Title: Object won't move SOLVED
Post by: royals10 on Mon 08/05/2006 01:03:31
Hi, I'm new to ags, but I've read all the tutorials and beginner FAQ etc. However, I'm stuck on this seemingly simple thing. When my character interacts with a hotspot (a tree) he goes over and shakes it. After that an acorn (visible object) is supposed to fall out of the tree, so I put Interact Hotspot, move character, quick animation, yata yata, and then I put object, move object with the specific coordinates with speed set to 3. The problem is that when I interact the tree the acorn wont fall. I tried putting in the exact script command, but then the "watch" icon kept running after I shook the tree like it was waiting for the acorn to fall, but it still wont move.

This is probably just a simple thing that I'm overlooking, but any help is appreciated. ThanksÃ,

Have you got a walkable area for the acorn to 'fall' along? Unless you use scripting and the eAnywhere (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/manual/Object.Move.htm) parameter, you need a walkable area for the object to move.
Also, it sounds like you're using the 'Wait for move to finish' / eBlock option - since the acorn can't move, that's why it freezes in Wait mode (the 'watch' cursor).

Thank you so much, yes this was my problem. I added eAnywhere to the script and it works now.

Thanks again!  :)
