don't want to make an animation. I prefer the video but I was wondering if I could make it run faster.
If it's just the loading time and there's nothing I can do...(sigh)..ok
Thanks for replying!

Hi, I have my game complete about 40% and when I'm testing it I have a speed problem.
The game is with actors, so when the player picks up an item, I have a video playing showing him taking the item.
The thing is when I click on the object the game freezes for some seconds and then play the video.

The question is: Is there any way to make it play faster?

Yes that was what I wanted to know.
Thank you very much KhrisMUC!

I had already tried some things myself but the only thing I did was to mess the whole script file...  :
Anyways, thanks again!

Hi everyone, I just searched manual and forum for this, tried a few things and still came empty handed....
My question (maybe a bit silly though) is this: How do I use an inventory Item on a Hotspot, Object or Character?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the help guys!
Another problem solved! 

Thanks for the quick reply!
I'm not much of a scripter so, can you show me the code, how would you do it?

Hi, I am trying to make a GK2 style game so I have a GUI appearing on the bottom of the background room (always visible) . And I want the mouse to change mode each time it passes the edges of the room to an exit mouse cursor, and then to change back again. So I put 3 hotspots with the following code:

Code: ags

function hHotspot2_MouseMove()
{
  mouse.SaveCursorUntilItLeaves();
  mouse.Mode= eModeRoomExitL;

}

function hHotspot3_MouseMove()
{
  mouse.SaveCursorUntilItLeaves();
  mouse.Mode= eModeExitright;
}

function hHotspot4_MouseMove()
{
  mouse.SaveCursorUntilItLeaves();
  mouse.Mode= eModeExitDown;
}

The problem is that when my cursor passes the hotspot at the bottom edge and moves over the GUI it changes to exit cursor and stays that way... How can I set a specific cursor mode when the cursor is over the GUI?

Pumaman you're right!
I feel kindda stupid... 
Thank you very much man!

Hi, I have a problem with the character's animation.
I have View1 with loop0(down), loop1(left) and loop2(right).
When I run the game to test it, my character is moving ONLY left and right. It's like it can't see the loop0 for down...
Can anyone help?

Ok, I have already start remaking!
Thanks both of you a lot! 

Hmmm, ok then I'll try it your way and I'll post back If there's an other problem.
Thank you very much for your time! 

Hi Ghost and thank you for your quick reply!
I just tried to add a full pic (without cutting it to 4 pieces) as one GUI and set the background color to zero.
This way I am able to see the GUI and the room  when i run the game.
What I cant find out how to do is to make the background room size be adjusted to the inside transparent rectangle of the GUI pic...

What do you suggest?

Hi everyone, I am trying to develop an adventure game in Gabriel Knight 2 style.
So what i want to know is how can we display (when the game runs) the room in a smaller window, on a picture with the GUI controls. See the example.

Example:


Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you in advance!

hi, I am new to AGS world but maybe i can help a little (if I understood your problem  ).
If you want to make the character walk where an object or character is i think you must click on object's events and 'interact object' and then write something like "player.Walk(347,  662,  eBlock);"

Now if you want to disable automated walking, I think you can do that from the General Settings of AGS.
So, try this and post again! 
I hope i could help....

I can't find out how to paste an image file to the post... (stupid me)
So I'll try to explain it. I took two pics of a person with my digital camera. Edit them on photoshop, but when i was done with them, the first image had dimensions: 267x449 and the second one had 133x423.
So my question is this: can we edit these dimensions with AGS, or do I have to re-create them more carefully from photoshop?

I want to annimate the character, but it seems the sprites I import for lets say the Left Walk annimation, the character doesn't have the same Width and Height. (ex. sprite 2 is bigger from sprite 1)
So I was wondering of there's a way to adjust Width and Height from within the AGS instead than adjusting them from the default image editor...

Ok now I can import the sprites without any problem.
But I have an other question...
After importing the sprites, is there any way to change the width and height from within the AGS?
From the Script section maybe?
Anyone can help?

Trent R you're the best!
I didn't know about the 'Export Transparent Image...' option, and after i used it my image still has a very tiny with border around it, but i thing that's how it should be.
My main problem is solved!
Thank you Trent and everyone for your time, help and quick responces!
Long Live AGS 

I am using Photoshop CS (begginer, i don't know to use it very well).
So I open the original image with photoshop and cut the character from it, then I save it on bmp format or PNG. (at PNG format the alpha chanels are greyed out)
As for the AGS, when i import the newly created image as sprite I still have a tiny white border around my character...

At AGS the transparency is set to top left.

Hi, thank you for the quick reply!

My game is already set to 32-bit, and I have already tried to save the image in PNG format.
The thing is that the "Alpha chanels" check box is greyed out...
Don't know what i'm doing wrong...
