Hi, i am using a slightly modified version of the TwoClickEventHandler

Code: ags

function on_mouse_click(MouseButton button)
{
	// when mouse is clicked, text label is cleared
	//lblActionText.Text = "";
	
	// when game is paused, clicks aren't processed
	if (IsGamePaused())
	{
		return;
	}
	
	// Left Mouse Button on Object/Character/Hotspot/Location
	// when no inventory is selected:
	// - INTERACT with target
	// - walk to location
	// else
	// - USE inventory on target
	else if (button == eMouseLeft)
	{
		if (GetLocationType(mouse.x, mouse.y) != eLocationNothing)
		{
			if (player.ActiveInventory == null)
			{
				ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, eModeInteract);
			}
			else
			{
        MovesToItem=false;
				ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, eModeUseinv);
        
			}			
			
		}
		else
		{
			if (player.ActiveInventory == null)
			{
        MovesToItem=false;
				ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, eModeWalkto);
			}
			else
			{
				player.ActiveInventory = null;
			}
		}			
	}

	// Right Mouse Button on Object/Character/Hotspot/Location
	// when no inventory is selected:
	// - EXAMINE target
	// else
	// - DESELECT inventory
	else if (button == eMouseRight)
	{
		if (player.ActiveInventory != null)
		{
			player.ActiveInventory = null;
		}
		
		else if (GetLocationType(mouse.x, mouse.y) != eLocationNothing)
		{
			ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, eModeLookat);
		}
	}
	
	// Left Mouse Button on Inventory Item
	// when no inventory is selected:
	// - INTERACT with target 
	// - SELECT target
	// else
	// - USE inventory on target
	else if (button == eMouseLeftInv)
	{
		InventoryItem *i = InventoryItem.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y);
		if (i != null)
		{
			if (i.GetProperty("propInstantUse") == true)
			{
				if (player.ActiveInventory == null)
				{
					i.RunInteraction(eModeInteract);
				}
				else
				{
					i.RunInteraction(eModeUseinv);
				}
			}
			else
			{
				if (player.ActiveInventory == null)
				{
					player.ActiveInventory = i;
				}
				else
				{
					if (i.ID != player.ActiveInventory.ID)
					{
						i.RunInteraction(eModeUseinv);
					}
				}
			}
		}
	}
	
	// Right Mouse Button on Inventory Item
	// when no inventory is selected:
	// - EXAMINE target
	// else
	// - DESELECT INVENTORY
	else if (button == eMouseRightInv)
	{
		if (player.ActiveInventory != null)
		{
			//player.ActiveInventory = null;
			return;
		}
		
		InventoryItem *i = InventoryItem.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y);
		if (i != null)
		{
			i.RunInteraction(eModeLookat);
		}
	}
	
}

when i rightclick the inventory item the following function is called:

Code: ags

function iInvItem1_Look()
{
player.Say("this is an X");
}

but during the time the player says "this is an X" the item in the inventory disappears, and appears again afterwards

Hi, i wanted to write a function that lets the character walk to a specific point and after that pick up an item.

Code: ags

function game_start()
{
  currObj=null;
  currChar=null;
  currItem = null;
  visible=eVisible;
  MovesToItem=false;
}
void WalkToPickUpItem(Character *actChar, Object *obj, InventoryItem *invItem, String onPickup, VisibleAfter vis)
{
  currObj=obj;
  currChar=actChar;
  currItem=invItem;
  XInteractPos=obj.X-XMARGIN;
  YInteractPos=obj.Y-YMARGIN;
  sOnPickup=onPickup;
  visible=vis;
  actChar.Walk(XInteractPos, YInteractPos, eNoBlock, eWalkableAreas);
  MovesToItem=true;
}

function repeatedly_execute()
{
  if(MovesToItem)
  if(currObj != null && currChar != null && currItem != null)
  {
    if(currObj.Visible==true)
    {
      if(currChar.x == XInteractPos && currChar.y == YInteractPos)
      {
        currChar.AddInventory(currItem);
        if(visible != eVisible)
        currObj.Visible=false;
        
        currChar.Say(sOnPickup);
      }
    }
  }
}

the character walks to the specified position but then it does not pick up the item
i think the problem is here:

Code: ags

if(currChar.x == XInteractPos && currChar.y == YInteractPos)

My thoughts about it:
because the char.x, char.y position are the sprite position on the top left side
while the move x,y are the somwhere @ the feet of the character

but i dont know exactly how they are calculated
something like walkx=(char.x +char.width/2) walky=char.y+char.height ?

or is there an easier way to achieve this?

Hi,
i am new to AGS (v.3.3) and for our game i'm currently trying to make a screen which appears when pressing esc, and disappears when pressing it again.
So far so good, i made a little gui, and a method for toggling the visibility

Code: ags

function ToggleIngameGui()
{
   if(PauseGui.Visible == false)
    {
    
    PauseGui.SetSize(300, 1);
    PauseGui.LockView(3);
    
    PauseGui.Visible=true;
    PauseGui.Animate(0, 3, eRepeat, eNoBlock);
    PauseGui.TweenSize(1.0, 300, 400, eEaseInTween, eNoBlockTween);
    PauseGui.TweenTransparency(1.0, 0, eEaseInTween, eNoBlockTween);
    }
    else
    {
      PauseGui.StopAllTweens(eFinishTween);
      
      PauseGui.TweenSize(1.0, 300, 1, eEaseOutTween, eNoBlockTween);
      PauseGui.TweenTransparency(1.0, 100, eEaseInTween, eNoBlockTween);
      WaitSeconds(1.0);
      PauseGui.UnlockView(true);
      PauseGui.Visible=false;
    }  
}

but when the gui appears the game is stopped (visibility = Pause game when shown)

and now the on_key_press event in the global script will not be executed (which is on purpose i think).
Is there some way to catch the event for the gui itself? .. the only thing i have is a very ugly workaround in the repeatedly_execute function ...

Code: ags

function repeatedly_execute() 
{
  //ugly workaround
  if((IsGamePaused() == 1) && (PauseGui.Visible == true))
  if (IsKeyPressed(27) == 1) 
  if(PauseGui.Height == 400)
  {
    ToggleIngameGui();
    Wait(100);
  }
  
}
