions, but please correct me if I am wrong.) with the room code being:
function hGlowingOrb_Sniff()
{
player.Say("It has a sort of burnt smell to it.");
}
I could not find much documentation regarding Verbcoin GUI in the manual, and even less for the Usermodes. What do I need to do to add my custom Sniff graphic to the Verbcoin? Is Usermodes even the correct way to add custom actions like what I'm wanting? Where in the scripts is the Verbcoin handling so I can modify it?
Thank you so much for your time!
Unfortunately, while that template does have some options, adding a 5th verb isn't one of them.
I was rewriting it for somebody else who wanted six buttons, and it was a lot of work, since it is hard-coded for four buttons almost everywhere in its script.

Ah ok. Thank you for your input! Would the Sierra style template be better for implementing more actions like what I'm wanting?
Yes, it's much easier to add additional actions. You already have a pick up mode and the two user modes directly supported by the event system.
