[SOLVED] Having problem with event: "Use inventory on Character"

[beenf]

I want cVamp to start a different Dialog than he did when the door was closed.

I tried to figure how it works out myself, but failed
this is what I tried

Code: ags

function cVamp_Talk()
{
if object(0).Visible=true dVamp1.Start();
else if object(0).Visible=false dVamp.Start();

}

this is what I tried

Code: ags

function cVamp_Talk()
{
if object(0).Visible=true dVamp1.Start();
else if object(0).Visible=false dVamp.Start();
}

What are the error messages you got there? Not of any help?

- object is an array, its members are accessed with [], not ()
- comparisons are done with ==, a single = is only used to assign values
- conditions are enclosed in (), "if (object[0].Visible == true) dVamp1.Start();" ("== true" can be omitted here)

(all things you already did correct in the previous posts, why change it for the worse )

I get this: GlobalScript.asc(576): Error (line 576): expected '('
even if i changed my ()'s to []'s and "=" to "=="

Code: ags

function cVamp_Talk()
{
if object[0].Visible == true dVamp1.Start();
else if object[0].Visible == false dVamp3.Start();

}

Yeah, read my post again... the error message gives the right hint.

[beenf]

I'm sorry, but I still don't get it.
It's like there's a "(" which does not fit in the code. But I can't seem to find which one is it.
Edit: Or does it need an extra "("

You need to put () around the conditions:

if (object[0].Visible == true) dVamp1.Start();
else if (object[0].Visible == false) dVamp3.Start();

Hmm, that's what I did before

Yeah well, line 577 obviously is further down in your script. If we're supposed to help you, you should post the relevant code snippet.

[beenf]

Ohh, that was the case. I tought it was something about the same lane, cause when I clicked the error it would highlight the 527th line
