Interesting game in itself, though!

Did you play Get Rich or DotA? If so what did you think of it?

DoTA stands for Defence of the Ancients. It is a very popular Warcraft III map.

Hello AGS Buddies,

I would first like to say how much I love AGS. I started working on an adventure game in March 2009 with AGS. It really opened my eyes and ignited a fire inside me to become a great programmer. Since then I've learnt a lot, and have moved on to XNA and C# to make an adventure game for the XBOX 360 Indie Game Store.

My game progress is:
Programming 95%
Sprites 80%
Storyline 80%

So at this late stage of development I thought it would be a good idea to hear feed back from real adventure game enthusiasts. Don't hold back, rip it to shreds. If you should play the game and dislike it, then I really want to hear your feed back. Even if you just say "Didn't like it".

Project name:
Get Rich or DoTA

Brief description:
A young boy, Wilson, is playing DoTA at home, a game his Dad forbids him to play. His Dad unexpectedly returns home early to find Wilson in the midst of a DoTA match.

Dad is so furious, he kicks Wilson out of the house and leaves him on the streets of a ghetto. It is at this exact point you take control of Wilson Cooper, and guide him to riches.

Thank you very much for your two helpful posts. I've implemented both of your suggestions and its working perfectly. I really like coding this stuff! Always is a sinch.

Hi AGSers,

I want to give an inventory item to another character in my game, and when the EGO gives it to the other character I want it to be removed from cEgo's inventory. Simple enough, but I can't seem to find the correct function call after browsing through the intellisense.

At the moment I have this

function cBaker_UseInv()
{
    dBakerBuyMCD.Start();
}

I believe any inventory item will trigger this function and that is not what I want, also the Inventory Item (A McDonalds Meal) stays inside the inventory. Which is not what I want.

Thanks,
Angus

^ Too easy, thanks its working now

Nice idea, but I can't really make the character disappear through a walk behind, since I want him to go into a building the EGO goes into.

@4
BALLER: Aight, I got shit to do too.
  cBaller.Walk(572, 503);
  cBaller.ChangeRoom(1);
stop

That's the code I've got so far, it doesn't do what I want it to. The character doesn't walk, instead after choosing Dialogue #4, the character just disappears from the screen. So I tried this:

@4
BALLER: Aight, I got shit to do too.
  cBaller.Walk(572, 503);
  while(!cBaller.Animating)
{
}
  cBaller.ChangeRoom(1);
stop

However that produced a runtime error since an 'infinite loop' was detected.

I was thinking about how to make it appear as if a character has entered a building. Right now I'm thinking about making a blank VIEW and when the character reaches the building change his view to the blank view. Then after some time, say 5 seconds change his view once again.

What do you think?

Thanks, I'll take a look at those things now.

First I'd like to say that this AGS stuff is really great and it reminds me a lot of Visual Studio.

Anyway, I'd like to create a cut scene that takes place after speaking to a character.  The character walks off into a building, disappears for a moment, then returns with two bags of money in his hands. He then gets into his Ferrari and storms off.

So basically I need to:
-Speed up the Ferrari movement, because at the moment it isn't dramatic enough
-Make some action take place after some dialogue, so after choosing one topic of discussion the above described scene should take place
- Make a character disappear, when the character goes into the building.
- Change a character's view, when the character returns with two bags of money in his hands.
