Look Into My Eyes:  You Are Feeling Sleepy Part II?   

Congrats Hector.   

Our Charly?

Sorry Cassie, I was busy yesterday and today.   

The bool variables seems to work nicely, thanks.   

I just came across a problem in my game that didn't occur to me before.  Hope I can explain this clearly. 

There are 5 characters, and I have to perform a task for each of them.
When I complete the task, they give me a verbal clue, which is going to be for a later puzzle (eg, I will have 5 verbal clues).
The trigger for each verbal clue is:
   I give an item from my Inventory to the character. 
  Then they give me a certain item in return. 
  Then they tell me the verbal clue.

The thing is... my Inventory is frequently changing. 
The item I give to the character, obviously, leaves my Inventory.
And the item the character gives to me, changes when I complete the next task.

So when I've done the task for Character 2, I no longer have the 'trigger' item from Character 1, because that item has changed.
And without the 'trigger' item, the character won't say the verbal clue. 

Is there a way round this?  Can I somehow make the characters say their verbal clues, even when I don't have the 'trigger' item anymore?
Something like... "Well, I did give you the item, so here is the verbal clue again."?

Or is my only option to remove the verbal clues and abandon the later puzzle? 

Eternal Sunshine?

Dream For An Insomniac?

Played the English demo - loved it!   
And great to know it will be DRM-free.
Backed it, of course.

Good luck with the Kickstarter.   

Critters 2?  Right at the end?

Vincent, THANKYOU!  That works!

It may be easy for some, but I've been really struggling to understand the counter. 

I've been at this for hours, and I'm STILL confused.   

Each radiator had a "RadiatorsOnNumber ++;" code when you interact with it, which I changed to "RadiatorsOnNumber +=1;"
I took the int RadiatorCount out of the Global Script, since I think the Global Variables thing should make it work anyway. 

I changed the code to:

Code: ags

function room_LeaveTop()
{
  if (Game.DoOnceOnly("RadiatorCount"))  {
    GiveScore(1);
  
  if (RadiatorCount < 8)   
  
   
  if (RadiatorCount)      
  Display("RadiatorCount"); 

  if (RadiatorCount == 8) {
   player.ChangeRoom(13, 583, 400);
}
else player.Think("I can't go up there yet.  The manager won't let me.");
}
}

It doesn't hang anymore, which is good.  But it won't let me go up the stairs either. 

I tried adding a Hotspot, and then used the same code if you Stand On Hotspot, but that has no effect on anything. 


Any other suggestions?

I'm very confused with the Variable Counter commands. 

I have a long corridor, with stairs going up to the 1st Floor. 
Now I don't want my character to climb up the stairs until he has turned on 8 radiators on the Ground Floor (the radiators are in several different rooms). 

I created a Global Variable (Type Int) in the Global Variable section.
I added int RadiatorCount; to the Global Script.
And I added the following to the Room (in this case, the hallway) script:

Code: ags

function room_LeaveTop()
{  
 if (RadiatorCount == 8) {
   player.ChangeRoom(13, 583, 400);
}
else player.Think("I can't go up there yet.  The manager won't let me.");
}

Now it doesn't seem to make any difference if I turn the radiators on, or not.
The player walks onto the stairs, and says "I can't go up there...', then the game hangs. 
I have to quit with Alt & X.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Can we buy this upgraded version DRM-free?  Please don't make it steam-only.

Ahh, I hadn't noticed all the different versions of the ('). 

Yes, I had been writing it in Word, and then copy & pasting into AGS.  Word must be using a funny (')
I went through it all again, and re-did the (') directly into AGS, and it works now!

Who'd have thought a tiny little symbol could cause so much hassle?

Thanks everyone.   

I'm having a problem with the dialogues. 

When I 'build' dialogues in the editor, everything looks fine.
But then, when I Run the game to test it, the apostrphes (') are missing.
See Options 1 and 3 in the screenshot.

But it's not with every dialogue line.  Just some of them.
Why is this happening?  And how do I fix it? 

Thanks.

Congrats Shaun   

I like it.  I think it's really good.  Especially all the wee arches on the roof.   

Sorry, I can't 'critique' it, cos I don't see anything wrong with it. 

*passes the torch to Lorenzo* 

Played it. 
LOVED it!   

Excellent story, with lots of funny dialogue and amazing art. 

Can't wait to see more of it.   

I hid the name at the top.
