Random thought. Try a wait(1);

Code: ags

 ShakeScreenBackground (4, 10, 80);
wait(1);
  srSetSnowDriftRange(20, 80);
  srSetSnowDriftSpeed(20, 80);
  srSetSnowFallSpeed(50, 200);
  srChangeSnowAmount(120);
  srSetSnowBaseline(150, 200);
  srSetSnowTransparency(50, 60);
  srSetSnowView(1,              0,              73,       1);                          
  srSetSnowWindSpeed(35);
  srSetSnowAmount(400);
  srSetSnowAmount(0);
  Display("The large chunks of ice missed you by inches!!");
  srSetSnowView(0,              0,              51,       1);  
wait(1);

Also after looking at you Display line. Do you have one big piece of ice that you want to fall only once?

Thanks I will try this now.

Also I didn't mean to bump my topic.

Code: ags

//===========kind_id===event(always 0)===== view ==== loop ===
  srSetSnowView(0,              0,              73,       1);                          
srSetSnowView(1,              0,              73,       1);
srSetSnowView(3,              0,              73,       1);

Change them to this.

Hey is anyone going to the PAX east convention thing?

1)Ok so that's why it wasn't working.

2)I guess I could try an do that. How ever wouldn't it work if I use a int with the label to make a countdown timer like I do with HP?

I could set it in the Rep_ex.
And when it reaches 0 I could have it check then stop and run what ever I want to run thats inside the brackets?

3)No I did not know that. I dont recall seeing it before but it doesn't matter I wont do it again.

Also there is a part in the script that I cant get. I cant put anything for when the counter time is up. I have something like

Example

if(counter.timeUp == true){



}

as you can see I just made this up but it is a example.

I keep getting errors when I try and start the game with stuff from your script.

Ok, What I need help with is ordering thing from you module in my script. does this clear things up a little.

I am using the counter script and I just dont understand it. well half of it.

Code: ags

// room script file
int playerHP = 100;//always set this here
int EnemyST = 120;//always set this here

Basically I have a gui that has a timer label on it. The timer is consider as the DOOM counter. Which means when the time runs out the music stops and the player dies. See (Part X)

Now I have messed around with it for a bit and I just do know were to put stuff.

About the avatars.

Couldn't you just set them to a specific size when they are clicked on?
It would be nice as a last minute thing.

I can do it for you before to night.

Maybe that's my coding problem! When I was told about AGS it was around 3.1 and I learned a little by editing the demo quest and watching the tutorial on youtube. However as I looked at the videos I found my self making a small game and see new things that wasn't seen in the videos.

Thats sorta what i was thinking. Peple was working on games in 2.7 and didn't switch it over to work in 3.x

also, Why didn't you make a copy of the game folder and open the copy in 3.x and test the game in there?

@Khris: When you put it like that it does sound like you have to do a lot for something so simple. 

Hum, True.

I don't think I'ma even try it because it seems like its just missing something(A lot things) that makes it AGS to me so I'ma stick with 3.2

I just thought it would be easy to make a game in there then switch it over into 3.2 an then polish everything but even saying that sounds lame.

Hum, It just looks simpler. But that probably way he called it the interaction editor.

If you were to start a game in the and switch it over to 3.2 would you still have every thing in the game?

Ahh, So that's why.

I'm not switching back to the old one but now I would like to see this "interaction editor".

I notice that alot of new games that are made was made in v2.72? Is there something better about that version?

This was quite the fun little game. Looking for word to your next one even more

Score! a new OSD. Downloading

Hey Studio3 here.

I am making a custom avatar maker as seen in the Video

I have the sprites finished and the menu Gui as well I just need some one to take a look at the layout img of the customize menu to see how I have it planed out. It's easy I just dont have the time right now to look into it.

However you will get credited for it as it's a big part in the game but a small thing to make.

P.S. The Customize menu has already been started and all you need to do Is Connect the Avatar parts Icons to the Listboxs & from there to the Avatar.

The Gui is finish you just need to add the text to global script so the options can be added to the list and I should be able to finish the last part.
