go in the bathroom, take the paper on the chair and the strips from the foot of the mummy. Then throw the paper or the strips in the w.c. and flush it! You'll clog it . So go back to karl's room.[\hide]

give meatloaf to the butler, Reginald. Then use the rope on the deer head. With the deer head you can win against Golia, using it on Donald. If u lose the spoon, u can take another one going again in the tearoom. When u use the rope on the well, dont forget to take it with you. [\hide]

Ciao millennium,

I think it won't work that way.

You should do something like that:

Suppose you have some mouse cursors called: eModeLeft, eModeRight, eModeForw, eModeLook, eModeInteract, eModeDefault
(it's only an example)
And suppose you have in your room 3 hotspot (hHOT1, hHOT2, hHOT3), 1 object (oOBJ1), 1 character (cGIOVANNI)
(it's only an example)

create a REPEAT EXECUTE in your room :

Code: ags

function room_RepExec()
{
    if (Hotspot.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y) == hotspot[0] && Object.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y) == null && Character.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y) == null)
     {
     mouse.UseModeGraphic(eModeDefault);
     mouse.Mode = eModeDefault;
     }
     else
     {
     if (Character.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y) == cGIOVANNI) {mouse.UseModeGraphic(eModeLook); mouse.Mode = eModeLook;}
     if (Hotspot.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y) == hHOT1) {mouse.UseModeGraphic(eModeLeft); mouse.Mode = eModeLeft;}
     if (Hotspot.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y) == hHOT2) {mouse.UseModeGraphic(eModeRight); mouse.Mode = eModeRight;}
     if (Hotspot.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y) == hHOT3) {mouse.UseModeGraphic(eModeForw); mouse.Mode = eModeForw;}
     if (Object.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y) == oOBJ1) {mouse.UseModeGraphic(eModeInteract); mouse.Mode = eModeInteract;}
     // add other if ... here
     }
}

REPEAT THAT THING in EACH ROOM (with its ojects hotspots, etc.)

then... to make something appening on mouse click just create the function ANYCLICK
for example:

Code: ags

function hHOT1_AnyClick()
{
cChecco.ChangeRoom(3);
}

yeah, but be sure you got the right "age".. You can see a dial  on top left... A.d. Or B.c. ... In the song there are written historical events.. So you have to figure out the right age [\hide]

Thank you so much CaptainD
I hope you'll enjoy the game till the end... it's a bit long, but I hope it can give you lots of fun!
It's my first game using AGS; I love that engine.

An incredible work!
Awesome!
I'm waiting for the release ... tomorrow!!!!!

Hi cagliostro,
I thank you cause players' feedback is so important to me.

Spoiler

we made this choice: using a wrong item on a object just nothing appens.
But you're not wrong. Maybe it has to be changed.
Thanx for advice[\hide]

 hi Cagliostro

take the denture in the director's office. To take it ask the director about bram stoker. Then go to the kid and use the denture on donald. Then cut the ropes of the rwing. With the ropes you gan go inside the well. To cut the rope you need mordechai's scissors. To get thdn use betty bunny's hair cutter on the scissors. [\hide]

Let pemple have fun is my first reason for making games.

Thanx again.

Look in your inventory. I suppose you already have the note-pad that MacGeyser gave you. If not, I suppose you have to solve time-michine puzzle first. If yes, give the note-pad to Miss Betty Bunny, to ask her a signature .... go inside her room ... and ... you will find something

[Donald will try to become Bob Delano s assistant (the most famous occult detective in Ireland), be involved in the investigation of Barker Manor and, hopefully, solve the mystery.]

Donald Dowell is a nice old man in his eighties, retired for many years. Donald's life, except for his "intolerable" wife, is quiet.  But Donald feels empty. He has the socalled retiree's syndrome : he s bored to death!  The only way to cure his boredom is TO GO BACK TO WORK.  After many hours spent in his city, trying to get hired for various jobs, he finally finds his calling: to be a GHOSTBUSTER! Donald will try to become Bob Delano s assistant (the most famous occult detective in Ireland), be involved in the investigation of Barker Manor and, hopefully, solve the mystery.
