Intro Scripting Problems

[ZZjZmoz]

I tried using the code I made below to animate the intro, using 5 background images, 3 hotspots (new/load/quit), and a character, the evil villain. This is how it goes:

1. It starts with a background with a red circle, then animates to display the title (Frames 1-3), then the evil villain moves to the left from the right, than stops in the circle, kind of like the James Bond bullet barrel intro in every movie.

2. Then, I display the next frame (4) showing his name and he says "that's me."

3. Then, it goes to frame 5, which has the New/Load/Quit buttons and I reactivate the hotspots.

4. Next, the villain will tell you to make a choice and Auto-Quit if you don't make a choice within 20 sec. At the end of 20 sec., the game auto-quits. Otherwise, the next action performed is the one that will occur (New/Load/Quit).

5. Finally, depending on the chosen action, the Villain says something, then moves off screen and disappears.

However, when I test it, it acts as if the script had never existed and just runs the background frames 1-5 over and over. What should I do to fix this?

Please help!

I think that dont belong to the game_start... It belongs to the room interaction "Player enters screen (after fadein)"... and using those Wait's will make the game pause, so the mouse click wont perhaps be noticed by the game...
