I can't figure out how to make an object appear if it requires multiple objects to be in your inventory to do so...

Would you be able to help me out?

Alright...I have this so far and it works...

 // script for character2: Use inventory on character
SetCharacterView(JOSH, 8);
AnimateCharacter(JOSH, 0, 0, 1);
MoveCharacter(JOSH, 281, 208);
ObjectOn(4);


I now need this character to move to coordinates 200, 208 and switch character view to view 10...but the way I'm doing it, it doesn't work...so can somebody tell me how to accomplish this?...

While running an animation my game gives me this message and shuts down...

---------------------------
Illegal exception

I tried to do a second dialog request...but it didn't work out too well, it said it was already defined...

function dialog_request (int parameter) {
if (parameter==1) { // run-script 1
//Dealer winks
AnimateCharacter(JOSH, 4, 0, 0);
}
}

function dialog_request (int parameter) {
if (parameter==2) { // run-script 2
//Dealer moves
MoveCharacterBlocking(JOSH, 77, 189);
}
}

What should I do?

I expect I'll probally have a problem or question or two a day...I'm sorry, lol...

But thanks for your helps so far, I'm learning quite a bit...

I can't get a character to move, THEN do a quick animation...

All I need is to move a character to its coordinates....THEN do an animation....then make an object appear....

Making the animation work and the object appearing is no prob...but the animation always happens first....some of my attempts the character moves after the object, sometimes it doens't move at all....

But could you help me out?

I have read the manual, I guess I am still stumped, I don't learn too well by text, either, but I'm determined to learn this....

Basically my question is...I'm learning the basics, and I have two characters in a large empty space that is all walkable (so I can get the basics down)

I'm learning how to just move a character in the back on its own without having to rely on a specific action with little success.......but right now, I'm trying to learn dialogue...

I'm starting from scratch....how do I get a small conversation happening between my player character and the other character....

Thanks for your patience..

I have a character that I just want for the background...I have the animation loop and everything...I just can't figure out how to just have the animation play when you're in the room....Can anybody help me out?  Or give me any hints on how to improve upon this?
