One-Click Interface (as seen in 7 days a Skeptic)

[Blane]

I'm interested in having a one click interface in my game, as in, you click the object and the options/inventory items pop up in a window. An example of this can be seen in Yahtzee's 7 Days a Skeptic game. Does anyone know how to achieve this?

Thanks.

OnAnyClick, or something like that  (under interactions for characters, objects, hotspots).

Unless you mean how to achieve this in terms of game play, in which case it's all about very careful puzzle design.

Try searching the forums for 'verbcoin' - it might not be exactly what you want, but close enough to use as a starting point. There should be several modules and templates available.

I thought about making a GUI similar to '6 days a sacrifice' (I can't remember 7 days a skeptic but it seems to be the same) for my next bigger game, but I haven't finished the GUI yet.

In on_mouse_click, use GetLocationType, and if something was clicked, open the inventory window. Then, eMouseRightInv triggers looking at the item, eMouseLeftInv invokes the action. If the inv item was the eye/hand, call inventory.[game.inv_actived].RunInteraction(eModeLookat/eModeInteract), otherwise eModeUseinv.

Thanks, where do I set these? Do I have to set this for every object, or is there a universal Mouse Script I can use?

Sorry, newbie

You have to change the function called on_mouse_click in the GlobalScript.
I'd post code but it's 2:14 AM here and I'm off to bed.

Do you think this would work:

Have right click open the inventory, and have objects in the inventory for an eye, hand, mouth, etc, and when used, just do the same thing as the command.

That should do what I want, right?

It was asked by bicilotti on the forums some time ago. And I've posted it almost a year back on that blog thing.
