Good luck with your game

I noted that a vixen is going to play the main character in a game that takes place in a zoo...? There should be some explanation why some animals end up in zoos while others dress like humans and can talk.

My sister commented on that, too. I might just give up the furry character, which is sad because I think furry characters are more fun to do...

I want to make a game called Clarisse the Snoop. It goes like this...

Clarisse the Snoop (Clarisse Richards) applies to work at Picture Perfect Times, a newspaper publisher that take pride in their faultless pictures in the news since the 1980’s. Clarisse grew up respecting their works and swore to be one of the greats. In 2006 at the night of April 14th, Clarisse receives a letter that says although her resume is solid; they still have doubts, so they put her to the test. There was a disturbance at a local zoo and if she got a picture of the scene, she would be in. She grabs her late father’s camera and heads to the zoo. She heads to the entrance but is immediately stopped by the cops and is told to move along. She instead sneaks in the zoo and finds a man dragging the body of a dead lion. She follows him. She can hear chanting at a distance and see the body of the lion on a pentagram symbol on the zoo’s walkway. She takes a picture of the site but the flash startles the unseen man who yells that the spell isn’t complete. The cops arrive to the scene to see Clarisse and tell her put her hands in the air. Just then, an evil aura surrounds the lion and makes him undead. The cops shoot the lion several times but the lion lunges for the cops and proceeds to rip into them. During the hassle, the unseen man runs away in terror. The lion then focuses on Clarisse who makes the decision to run, as well. She loses the lion by quickly ducking into the security office. She thinks that despite the fact that she got the picture of the site, she needed more evidence to make the story complete, plus if the lion escapes the zoo, it could be disastrous. She plans to look around the zoo to find the culprit who brought it back from the dead and, if possible, find a way to destroy the lion.

Yeah, I know it needs work, but I've been very bored lately. I love to draw and design but I suck at coding at all accounts. I'm going to try to play with AGS but I don't know how far I'll go...Wish me luck.

Thanks and sorry...

Oh oh...New problem...

Overlay*Rock=Overlay.CreateGraphical(200, 145, 45, true);

Wait(5);

Rock.X=121;

Rock.Y=126;

Wait(10);

It seems when I make this command it shows in one place then quickly the other. How can I make it so that it moves smoothly to it's destination?

I did this using an Overlay:

Code: ags

        Overlay*o=Overlay.CreateGraphical(320, 0, 381, false);
        int x=301;
        int y;
        while(x>=159) {
          y=35+((x-240)*(x-240)/64);
          o=Overlay.CreateGraphical(x, y, 381, false);
          Wait(1);
          x-=2;
        }
        player.Walk(173, 148, eBlock);
        Wait(10);
        PlaySound(4);
        o.Remove();

You move it by recreating it at another position, and in the end call .Remove() to make it disappear.

Ah, this explains everything! Thanks!

Ok, ok. But let's say that I want my character to throw a rock. After my use the rock inventory item and character makes a throw animation, how can I make the rock appear and should it be a character or an item?

I want to make an object/character/item appear in one point of the room, move it to another destination, and then disappear once it reaches it's destination. Please help.

I think the problem is you have to rename it to "Sound2.xxx" (and put it in the Sound folder of your game)

Oh...Hehe Thanks. [SOLVED]

Sorry for the noob question but I'm really stumped.

I want to play the sound file "Item2" so I put:

PlaySound(2);

But it won't play...

I know I'm probably supposed to rebuild VOX files but where do I go to do that?

Please help.

Sorry to bring it back up but, I'm still confused. How do you make a title screen to pop up then a menu to ask to make a new game or load one?

First, the title screen, I made a title picture but how to put it in?

How can I make a title screen?
