I originally stole it from the Maniac Mansion Mania template.
I'm not sure how helpful it'll be for you, but here it is:
function move_player (int x, int y)
{
// Move the player character to x,y coords, waiting until he/she gets there,
// but allowing to cancel the action by pressing a mouse button.
mouse.ChangeModeGraphic(eModeWait, 5);
cancelled = 0;
player.Walk(x, y, eNoBlock, eWalkableAreas);
player.Walk(x, y, eNoBlock, eWalkableAreas); // Seems to fix a bug where it cancels out early if you're already moving
// Wait for release of mouse button
while (player.Moving && (mouse.IsButtonDown(eMouseLeft) || mouse.IsButtonDown(eMouseRight)))
{
Wait (1);
lblActionText.Text = Game.GetLocationName(mouse.x, mouse.y);
}
// Abort moving on new mouse down
while (player.Moving)
{
if (mouse.IsButtonDown(eMouseLeft) || mouse.IsButtonDown(eMouseRight))
{
player.StopMoving();
player.ActiveInventory = null;
cancelled = 1;
}
else
{
Wait (1);
lblActionText.Text = Game.GetLocationName(mouse.x, mouse.y);
}
}
// A counter measure in case the function doesn't run correctly.
if (player.x != x || player.y != y)
{
//player.Say("I am currently at X:%d Y:%d", player.x, player.y);
//player.Say("And I'm supposed to be at X:%d Y:%d", x, y);
cancelled = 1;
}
mouse.ChangeModeGraphic(eModeWait, 0);
lblActionText.Text = "";
return !cancelled;
}You just throw that into an If statement, and there you go.
Something like this:
if(move_player(248, 178))
{
player.ChangeRoom(2,7,75);
}It would be nice if there was a function that already did this though.
but when it comes to drawing, getting those angles of objects in a room to a better state will improve your stuff immensely. Take it from one that used to draw "by feel", now i'm much more proud of the bakgrounds.
