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.
Stay away from my girlfriend. ;)
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,

But your girlfriends a fox dude. You can't expect us to resist for long...
Squinky: Thanks! Where shall I send you my *special* pictures?

Yikes! I can tell you I didn't expect that to happen....
