Hi, I'm just starting to make my own game, but I have used AGS a few days now.
I've learned to use it by following the tutorial. On using inventory I have a problem, that I think is not described in the tutorial. The tutorial says that you can look items (In the default, Sierra-type inventory) by clicking the looking glass and then clicking the item. So, I made an item which the character has in the start. From the Inventory - Items - "item" (whatever the item is)
Then interactions. I choose action "Display message", which should display a GLOBAL message number 500, which is definitively the text I want. But in the game, when I got to the inventory and press look button and click the item, it doesn't display the message. I tried to add other action, "play sound", the same sound there is when I gain points in the game. So, now when I look the item in the inventory, I should hear a sound. but even that did not work. The sound's fine, It worked when I gained points. So, the problem is, that the look button in the inventory isn't doing anything, except changing the cursor to the eye.
Sorry. I solved the problem most easily...You can now remove this thread.
For people having the same problem and looking for answers, can you please tell us what the problem was exactly and how you solved it?
The problem was that I had checked the part "Handle inventory clicks in a script" from General Settings. Unchecking it solved the problem. :)
