Changin order of cursor modes.

[Ubel]

I'm working on a MAGS game and I want to have these different cursor modes in it: walk, look, use, take, talk. I know how to make new cursor modes and how to use them. But if I make a new one, it will appear after the use inventory mode. So when I right click my mouse, the cursor modes come like this: walk-look-use-talk-active inventory item-take. I want to change the place of take mode before the active item. I remember Darth Mandarbs "A Friend Indeed" had same kind of problem and it was pretty annoying.

I hope you understand what I mean.

You could replace
  SetNextCursorMode();
with

Code: ags

  if (GetCursorMode() == 2) // if in interact mode
    SetCursorMode(5); // switch to pick up mode
  else if (GetCursorMode() == 5) // if in pick up mode
    SetCursorMode(3); // switch to talk mode
  else if (GetCursorMode() == 3) // if in talk mode
    SetCursorMode(0); // switch to walk mode
  else SetNextCursorMode();

for example.
Remember to check "Standard cursor mode" for the pick up cursor.

Thanks for replying.

That could work but now it's not switching to use_inv mode with the right mouse button at all.

I thought you didn't want that:

walk, look, use, take, talk

Do you mean use=use inv?
Or should the use inv mode be after the talk mode?

If so, just change

Code: ags

  else if (GetCursorMode() == 3) // if in talk mode
    SetCursorMode(0); // switch to walk mode

to

Code: ags

  else if (GetCursorMode() == 4) // if in use inv mode
    SetCursorMode(0); // switch to walk mode

Yes, thats what I meant. Thank you for your help. And sorry if the first post wasn't very clear.

EDIT: Wait a minute. That didn't work as it was supposed to. If I have chosen an inventory item, the cycle goes like this: Walk, look, use, take, talk, active inventory. That is correct. But if I haven't chosen an item, it goes like this: Walk, look, use, take, talk, take, talk, take, talk...etc. What should I do?

Ah, right, of course the use inv mode is disabled when no inventory item is active, so (using AGS v2.7 code):

Code: ags

  if (mouse.Mode == 2) // if in interact mode
    mouse.Mode = 5; // switch to pick up mode
  else if (mouse.Mode == 5) // if in pick up mode
    mouse.Mode = 3; // switch to talk mode
  else if ((mouse.Mode == 3) && (player.ActiveInventory == null)) // if in talk mode and no inv item is active
    mouse.Mode = 0; // switch to walk mode
  }
  else if (mouse.Mode == 4) { // if in use inv mode
    mouse.Mode = 0; // switch to walk mode
  }
  else mouse.SelectNextMode();

You can replace the numbers with the enums generated by your cursor mode names to make it more readable.

Now it works! Thank you (again)! And sorry for taking your time this much.

No worries, I'm always happy to help.
