MI 3 Gui: Is it possible?

[Paper Carnival]

Greetings,

I am a new AGS user and I've found this cool engine almost accidently. I was going to create my game with harder tools which would take too much time. I was lucky to find this great tool for doing exactly what I want to do.

My game is still in design progress, but I won't show anything yet unless I have something cool to show. I just want to ask some n00b questions:
a) Is it possible to make a Gui exactly like the one in Monkey Island?
b) Is it possible to make a Gui on and not interrupt (pause) the game? If so, how?

I am not *that* n00b, ya c I managed to do some cool stuff by messing around. I managed for example to make a custom inventory appear/disappear with the right click, but what I don't know (and I guess it is something very advanced) is how to bring up a small GUI when I click an object/character/hotspot/item with all the possible interactions (Use, Examine, Talk and maybe more) and then when I click that interaction it does it on the object. I hope you understand what I mean. If you don't, then I mean something like the GUI of Monkey Island 3 or the GUI of Gabriel Knight 3 (only in 2d mode).

I don't want you to write for me a whole tutorial (unless that tutorial already exists) on how to make that, I just want to know some useful tips or something like that, or at least tell me if it is possible at all.

Thank you,
Guybrush Peep... errrr... Threepwood

Welcome to the boards.  This is fairly a common question, so be sure to check around the boards, by browsing or using the search page, please.

The link above will bring you to a fairly common and great verb coin interface.  Hope you get what you want, and that you bring great things to our boards.

Thank you very much. I'll check it out.

Well, I know I must search before I post. Infact, I did try out that Q&A site in that other post and the search feature, but I guess I didn't put the right words in. I asked something like "MI 3 Gui" with different formats.

Ok, I'm sorry. I won't do it again

Thanks again,
