Title: Keeping sierra style template, yet removing some of the actions…
Post by: Barn Owl on Mon 19/05/2025 23:54:17
Hi all,

So, I like the Sierra style template. Yet I'm noticing that, in my game, talk could be combined with interact. And I'm playing around with removing walk and instead making movement hotspot based.

I've scoured the global script, I cannot find where the right click cycle is located.

Can anyone advise me on where I can find that part of the script to try making those edits?

Big thanks as always!

Right click cycle is done in "handle_room_click" within the Sierra template, but it's done using standard function "Mouse.SelectNextMode", which automatically switches to the next enabled mode.

What you should do instead is disable all modes that you don't need. Open each unnecessary cursors in the editor and set "StandardMode" to False.

To quote the great Old Gregg, "You've made me very happy. Gonna crack open a fresh Bailey's."

I think I now have all the necessary knowledge to complete the first installment of my game. Although I'm sure I'll be back with more questions soon enough.

Thank you Crimson Wizard, you're one of the greats!
