How do you work it when you have to diff talking views ?
I have one while he is sitting down and one standing .

I just want him to say **Squawk  Squawk  Squawk **  random times with out blocking . whats the easy way to do this ?

[I figured it out ..]

I'm having a brain fart or the pills are kicking in and I can't for the life of me figure out how to do this .
I have a bird and wnat to have it say  a message and remove a  Inventory  from the player .
I seem to know how to do it with a hotspot but not on a  Character ?
So the Character would be  "BIRD"  the   Inventory  item is a "nutcake" and the player is EGO . remove the nutcake say message "blah blah" .
How would I do this with the drop down list or code doesn't matter to me .
Thanks for your help .
I figured it out ..

How would you do CrossFade or  BackboxOut etc ? Can't seem to find it in the manual.

Code: ags

FadeOut(30);
Wait(40);
FadeIn(10); 

Code: ags

BackboxOut(30);
Wait(40);
BackboxIn(10); 

Like that ?

I'm working on doing this cutscene and was wondering if I could do this with out showing the busy when it is running ?

Code: ags

int over1;
over1=CreateTextOverlay (35,37,220,2,15,"A GBC Games Productions ");
Wait(200);
RemoveOverlay(over1);

I plan on adding  a wait and then run a few of these lines to do the intro/cutscene
etc .
But can't the busy be hidden ? maybe a better why to do it ?

Just something I was playing with today .. 

I'm trying to do this but I spell like poop and not sure if this looks good ?
Maybe spell check it and change things if you think it would look better .

Look I'm not a bad guy , sometimes good guys just make small mistakes and they tend to turn in to big mistakes .
My mistakes were people that I pick for friends and beliveing what they had to say .
So now I'm stuck here in bum fuck and picking up snot nose kids for shoplifting.
So the boss wants to see me so I have to take his shit for an hour then I can go have a beer and get out of this shithole .

Thank you for your time and help .

When you make a new room it is always black .
Anyway to change the color with out using a background picture ?

What would be the best way so anytime a Inventory item is added it says Inventory added in some font ?
I know I could do a add message but don't want to add that to every Inventory item .

   felt like using this .  face . lol

I made this for myself and maybe someone else could use it .
Here is what it looks like with a png the zip has the ico in it .

 The first part of "The Lost Tales of Monkey Island"
Done with Lego's
Need RM or windows midia player ..

I would like for it to wait 20 sec and then walk again but if I add  Wait(20); it then turns in to a blocking move and I don't want that .

Code: ags

 // script for room: Repeatedly execute
if (character[LADYTALL].walking == 0) { //if not walking
  MoveCharacterPath (LADYTALL, 183, 98);
  MoveCharacterPath (LADYTALL, 123, 83);
} 

So how can I make it stand for 20 then walk again ?

Getting this error .

There was an error compiling your script. The problem was in 'Global script':

******************** HOW TO MAKE CURSORS CHANGE OVER HOTSPOTS/OBJECTSA/CHARACTERS *******************************
Using the GetLocationType function you don't have to write a code for every hotspot in the game and you get
the cursor change also above objects and characters ( tou can modify it to change only on hotspots or objects,
change it to TALK when above characters etc)
Let's say your cursors are:
0 WALK
1 LOOK
2 USE
3 TALK
4 TAKE // NOT USED
5 CHANGED WALK
6 CHANGED LOOK
7 CHANGED USE
8 CHANGED TALK
9 WAIT
Just put the following code in the GLOBAL SCRIPT'S REPEATEDLY EXECUTE function
GetLocationName(mouse.x,mouse.y,name); // Get the name of what's under the cursor
if (StrComp(name,"")==0) SetDefaultCursor(); // if blank ( or hotspot with no name
//'used for CHAR STANDS ON HOTSPOT') do nothing
else {
if (GetCursorMode()==0) { //if cursor is WALK
if (GetLocationType(mouse.x,mouse.y)>0) SetMouseCursor(5); // change cursor to CHANGED WALK
else SetDefaultCursor(); } // change back to WALK
if (GetCursorMode()==1) { // if cursor is LOOK
if (GetLocationType(mouse.x,mouse.y)>0) SetMouseCursor(6); // change cursor to CHANGED LOOK
else SetDefaultCursor(); } // change back to LOOK
if (GetCursorMode()==2) { // if cursor is USE
if (GetLocationType(mouse.x,mouse.y)>0) SetMouseCursor(7); // change to CHANGED USE
else SetDefaultCursor(); } // change back to USE
if (GetCursorMode()==3) { // if cursor is TALK
if (GetLocationType(mouse.x,mouse.y)>0) SetMouseCursor(8); // Change to CHANGED TALK
else SetDefaultCursor(); } // change back to TALK
}

What would do that ?

When  you check the box to have the view go to the next row so you can have a long loop how does that work ?
Say the first loop is Loop Down and you use the next loop that would be Left .
Would the next loop after that be left then and so forth ?
And if you didn't use the full view you would just the leave the rest empty and start on the next loop .

I want to have a NPC walk in to a region and start an action ( open door) .

So if someone wants to see how it is done they can watch this quick time movie .
I was using psp to copy and paste a sprite in and crop it .

Thank Steve for the space .

I only have 4 views for walking so how do you make the character  not walk sidestep as they move ?
I have the box check to have character turn before moving but it doesn't seem to stop that .
Turn  and go left right up down  . not  upright with right view .

Does she look tall  enough for the room ?

How can have a sound play every few secs ?
I would like it to  do it in every room .
