Ok all.  here's the situation.  I am creating a game in which a guy is burning from the inside.  I have it set to timer 1 with setTimer(1,40)

in GlobalScript.asc
---------------------------------------------------
function repeatedly_execute()
{
   if (IsTimerExpired(1)==1)
    {
      heatUp();
      SetTimer(1, 100);
    }
}

That function works fine.   I have a water bottle that currently lowers the character's heat value by a defined value.  That also works.  I am now trying to pause the heatUp() function for 60 seconds after using the water bottle, then continue.   I have tried to create my own timer to decrament in a while loop for the pause, but it doesn't seem to work.


function iWaterBtl_Interact()
{
   coolOff();                                                              // cools off player and designated amount
   waterToken -= 1;                                                 // decrements waterToken by 1, starting at 4 (declared in global variables)
   if (waterToken ==0)                                             // if waterToken reaches 0, remove iWaterBtl from inventory
   {
      cChristian.LoseInventory(iWaterBtl);
   }
   mouse.Mode=eModeInteract;
     while (waterTimer >= 0)                                    // water timer declared in global variables as int 60
     {                                                                        // while waterTimer is greater than 0
     heatIndex = heatIndex;                                    // set heatIndex to itself (aka.. pause heatIndex)
     waterTimer -= 1;                                                // decrement waterTimer by 1
     }
}

Hey all.  I'm trying to get a conditional dialogue option to be a different color than the standard choices.  Is this possible?  I don't want to change the color of what he actually says in-game, just the text line in the options.  Please help!

My team is trying to create a graphical overlay that will start off at a percentage of transparency and then get more solid (less transparent) as your heat level increases.  I used the code in the Dynamic help as a starting point.   The problem I'm having is I'm unsure where to place the code.  I either get the overlay to show up and infinitely run, or it shows up one time and so fast that you don't ever see it.  I want this to happen on any level throughout the game.  I've tried to place it in the   function repeatedly_execute()   and the   function repeatedly_execute_always() .   Please help.  Also, if you know how to set the transparency of the overlays, that would be excellent info.


function OL()
{
if (heatIndex >= 3)
  {
    Overlay* Boom = Overlay.CreateGraphical(100, 100, 71, true);
    Wait(40);
    Boom.Remove();
  }
}

How do I play a .wmv file in my AGS game?   I have made an intro video to my game and can't figure out where to place it or add it, so that I can call the PlayVideo(); function.   Someone please help!!  Trying to figure it our for our class.

I'm trying to  (A) make objects in my game solid.  and (B) Create a function that can set multiple objects to solid.

For Example:

Table.Solid = true;   (This is what wiki said but didn't work)

Function makeSolid(object)
{
    object.solid = true;
}

so I can just call:

   makeSolid(Table);  (This will call the table.solid = true; function)

Please help ASAP.
