Changing character view problem

[Deax Strife]

My EGO character has view 5 and speech view 4, but i wanted his view to change to view 7.

So i went to the interaction editor and placed:

Use inventory on hotspot
Conditional - If the player has an inventory item - Inventory item number: 4
Character - Change character view (EGO, 7)

It seems to work just fine. He walks like view 7, but the problem comes when he talks to an npc. Then the speech view reverts back to speech view 4.

How do i change the speech view as well. There aren't any actions in the Interaction Editor which says:
Character - Change character speech view.

Please helpÃ,  :'(

About the only way I see of doing it would be to use the script, so:

• Add a Run Script event to the list of interactions.
  
• Edit the script, and then type the appropriate code for your version of AGS:
  
  

  Code: ags

  // AGS VERSIONS 2.7 AND LATER
  cEgo.SpeechView = 7;
  
  // AGS VERSIONS 2.62 AND EARLIER
  SetCharacterSpeechView(EGO, 7);

  
  
  That will set the speech view for the character to view 7.

Is there some sort of other command to change the speech views of NPCs? Because I can only get the above to work with the player character. I'm trying to change the talking view of one of my NPCs and for some reason have hit a brick wall.

This is what I've tried so far. In the interaction editor, at the point I want to make the change,  I choose a 'Run Script' command and then:

character[SCHUMAN].SpeechView = 27;

Which didn't work, so I tried:

cSchuman.SpeechView = 27;

And it ignores both of them. I don't get any error messages, it just continues to use the regular speech view.
Rather than start a new thread, I thought I'd add to this one. Can anyone help?

try to use a display commandÃ,  after you putÃ,  cSchuman.SpeechView = 27
and look if the character change his talkview, like this:

Code: ags

cSchuman.SpeechView = 27;
cSchuman.Say("Trying....");

I think the SpeechView property must be set in the beginning of the script of the room, perhaps you should use variables to set this in  the room script

Tried the above, still nothing. It doesn't display the message you suggested, so it's as if it's just ignoring the order to run script. How odd. It's baffling because I've done this several times with my main character (ego) and not had any problems at all. Any further suggestions?

No, and no.

Duckbutcher:
Could it be that you are by mistake confusing two of your characters? If not, and the RunScript-action isn't run at all, where exactly did you put it?
And you could use Display("Trying...");, so the message will be shown independantly from what's on the screen.
