hey, i want to make an intro of the name of my game going across the screen, with nothing else going on, but i don't know how to make a tital screen, u know, like start, load, or continue. any help would be greatly appreciated.
I do like this: I draw a background with All those buttons (New game, Load game etc etc) Then I make a room called intro and import the background into it. For every button I make a hotspot and run script as interaction (Atleast on save and load. On New game you can just change to the first room.) On quit you take run script, too. Write quitgame(0) or something like that in the script. As for load and save, I dont know. Ask others for that. Done! You have a brand-new title screen but without load or save.
If you have windows XP it comes with movie maker and that makes a nice intro .

It's SaveGameDialog(); and RestoreGameDialog(); for save and load. You can use MoveObjectDirect to move an object with the title accross the screen.
And it is QuitGame(1); for the quit; AGS is case-sensitive, and I suggest prompting the exit in case the user accidentaly clicks on quit.
Also, for the scrolling game name, you can use the Scrolling Credits plugin, but you'll have to do some scripting with that one. Or you can create an image file of the game title and import it into your SPrite Manager, then animate it in-game.
