Title: right interaction order (not yet solved)

look down at my last two comments in this thread to see my problem...

Title: Re: Face location without coordinates?
Post by: Gilbert on Wed 30/01/2008 16:08:58

1. Just use something like:


cEgo.FaceLocation(cEgo.x+5, cEgo.y); //Face right
cEgo.FaceLocation(cEgo.x-5, cEgo.y); //Face left
cEgo.FaceLocation(cEgo.x, cEgo.y-5); //Face up
cEgo.FaceLocation(cEgo.x, cEgo.y+5); //Face down

If you still think it's annoying to write these 'coordinates', you can define functions like:

Code Select


function FaceRight(Character* ccc){
  ccc.FaceLocation(ccc.x+5, ccc.y);
}

2. Just... look for Character.FaceCharacter() and Character.FaceObject() from the manual...

edit: heh now that it's solved that makes me like an idiot. :=

Thanks anyway for I like your idea of defining that function. But I just got another problem.

Example: My character wants to open a door. This is supposed to happen (in that order):

1. He walks to the door
2. He looks at the door
3. He faces that character
4. who says "Sorry, you can't go in there."

If I do that in the door's hotspot interaction-section the order is wrong. First the person says the sentence and THEN he looks at that door and the person. If I use the wait function the game pauses after these actions.
So what do I have to do to keep the actions in the right order?

Ok the first interaction is that script:

Code Select


character[EGO].FaceLocation(character[EGO].y - 50, character[EGO].x);
Wait(40);
cEgo.FaceCharacter(cAnna);  
Wait(40);

The second is the message by that person to the left.

But it's the other way around..
