The very first time a player enters a room.(SOLVED).

[RetroJay]

Hi peeps.

Please help me I'm going mad.
First of all I am using AGS 2.72.

I am begining to panic cos I feel that something is going wrong!

I am trying to make some things happen the very first time you enter a room. (I do not want them to happen again).
All I want is for the character to enter the room, walk to a specific point, face a direction and say something. Sounds simple doesn't it.
However if I open up the "Player enters room for the first time" tab and run a script and type what I want i.e. "character[whatever].walk(?,?);"
and then "character[whatever].FaceLocation(?,?);" it doesn't work.
Although if I use the inbuilt comands within the editor everything works.
What the hell am I doing wrong?

Please help me.
Thanks.
Jay.

Hmmm is the walk blocking?
I'm not sure but if there're other actions followed by it they may cancel the walk if it's not set to blocking.

Try adding a Display("hi!"); or something line to the script and check whether the event is really triggered.

Hi Gilbot.

Oh boy do I feel stupid.
Of course you were correct it was the blocking that was the problem.
It all works now wonderfully.

I really do not know what the hell I was doing last night. The amount of times I have used the "First time player enters room"
yet last night I just couldn't seem to get my head around the prob so eventually gave up.
Today however I read your reply, loaded AGS up and my game, and BINGO! sorted it with no sweat or tears.
I think my brain may have encountered a "Fatal Exception Error".

Anyway thank you very much.

Jay.
