Walking to object before picking it up?

[Gribbler]

Hi

I have a problem. When I put object in a room and get the player to pick it up object is removed from room no matter where the character is standing. I want him to first go to the object and THEN pick it up (maybe add bending animation too). So here's the question: how can I do it?
I tried various scripts. None worked.

thanks in advance for any help

I'm not exactly sure what you mean. Should I use hotspot for that? I know there is 'walk point' but its for hotspots not for objects.

Sorry about that.
Let me see if I can find it.

Aside from this question having been asked here about a million times already, there are various ways.
If you want to simply code it every time, use something like this:

player.Walk(x, y, eBlock);
player.LockView(VIEW); // change this to the pick up-view 
player.Animate(...); // play pick up-animation, make sure it's blocking
oItem.Visible=false; // turn off object
player.AddInventory(iItem);
player.UnlockView();

Alternatively, you could use a custom function:

function WalkPickUp(int x, int y, int dir, int obj, InventoryItem*inv) {
Ã,  player.Walk(x, y, eBlock);
Ã,  player.LockView(VIEW); // change this to the pick up-view 
Ã,  player.Animate(...dir...); // play pick up-animation, make sure it's blocking
Ã,  object[obj].Visible=false; // turn off object
Ã,  player.AddInventory(inv);
Ã,  player.UnlockView();
}

You could use Custom Properties to store the walk-to coords for objects.

Ã,  player.Walk(object[obj].GetProperty("x"), object[obj].GetProperty("y"), eBlock);
