need set caracter view with hotspot

dikla · Wed 19/05/2004 19:01:54

i have a problem. this is because we dont have "open" command. any way, i have a cluset with 5 things it it. i want to open the claouset and take the items to the inventory. i thaugt (worngly) that i will set a close clouset and in the interaction put "set carchter view" of new character (open clouset with items drown) so of coure i created two carachters (close clouset and open closet with the items drown it it and thought that i could make them hotspots. but when i tested it i saw that i CAN NOT DO HOTSPOT because it drown in the character views (of open clouset with items in it). of caurse i forgot that if i set new character view i can see it only if i play.
so this is the problem. how can i make her open the clouset and see in it the 5 items and take them to the invnentory and use them later as inventory items.
any ideas?
i hope i am understood.

Erm... Ok I've tried to translate and I think what you basically need is a new object ontop of the closed cupboard hotspod which is an image of the open doors. Then new objects for the items inside. (Lets say these are objects 1-6) Set them all to be not visable at start.

Then when player interacts with the cuboard just use interactions to turn all those objects on. (I don't see what you were trying to do with character views) Then when the player interacts with the items have it so that they turn off and get added to the inventory.

Is this what you were after? I may have misunderstood your problem.

what i want is: the player touches the cupboad and "you open the capboard" and then i "set character view" to an open cupbord. (a new image of open cupboard is apperaing with the items in it. this is what i want. close cupbourd when she "open" it she will see in it all the items that she can get.
i want her to see a view of open clouset AFTER SHE OPENED IT (thats why i created new carcacter view so a cupboad will apear open).

You dont use character views to change the appearence of a hotspot?

it is not hotspot. than what my problem was.
1. i set a charcter of close cupboard.
2. i set a charcter of open cupboard.
3. when the player touch it it turnded to open cupbord with item drawn on it.
4. i thouth that i can make the drown sprites to hotspot but painting them but i forgot that it is not in the room but just appear AFTER the game is looaded.
this is my problem.
now i am trying to guess where to drow the hotspot on the supposley stand tha cupboad. it is very hard. so may be if you have another idea how to make close cupboadr to open one and interact with items in it?
any ideas?
