Why doesn't this script work?
I'm trying to get the mouse to change to talk to when over a character.
This is in my repeatedly execute:

Code: ags

if (Character.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y) == true){
  mouse.SaveCursorUntilItLeaves();
  mouse.Mode = eModeTalkto;
  }

Is it possible to do Syberia style speech, where the character is animated in speech view, but the words appear in a box at the bottom of the screen, like subtitles? 

Also, can I make a topic list that can be added to and removed from throughout the game, where only those key-words bring up conversation topics?

I'm just making a small suggestion to help clean up the WIP boards.

Is there any way to automatically lock all the WIP threads that are say, six monts or a year old.  I keep seeing four or five locked threads on the first page because someone dug up an old thread.  This would at least eliminate the obviously abandoned games from being dug up by someone.  Or would this cause Darth Mandarb's PM box to be inundated with "Unlock My Thread" requests?

One more small question:  If I find an old thread in the tech forums that is related to my question, but does not fully answer it; do I dig up the old thread or do I create a new one?
