Hi, I'm working on a game for this month's MAGS. I'm trying to make a LucasArts-style status line, but unfortunately I have almost no scripting skills.
I tried updating an obsolete code that I found at http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=14369.0 but I couldn't make it work. I figured out how to change the obsolete GetCursorMode to something that worked, but I didn't succeed at replacing the obsolete SetLabelText.
I also tried having a look at SSH's Description Module but that made no sense to me at all (as I said I really don't know much about scripting).
Anyway, I could really use some help here. Also, I forgot to update AGS before starting my new game so I'm still using version 2.72.

edit: Something else I need some help with: I need to make a few characters stand in the background talking while you're playing the game as usual. I know that I should probably write a Dialog and use the repeatedly_execute funtion in the script, but how do I make the dialog run in a loop and how do I avoid making it impossible to do anything while the dialog is on?

Ok, I've started working on a game for this month's MAGS competition - and any game needs a main character. So here she is. This is my first draft, and though I'm relatively satisfied with it, I think it could need some improvements.
Also, I'm looking for someone to animate her for me (I think getting help with animations is allowed in MAGS... I hope). Just a simple walk animation, or actually more like a slow and very stealthy walk animation.


NEW VERSION IN LATER POST

The game is going to be made using (almost) only grey and blue colours, which is why she has blue lips.

This is my first AGS character. Actually I think it's one of the first things that I have ever drawn from scratch with Paint. It is the main character for the MAGS game that I am (hopefully) making - the game will be my first AGS game. So I'm a real newbie.
His clothes are supposed to look like some kind of pyjamas that he has borrowed from a hospital. His shoes are some kind of cheap slippers.

       

edit: new version. Improved shading. Background colour changed. Shading added to pocket. Feet made a bit longer.
edit: new version. Darker shading. Changed arms. Shading changed in the third view so that the light comes from the same direction in all four views. Shading added to shoes.
