The only problem I have with doing that is that the window is animated (rain) and if its a character or object its going to be much more difficult to animate.  Although I could probably make an object that was white that fits the window and make it visible/ invisible, one question though.  How many objects can there be in a room before it causes problems. (I already have 8)

I just set up the room to have lightning and it calls the script at the right times, all I need to know is how do I have it actually show the lightning.  I already have an animated background so I cant use setbackgroundframe, and I already tried using regionlighting and regiontint.  So what should I use to change the window to white momentarily?

Does he only disappear when he is in a particular x,y location or no matter where he is when you are using the optional x,y coordinates.

Are you sure the only code your using is changeroom, and is it possible the character is accidently behind a walkbehind or a large object?  I dont see any reason why the character could become invisible by itself.

Alright thanks for the help. I always though sprites located by their bottom left pixel.

In one of the scenes for my game there were 6 people all sitting around a table then giving  toast and drinking from a glass of wine.
Im posting this to see if anyone knows a better way to do this.  How I did it was I set up for each of the people a new view with four different directions and for each of their movements I had them face a different direction.  Unfortunately they bounced aroud the room a little bit because they were all different sizes and I ended up takeing a section of the background with teh characters there and then having each frame be the same size.... This was very time consuming so I was wondering if anyone had any idea of a simple way to do this.

Im going to try to fill in any places that are too empty but not too much

Well, I cant be sure of when I could have this project done as its my first project and I want it to be great but I would guess that I hope to have it done or close to completion in a little over a month.

My name is Nathan Carter.  
Though... My current associates know me only as Arthur Barrington.
Im a con artist and the person I am working on now could be my biggest job yet. After this I hope to retire.
You see Victor Samuels a rich entrepreneur is having a dinner party with his closest friends tonight and I happen to be among that company.
As far as I can tell there is a decent chance that something illegal is going on at his company and blackmail is my specialty.
I should be able to search the house tonight when the opportunity presents itself and hopefully it wont be long till I get my reward.  
This may sound corny but this should be a night to remember.




Nathan may have understated just how much of a night to remember this will be but then he doesn't know whats going to happen does he?  Everything goes well and then something goes horribly wrong that puts the lives of Nathan and all the other party guests in danger (and perhaps a few others) and he has to rely on his (or rather your) wits to make it through the night.

Comments and criticism welcome

EDIT: I realized I haven't credited the people I'm working with.  My brother does the art (he isn't on AGS) and Something13 is doing the music.

Thank you so much for your help I checked the views for the characters and one for some reason had lost its sprite (not sure how) but anyway I can now actually work on this.

-Thanks again.

Alright I got it on rapidshare.

Anybody have any idea what i should do?

I tried uploading it that way it didnt work.

Its under a rep_exec and it checks for five different variables for the script.  The thing is it was working fine for a few weeks and I was just going through that room to check another section of the script and it messed up there, so I still dont know what went wrong.

Edit:  I found the file but i dont know how to upload it.

The actual section of the code that it messes up at is

wait(50);
cNathan.ChangeRoom(9, 134, 156);
Im not sure if its crashing at the room change or right before it but the screen definately fades out before it crashes and it doesnt fade back in it just closes.
As for the crash fileI'm not sure where to find it I looked but I have no idea where it could be.

Hey I was working on my game and I was checking to see if I had done the scripting right and out of nowhere the game closed itself and this appeared:

---------------------------
Illegal exception
---------------------------
An exception 0xC0000005 occurred in ACWIN.EXE at EIP = 0x004230B8 ; program pointer is +72, ACI version 3.12.1074, gtags (66,17)

AGS cannot continue, this exception was fatal. Please note down the numbers above, remember what you were doing at the time and post the details on the AGS Technical Forum.



Most versions of Windows allow you to press Ctrl+C now to copy this entire message to the clipboard for easy reporting.

An error file CrashInfo.dmp has been created. You may be asked to upload this file when reporting this problem on the AGS Forums. (code 0)
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

I checked in my script to see if that was the problem and I dont see anything wrong and I dont even remember changing anything there before I started testing it so I think it could be a bug in AGS.

If anyone can help me out please let me know soon so I can get back to my game.

-Thanks
