Nevermind, I used tintscreen with 1 in each of the categories and it worked beautifully. Thanks for the help.

Tint screen changes it to just one color and I need it darker because the player will be exploring around the area while its darker.  Ill check out the flashlight plugin though.

Im trying to make it look like the power has cut off so everything is darker.  I know how to make the characters darker but I dont know how to make the rooms darker short of making 15 new rooms which would take up way to much space.  Is there any way I can just make the entire room several shades darker.

How exactly would I make a countdown timer like at the top of the screen counting down from 10?

Thanks

Thanks for the suggestions.

This isnt a scripting question but a question on any good methods to make sounds.  should I actually mimic the action and record the sound to then be played.  The main problem I am having is with different footsteps (carpeting, tile, etc.,) however I am also not sure what do to for the sound of someone being stabbed considering I haven't recently stabbed anyone.  So if you all have any suggestions it would be appreciated.

This game was actually inspired by the chzo mythos (Defoe quadrilogy) but the original story I had changed drastically.

Its seems that I was off on the estimation of when this would be complete as its my first game.  I apologize but I will try to get a new date of release as soon as possible.

-Thanks

Alright thanks for the help.

If there is a way to do this ignore my post.  I think there should be an easier way to make a character face a direction like

cCharacter.FaceDirection(DownRight);
instead of having to do the facelocation or character.

I think there should be a way to check and change what the variables are set at so that testing games can be much easier and you wont have to go through the game all the way to get to a scene your working on.

I just want to know if having a lot of global variables could become a problem and if so how many would be a problem?

I know how to make footsteps have sounds using the sound on frame option, however I have no idea how I can change the sound depending on the room.  I think theres a way to change it and I would just have to put it in the on room load section of events but im not sure how to even change the sound file used for each frame.

it didnt change anything.  The game still usually runs fine but sometimes it messes up.

What I mean is that every so often when the game is in full screen mode the top 3/4ths of the screen is black and the bottom section is visible.  Then I minimize the game and bring it back up and the whole screen is visible.  This wouldnt be a problem except the starting screen is black and the text is in the middle so you will miss the intro if it shows up like that.

The resolution of the game is 320 X 200
Color depth is 32-bit.
I am using no filter.
I have yet to see a problem with running it in windowed.
Graphics driver and directX are fine.

Sometimes when I compile my game and run it in full screen most of the screen is black and i have to minimize it and bring it back up to see the whole thing.  Any idea how I can fix this or is it just a common AGS thing?

Thanks Ben304

Instead of changing the variable I just added a +1 to the timer so its always at least 1.

Alright, I had it going great with this script
  if (lightning == 2)
      {
        int RANDOM = Random(10);
        SetTimer(2, RANDOM * 24);     
        lightning = 1;
      }
      else if ((lightning == 1) && (IsTimerExpired(2) == true))
     {
      windowlightning.Visible = true;
      Wait(5);
      windowlightning.Visible = false;
      lightning = 2;
        }

But after the lightning goes several times I wait 6 seconds which should be the longest wait between lightning strikes and nothing happens.  I waited a few more minutes and its not flashing anymore lightning.  Not sure why it would stop executing.  It is under repetedly execute.

Thanks for your help
