By the way, Victor6, you forgot to pickup your golden trophy here:

Good thing I did not won, I can participate in the next one

temporary variable : = complex expression
array[temporary variable] : =   ...

Pascal coder detected 

[Scripting Modules]

I have a proposal to make a categorized list somwhere, like

Scripting Modules - the ones that give you more scripting opportunities (e.g, Stack, StringPlus, Calin's Utility)
Feature Modules - the ones that add some complete feature already usable in game (Flashlight, Credits, High Scores module, etc)
Engine Modules - ones that act as a base for certain game genre
Graphic Modules - 3d, Smooth Scrolling, etc

and so on.

Can it be that prof plum is not initially invisible?

Change it when room loads and change back when character leaves the room?

Will you update this over time with new backgrounds?

Remember: if you want more than one command under if/else, put brackets!

Code: ags

 if (player.View == 4 )
 {
    player.AddInventory (iDisguiseX);
    player.LoseInventory (iRemove);
 }
 else
 {
    player.AddInventory (iDisguiseX);
    player.LoseInventory (iDisguise);
 }

Also, please, when you post a code here, put it inside [ code ] [ /code ] tags (without inner spaces), it will be easier to read

I didn't test this and the error seems unrelated, but doesn't an array declaration require a constant?
What happens if you try this using a dynamic array?

It isn't array declaration. It is getting array's element by index.

There's no error if a non-static struct member is used.
I guess it is parsing mistake.

Example code:

Code: ags

struct MyStruct
{
  import static int func();
};

function SomeOtherFunc()
{
   int arr[100];
   int var = arr[MyStruct.func()];    // <--- line X
}

Compiler stops with error: " Error (line X): parse error after '[' ".


Possible workaround:

Code: ags

   int dummy = MyStruct.func();
   int var = arr[dummy];

You must insert single 'space' character before each script command that does not belong to the list of dialog-specific commands.
In other words:

Code: ags

@S  // Dialog startup entry point
Gustav: He waits, growing paler and paler.
return
@1
 player.Walk(334, 55, eBlock); // <--- notice space at the start of line
Gustav: Oh, thankyou sir! Thankyou! truely I... I... oh- F-farewell!
stop

Excution timing will be corresponding to command position in script, i.e. in this example player will walk to 334,55 and Gustav will say something only after.

yay

SC2 downloads a huge patch today, about 550 MB. Looks like second phase of Beta starts soon.
Too bad I have no time for a regular play now.

Having fun, are ye? Oh well....

Crimson Wizard = Gordon Freeman!
also pictured you with a beard. the power of profile pictures!

Heh. I look more like Gordon Freeman when I grow my beard and moustach for a month or so 

At least I don't look like a gi... uh-oh, can't believe I nearly said that.

If you put a function inside #ifdef --- #endif block which technically makes her disabled, code-wise, editor still "thinks" it's active:
1) Typing its name will make a tip appear showing its full name and parameters.
2) Right clicking on the typed function call and selecting "Goto Definition" will make editor go to disabled function's body.
3) If the function was used as an event handler and is still typed into object's properties pane, double clicking on its name there makes editor go to function definition.

If you make second function with same name, and make it active, "go to definition" still goes to previous one.

Simple: if you have an event handler function name assigned to the corresponding object's (gui, etc) property, but there's no real function (e.g. you deleted it), there will be no error or warning shown neigher during compilation or during game run (even when you interact with an object).

Well, why the heck not.  
I do not photograph myself often, so I decided I'll use this opportunity to post my most recent photo here for you to behold an evil (and unshaved) visage of a guy hiding beyond Crimson Wizard's personality... or vice-versa.








I had to cut a piece of image with me holding tablet with my prison number on it actually that's for the pass-paper on my new job did I mention I work in the uber secret science institute?.

Voting still going?

If yes, I vote for SookieSock's sprite, for it is not only damn cute, but also quite functional as it is.

In Broken Sword, when you have to get out of the Hotel with the pergamin, but the gangsters outside will kill you if you do it. The solution was pretty logic, but after you have being killed.

Oh, there's worse examples, like the bobby pin in the meatloaf in Larry 2. You need the pin, and the only way to discover it's there is by eating the loaf, which kills you. And if you take the pin out, you get a remark like "you wonder if anyone was stupid enough to eat that"...

This reminds me Laura Bow 2 and a chest full of flesh-eating bugs. You had to put meat loaf (IIRC) there, but I don't see how you could guess that without first opening it and dying, then reloading.

I decided to "remember my younger days" and re-read Jack London's stories, simply without any certain reason.
Also reading Lovecraft a little bit, for game-making inspiration mainly.
Also a book on C#

Wow surprised this topic hasn't been locked after this long

Now it WILL be locked, because of you
