Problem with talking , (im new here)

[PaladinOfHonor]

Hello  

First , I want to say that this game-creatore it the best I ever saw (for games such Monkey Island) and its realy fun to use it  

So to the subject ,

I red the title about the characters's speach in this site's FAQ , but I didnt unsderstand it (maybe because my bad english  ).

So I need an explenation on how to do the character speaking-like , I mean , to move his "mouth" , of course its just some pixels but its nice ^^

Thanks on the answers.

p.s.
I love this smilies !

You draw the animation frames in your favourite paint program, then import them to AGS in the sprite editor, make them a new view, and set the character's talking view the the view you just made.

Heh, this was a new one to me. Often ppl ask how to make characters...

Ohhhhhh !

Now I see it

I will try it ^^

I need to set up some number , its the number of the picture , right ?  :o

[Minimi]

no, it's the number of the view. If you want your character to talk, make a new view..and import just for every direction the animation of talking. Look at the list at the VIEW section, wich number of view you have... something like 2 , or 3... #1 is taken by the standard roger character.
fill in this number at the CHARACTERS, talking view for your character, and test it It's btw only working with speech, not with messages.. if you know the difference
