This is one of the old Backgrouds i made.





In game it dosent look to bad




 

Im looking for  Scripters for a fan game im making.  Need someone who knows about the Maniac Mansion Starter pack

Any one know anything about  the Hunter and the Timer functions in Global Script.

I found them in the Mad House Starter Pack.

Can some one start me out how they work and how to use them.

Its just a test I'm doing. But I'm trying to make it so you can Talk to NPC by typeing useing the Text parser It works real good But
only if one NPC is in the room at a time if not they both talk   GRRR

I been working on this for a few hours

When 2 NPC are in the same room   both say someing and i only Want  one of them to talk to me The NPC thats in Dialog Mode:

here some code


   #sectionstart dialog_request  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE


function dialog_request (int param){ 



if(cSyd.room)  // If your in the room  And what Char you are
{
  if (Parser.Said("whats going on")) { // you Type
 
  cSyd.Say("Whats going on");  // What you say
 
 
  if(cBernhard)  // NPC just a test // i want this NPC only to talk if I'm in Dailog with him
  {
   cBernhard.Say("Nothing Much");  // what they say   
  }
 
  if(cDrfreddytest) // NPC the same // i want this NPC only to talk if I'm in Dailog with him
  {
     cDrfreddytest.Say("Takeing over the WORLD");  // and so on
     }
}

  }   





I need to state that the one I'm talking to will only talk back

Im useing 

// script for Character 106 (Dr Freddy Test): Talk to character



if(player.Room == cDrfreddytest.Room)  // All Chars
{
dDrFreddy.Start();

player.FaceCharacter(cDrfreddytest);

cDrfreddytest.FaceCharacter(player);

}






// script for Character 4 (Bernard): Talk to character



if(player.Room == cBernhard.Room)  // All Chars
{
dTalktest1.Start();

player.FaceCharacter(cBernhard);

cBernhard.FaceCharacter(player);
} 




//Cant get the [ code ] tags when posting code to work when posting

I just cant get it to work right  the Action is in the game gui but it dont work right

I  resize a few of the words on the Gui just to test it




The game script will still compile

The game will crash when i use this code that makes it crash: 

SetActionButtons (A_LOOKIN,  "a_button_lookin 9 29 30 Zz");  // what should this be set to

and it will  crash this this to SetAlternativeAction (location, 'j', A_LOOKIN);

My first Maniac Mansion game will be called

Maniacs Mansion  Terror of the Tablet


Im planing to make other games depending on where the plot go and how the game ends

Like  Maniacs Mansion  Attack of the Mike and Ikes  and  Maniacs Mansion  Hell Bound

All so i Like to make some spin offs like  Maniac Trailer Park  dealing with other crazy Edsions.


I need some help with names 

I was going to use    Weird Terry : Eds brother ,   Grampa Stinky: Dr Freds dad,   Uncle Meat: Ednas Brother 

I dont know what i want to do its kinda silly using  Ged,  Red,  Bed,  Ded,  Sped,  Med, I dont know


For terry i would use  Weird Sped Edsion


 





 

want to move a object to one point in the room and back to the same place it was when you click on it



// script for Object 1 (Poster): Look at object  // just experment
int pos1;
int pos2;


if (pos1==0) {
object[1].SetPosition(438, 111);
pos1=1;
}

 
if (pos1==1) {
object[1].SetPosition(379, 118);
pos1=0;
}

In the MMM starter pack whats  all the invtory, chars, globles messges named dummy do


what dose this do  why is there stuff named dummy

I need to upgrade the MMM starter pack  from 2.7 to 2.72


this 2.7 version has door fixs and selecting chars


How hard is this to do


I need 2.72 so i can use new plugins and mods

SetDoorStrings ("That's a door.", "The door is locked.", "I cannot open the door with that item"); 

if (any_click_on_door_special (27, 0, 152, 80, DIR_UP, 28, 172, 118, DIR_DOWN, 72, 44, 1, 2) == 0)
Unhandled ();


I can open the door one time then i close it then it will be locked

in the code what dose the 27 and the 0 do.   

72, 44 are sounds. 1 is the item use to unlock it  2) == 0)  should this be 2 I'm not sure i want to make it you can only open it with a key

How do i make the edsions take the player to the dungen or to other locations???


I have no idea how to script this please help

if ( ( GetGlobalInt(54) == 0) && ( GetGlobalInt(58) == 1) ) {
  if (UsedAction(A_LOOK_AT)) {
    if(MovePlayer(270, 96)) {
      FaceDirection(GetPlayerCharacter(), DIR_UP);
      Display("Light Switch.");
    }
    else Unhandled();
}
else if (UsedAction(A_USE)) {
    if(MovePlayer(270, 96)) {
      FaceDirection(GetPlayerCharacter(), DIR_UP);
      PlaySound(66);
     // ObjectOff(1);
      SetFlashlightDarkness (GetFlashlightMaxLightLevel ()); 
     SetFlashlightBrightness (GetFlashlightDarkness ());     
      //LoseInventory(2);
      //AddInventory(1);
     

SetGlobalInt(54, 1);
      SetGlobalInt(58, 0);
   



    }
    else Unhandled(); 
   }
   else Unhandled();
