How can you convert the char returned by the StrGetCharAt into a string so that it can be used in the standard functions.

How do you put an ascii into a string.

I tried one way but it put in the wrong ascii, unless 13 is a face & a note, but the reference says it's enter

I have added this script to my game & it tells me that the strcopy is a mismatch non-variable/variable

string input;
GetTextBoxText(0,1,input);
StrCopy(labeltext,StrCat(input,labeltext));
SetLabelText(0,0,labeltext);

As always I have probably neglected to read something buried in the help file

I realise that I shouldn't technically post my first game...
But everyone I've shown it to says I should, even if the graphics aren't up to much.

There will be many bugs that my guinea pigs testers didn't find so post them here if you do!

The screen shots you asked for:



And a game summary (copied from the opening message):

The ship you are in has entered the asteroid belt & has been damaged beyond repair.
You have been, because of an error in the "failsafe" computer system, missed off the list of personnel.
The only way to open the escape pod door is with a key card, but they took that with them when they were leaving.
You must escape!

How can you turn on an object in a different room.
I think this is probably a thingy.thingy that I don't understand, tips on these would be helpful

Is it possible to disable walkable areas?
I appreciate that there is probably a simple answer that I should have found somewhere but I haven't.

I was attemptting to test my game when I recieved an "Illegal exception":

An exception 0xC0000005 occured in ACWIN.EXE at EIP = 0x00417BB0 ; program pointer is +6, ACI version 2.62.772, gtags (0,0)

If it helps at all I have added this script to:   function repeatedly_execute

string buffer;
GetLocationName(mouse.x,mouse.y,buffer);
string cursor;
if (GetCursorMode() == MODE_WALK)
{
StrCopy (cursor,"Walk to ");
}
else if (GetCursorMode() == MODE_LOOK)
{
StrCopy (cursor,"Look at");
}
else if (GetCursorMode() == MODE_USE)
{
StrCopy (cursor,"Use ");
}
SetLabelText(0,0,cursor+buffer);
}
