Just wondering how I would go about making a character move to another character or object in an unhandled event. I know this automatically done with hotspots as it is an option in General Settings. But for objects and characters it is a different matter all together. So how would I go about it? Here is my unhandled_event code.
function unhandled_event (int what, int type) {
if (what == 1) {
if (type == 1) cEgo.Think ("I can't see anything of importance.");
if (type == 2) cEgo.Think ("There isn't anything I can actually do here.");
if (type == 3) cEgo.Think ("Logically this isn't going to work.");
if (type == 4) cEgo.Think ("I know I'm lonely, but I have no urge to talk at this time.");
if (type == 7) cEgo.Think ("I have no need for this.");
}
if (what == 2) {
if (type == 1) cEgo.Think ("I don't see any point in doing the following action.");
if (type == 2) cEgo.Think ("I have no need to talk to inanimate objects.");
if (type == 3) cEgo.Think ("Logically this isn't going to work.");
if (type == 5) cEgo.Think ("I have no need for this.");
}
if (what == 3) {
if (type == 1) cEgo.Think ("I think I'll ignore them this time round.");
if (type == 2) cEgo.Think ("Not a good idea.");
if (type == 3) cEgo.Think ("I have more use for this item, and I don't have an urge to give it to them.");
if (type == 5) cEgo.Think ("Really I don't think it's a good idea.");
}
if (what == 5) {
if (type == 2) cEgo.Think ("I have no need to talk to inanimate objects.");
if (type == 3) cEgo.Think ("Logically this isn't going to work.");
}
}
No one has any ideas?
Well, I guess that unhandled even can be caused by mouse-clicking on something?
In which case you can do standart GetAtScreenXY for Hotspot, Object and Character.

Thanks Crimson, but the curious part how would I differentiate between those three scenarios.
Would you give me an example of the line of code?
Well the what tells you what was clicked on so you could for example do:
Object *oat = Object.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y);
if (oat == null) return; // shouldn't happen unless you're manually calling unhandled_event
// otherwise feel free to use oat such as:
player.Walk(oat.X, oat.Y + 10);
I'm guessing you would also add lines of code for Character and Hotspot also?
UPDATE: Played with your code and it works great :)
