Title: Is the verbcoin template broken?
Post by: arvejeitor on Fri 13/05/2016 12:59:40

Hi, I started to make a new game using the VerbCoin Template.
I created a new room, set a walkable area and put the main character on it...
But when I run the game, it doesn't walk wherever I clic.

Am i missing something or is the template broken? If I do the same thing with other templates it works fine.

It took me some time to find the error, but you are completely correct; the code is indeed broken.
The problem is that the click is processed in repeatedly_execute, and the click handling is surrounded by

Code Select

if (Mouse.IsButtonDown(getMouseButtonLeft(false)) == 0) which means you have to click for 1/100th of a second to actually trigger walking. Any longer than that, and the mouse button is still down, which skips the ProcessClick command.

I have no idea how this made it through testing; I guess it means nobody actually uses the template.
A quick fix is to open the Scumm VerbCoin GUI script, go to line 1199 and change it to:

Code Select

while (Mouse.IsButtonDown(getMouseButtonLeft(false))) Wait(1);This will hide the mouse though, while you hold down the button.
