Thanks guys. I used a bit of help from everyone 

character[EGO].Transparency = 100; 
made an object run like the character animation would have.
player.x = xx;             // xx = new x position
player.y = yy;             // yy = new y position
reset my characters transparency, and it worked like a charm

I'm probably doing this the hard way

My character stands in one place, and it just looks like he's jumping to another spot.

How would i take the movement out of the anim and put it into the script?

My character in my game has to jump out the way just in time, so i made the animation for it and decided to use run animation.

It looked great to tell the truth, but when i set my characters view back to the original walking view, he jumped back to where he started.

So i tried setting his view to the jumping out the way view, and just made him walk to the spot i wanted him to jump to. Good idea in theory

When i did that, he repeated the same action over and over  until he got to the spot i wanted him to be(like he would when he's walking), so thats no good either

How do i do run animation and make my character be where i want them to be afterwards?

You know what!!! Thats what it was. Thanks, I'll remember that for next time

It must have been something I was doing with the script. As soon as I started a new game and used the scrollup/down coding, it worked. I must have done something funny before without noticing.

The only thing I changed was the inventory item dimensions. That might have screwed it up somehow, seeing the coding is different with 2.7

Sorry for all the fuss

Arggh...

I did it just like you wrote it.

Now it says -

unexpected '.': possible missing semicolon

Please can you write down what it should look like. I replaced everything with the InvWindow.ScrollUp/Down  command to look like:

if (button == 9) { // UP arrow
    if InvWindow.ScrollUp
   } else
  if (button == 10) { // DOWN arrow
    if InvWindow.ScrollDown

This really doesn't make sense to me. CJ should never have changed the coding when people were just getting use to the old version. PLEASE HELP

Thanx

I've search the forums for an answer. Tried everything I can think of, but with no luck. So, I'm asking this - please don't kill me

I've downloaded a 2.7 ags verson of a monkey island 2 gui template, but when I have more than 8 items in my inventory, it doesn't let me scroll down. When I press the scroll down button, the next line of inventory items flashes on for a split second, and then goes back to the first line.

Here's what I've got:
if (button == 9) { // UP arrow
Ã,  Ã,  if (game.top_inv_item>0)
Ã,  Ã,  game.top_inv_item=game.top_inv_item-game.items_per_line;
Ã,  Ã, } else
Ã,  if (button == 10) { // DOWN arrow
Ã,  Ã,  if (game.top_inv_item < game.num_inv_items-game.num_inv_displayed)
Ã,  Ã,  Ã, game.top_inv_item=game.top_inv_item+game.items_per_line;
Ã,  Ã, }
Ã,  }
I've changed it so many times trying to get it to work, that this isn't the original i started with. Another problem is it might be some other coding amoung the hundreds of lines of coding thats screwing me around
I can't understand it. I'm so use to the older version of ags, and the new one confuses me. This should be working!!

Please tell me what's wrong with it.

Thank you Ashen, and also everyone else for trying to help

Hi there
I was wondering - how do you change the way your inventory item look like ofter you pick it up out of you inventory. Each item in my inventory is on a coloured block (block only shows up after intem in is inventory.) When i take it out of the inventory, i want it to not have the block anymore. what would the coding be if i have two different picture for one item

hope that made sense
