Title: Moving characters without input
Post by: on Thu 03/06/2004 23:29:05
 ???
How do I make a character move without Mouse input? I want to make an introductory cut-scene, with the player character walking across the screen, and also possibly when the Player character enters certain rooms, he may walk to a certain spot or comment on something in the room.
Also when doing the introductory Title scene and closing credits, do I have to make the Titles and the credits as a character model also? Or is there a simpler way to do this?

1. Use the MoveCharacter commands. Check the manual for which ones are best for what you want - probably Blocking and Path.

2. You could do the credits as a series of Display() commands, as graphical or text overlays, or you could use the agsCredits plug in. See this thread http://www.agsforums.com/yabb/index.php?topic=4286.msg51557#msg51557 for newest version.

If you are talking about a non-interactive cutscene, read the Beginners' Tutorials in the sticky thread in this forum.
