Can you make a First-person game?

[~>confused<~]

Is it possible with AGS to create a first person shooter, or other type game?

[RickJ]

Yes.  Keep in mind that AGS is optimised for adventure type games and the more you deviate from that genre the more scripting you will need to do.

[~>confused<~]

How would you create one of those games?

[RickJ]

• Learn how to write AGS Script language programs.
  
  
• Do a requirements analysis of the game you wish to make an enumerate the kinds of game elements that will be needed.
  
  
• Experiment to see if all of the elements of your game can be implemented in AGS and to learn how to do it.
  
  
• Design the game
  
  
• Implement the game
  
  
• Test the game
  
  
• Publish the game

that answers almost all of my questions. The last one is: how would you create a first person shooter game?

[Ashen]

Depends how complicated you want it - AGS might not be the best engine for a FPS, but it can kind of be done.
Here is Ponch's shooter code, and here is an example of how it looks. A Forum search for 'shooter' or 'shooting game' should turn up a few other ideas, as well.

EDIT: And This thread has a brief discussion on AGS shooter pros and cons.

For this kind of game, mouse as well as object script function will offer a great help

Bottom line: AGS is not the best program to make first-person shooters. ONLY if you have advancecd knowledge of AGS scripting can you even BEGIN to think about making FPS's with AGS. I would suggest Googling some other engines for this. AGS stands for Adventure Game Studio, after all, and is geared toward that type of game.
