[player.SetIdleView(43,1);]

I recently have trouble getting the SetIdleView command to work with characters other than the player.
If I code
player.SetIdleView(43,1);
it works like a charm for the main character, but when I do the same with another character it doesn't play its idle animation.

I'm using the 3.5.1.19 build. Has anyone had a similar problem? I don't remember having this problem in other games.

Hi, community!

I’m planning to release Nightmare Frames  in mid-June. Yes! The game is in an eternal testing loop and it seems that everything works perfectly

https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=58567.0

I need some brave testers to examine the English text of the game by pointing out grammatical errors, construction, etc. 

The deadline will be from the start to approximately two weeks. The average time of the game is 8 hours and there's a lot of text. So please, if you commit, make sure you have enough time!

Sadly, the budget of the game is 0, so I can't offer anything but a digital copy of Nightmare Frames, your name in the credits and all my eternal gratitude.

If you want to join in this adventure, please DM. But please make sure you have enough time!

EDIT: Help found! Thank you very much!!

To make a parallax effect where the foreground object moves faster than the scrolling background, I just had to put this simple line (without the help of modules) in AGS 3.4.3

Code: ags

function repeatedly_execute_always()
{
  ocar1.X=0-(GetViewportX()/2);
}

This works very well. With some "things" that we can talk any other day.

But the GetViewportX  command is now obsolete in 3.5.1

What is the equivalent of GetViewport in 3.5.1? Is it still possible to do a parallax effect with a simple line like the one above?

Occasionally, some sounds that i put in a simple code like this:

Code: ags

Hhotspot5_Interact()
{
Asound.Play();
}

Doesn't sound anything the first time I click on the hotspot, but it sounds the following times.

I'm using AGS 3.4.3.1 and I never experienced something like this. The only factor that changed since this happened is that I changed my computer. 

EDIT: I noticed that only happens when I skip a cutscene.

I have a strange issue with my game, worthy of a bad creepypasta.

A week ago, while debugging the game and sending the character to other rooms, the engine was showing a random error that couldn't find the room58.  There's no room 58! My game at that moment just had 36 rooms!
My desesperate way of solving it was delete the map room and put in the room58. The error no longer occurred. But now, if i put per example "player.Changeroom(36)", the player goes to the infamous room58.
The same occurs when i use the crt+x option to go to others rooms. The room58 appears if i choose any other room.

I have had problems before, but they could be solved by logic, looking at the manual or with the great help of this community. But this... Idon't know where the problem is  and I don't even understand what the problem could be!

First o all, Hapy New Year to everyone!

I have a constantly scrolling background using this code in room_RepExec:

Code: ags

if (oroad.X > -Room.Width) 
{
  oroad.X = oprueba.X -4;
}
else
{
  oroad.X = 0 ;
}

And i want to put two characters talking in this scene. But when one of them talks, the scrolls stops until the dialog ends. I supose the command Say blocks the constantly scroll code, but is there any way to avoid this?

Hi! I have a world map that looks like this:



The places to go are buttons. Is there any (easy if it's possible) way for them to appear listed as you discover them?

I have several NPC walking some left to right and others right to left with this code in repeteadly_execute:

Code: ags

if (!ctrans01.Moving)
{
    if (ctrans01.x < 200) ctrans01.Walk(400, 162,  eNoBlock, eAnywhere);
    else ctrans01.Walk(-100, 162, eNoBlock, eAnywhere);

}

And i have the problem when i change room and turn back to the room with the people walking, some of them just turn around. Here´s a video:

Is there any way to prevent this?
