Hi!
I tried to search the forums for this as well as the manual, but nothing came up, so I'll post it here:
I'm making a game with the Verb 9 (LA-template). Is it possible to receive different answers when you "Look-At" something?
E.g. when you use Look-At on a tree the first time your character will say "Text1" and the next time you Look-At the tree, the character will say "Text2".
Also, a minor problem I have is to delay my character's change of direction when he looks at something. I wanted him to be confused, so he would look right, then left, then right again. However, if I use the "player.FaceDirection(eDir_x);" command, he'll do it so quickly. I want him to stop up for a second and just look at that direction before changing. This is my code:
function hPath1_AnyClick()
{
if(UsedAction(eGA_LookAt)) {
Game.TextReadingSpeed = 7;
player.FaceDirection(eDir_Right);
player.Say("Is that a path...");
player.FaceDirection(eDir_Left);
player.Say("Or is that...?");
player.FaceDirection(eDir_Right);
player.FaceDirection(eDir_Left);
player.FaceDirection(eDir_Down);
player.Say("I'm confused!");
}
else Unhandled();
}
I've read that you can use the Animation and LockView, but those didn't really work because I couldn't set a delay timer on them. Any thoughts?
Thanks!
if you want him to stop for a second just add
Wait(40);
waits for 40 loops which is around 1 second.

Ah yes, that worked perfectly!
How come I've never seen that before? Oh well, worked wonders! Thank you very much :)
As for your first question, just add a counter...
something like:
Look_Counter = 0;
function hPath1_AnyClick()
{
if(UsedAction(eGA_LookAt)) {
if (Look_Counter == 0) {
Game.TextReadingSpeed = 7;
player.FaceDirection(eDir_Right);
player.Say("Is that a path...");
player.FaceDirection(eDir_Left);
player.Say("Or is that...?");
player.FaceDirection(eDir_Right);
player.FaceDirection(eDir_Left);
player.FaceDirection(eDir_Down);
player.Say("I'm confused!");
Look_Counter = ++;
}
else if (Look_Counter == 1) {
// do something else
// add more to counter if you wish more than 2 replies...
}
}
else Unhandled();
}

Hi! Thanks for the reply.
However, I'm just receiving this error: "Parse error: unexpected 'Look_Counter'"
What should I make of that? EDIT:
Nevermind, I figured it out!
I had to use the int counter before the command, like so:
int Look_Counter = 0;Thank you for the help! :)
If you've not done so - you need to define look_counter as an integer.
int look_counter = 0;
EDIT: Doh, just as I thought I had finally helped someone ;)

Haha, sorry! I was starting at the tutorial manual and noticed they used the integer before their counters. So I figured, maybe that's what I have to do. But thank you anyway, much appreciated! ;-D
Good you figured it out. :-D
I'm still novice and I mostly use bool in my scripts so far. So forgot about the int... (laugh) No wait, stratch that... I didn't forgot, I wanted you to find it out for your self... ;)(roll)
