I have two functions called AddReminder and LoseReminder. I want to use them in room scripts as well as the global script. I have exported them at the end of the global script, and imported them into the global header. However, when I try to use LoseReminder in the middle of a function in my room script, it comes back with a parse error.

I've used it within the function hDoor_Interact() as follows:

Code: ags

LoseReminder("Phone Mum.");

Hi, I'm making my first game in AGS, and I want to put in a feature which can allow the player to review objectives.
This would be done with a "notebook" inventory item, which when looked at brings up a GUI displaying the objectives that haven't been completed yet. Because the game isn't completely linear, I can't have each new objective taking the place of the last.

I did have a search around the forums for similar threads and found one from a while back: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=31624.0

I don't know it was ever solved. The last post was by Ashen, who suggested an untested piece of code:

function AddReminder(String text) {
  lstMemo.InsertItemAt(0,text);
}

function LoseReminder(String text) {
  int Temp;
  while (Temp < lstMemo.ItemCount) {
    if (lstMemo.Items == text) {
      lstMemo.RemoveItem(Temp);
      Temp = lstMemo.ItemCount;
    }
  Temp ++;
  }
}

The description sounded perfect for what I want to do, which is to have a ListBox within a GUI that displays strings as they are requested, that would be stored elsewhere.

However I don't fully understand how this script works. What do I put in the place of "text"?

From what I do understand I need to put in an array index somewhere, but where and how? I've never used them before, and the section in the manual didn't clarify with me how exactly I was supposed to use them in my script.

Apologies if I'm asking too many little questions. I'm just trying to establish what I do and don't understand.
