Unless I'm missing something and you really do want external files for some reason, then it sounds like you want a struct. (Search that in the help file for more information).

Basically, declare a struct like this in the header:

Code: ags

Struct CharacterAttack {
  int bite;
  int uppercut;
  int lowblow;
  String name; // this is completely unnecessary but might help you remember who is who.
};

CharacterAttack CAttack[9]; // replace 9 with the number of characters you want less 1, as the first one will be character 0.

Then, in the main script, you can define all the values:

Code: ags

CAttack[0].bite = 10;
CAttack[0].uppercut = 15;
CAttack[0].lowblow = 15;
CAttack[0].name = “Scott”;
CAttack[1].bite = 12;
CAttack[1].uppercut = 13;
CAttack[1].lowblow = 17;
CAttack[1].name = “Phil”;

And so on until you have reached the right number of characters.

Then where you are coding the attacks, if Scott is using an uppercut you can get the value simply by putting:

Code: ags

CAttack[0].uppercut

…in the relevant place.

Dear MT

You are kind of like the weeping angels out of Dr. Who because whenever I see you you are still as a statue but have moved.

WHAT ARE YOU UP TO WHEN MY BACK IS TURNED?

M, conclave tonight, bring fwet kash.

Marie laveau is a pretty cool guy eh makes gris-gris and doesnt afraid of anything

Perhaps I am misunderstanding what you are trying to do but wouldn't it be simpler just to use the one room and then removing and restoring the walkable area across the lake depending on the character view?

Code: ags

function room_Load()
{
  if (cEgo.view == 1) RestoreWalkableArea(4); // replace 4 with the number of the walkable area over the lake
  else RemoveWalkableArea(4); // again replace 4 as above.  
}

I agree with much of what has been said above regarding layout, here is a complete rubbish 1 minute edit:



The only other comment I would make would be whether to strengthen the contrast between Ord's dreary city on the right and the fantasy world on the left by making it more colourful/saturated on the left?

A door?

Lots of great entries, but my votes go to:

1. Ghost
2. Hobo
3. Eric

Well done to everyone. Lots of chuckles, particularly the invisible sword of invisibility!

The only thing I will add is it might be a good idea not to make it look too much like another famous music publishing company's logo!



It's just the initials and "&" on the same line in some of them, made me think of Booseys straight away.

                                     
                                 
                                
                                     
                               

“Ah… yes… about that… Unfortunately THE ULTIMATE SWORD OF WANTON DESTRUCTIONâ,,¢ was taken by Sir Dennis of SpiritOcean upon his graduation.”

“Well, what about the fearsome blade DOOMSTICK?”

“Alas, that too has gone, given to Sir Ray Partenaire-de-vie! But fear not my young apprentice, I have procured for you no lesser foil than the ZOOMSTICKâ,,¢!



Forged by Master Smith Maid-de-Lyons its icy bite is renowned throughout the lands as a thing of beauty and power. Plus it gives you something like +20 ice damage and a cold blast spell on a throw of 12 - pretty sweet huh?

Use it well young apprentice, use it fairly, but above all else, use it quickly.

Also I would probably head north if I were you, a long way north.”

Had a good time yesterday, some interesting talks, good games to look at and it was cool to meet some forumites in real life too!

Just wish I could go back today as well

I don't know if this is a good place for it but I am in need of help so I ask, as the thread title says. I have a question for English native speakers. What does "ice" stand for? Apart from the obvious frozen water. I know it could also mean metaamphetamine and diamond jewelery. But what else? The sentence is:

"I also really need someone to bring ice. I had a sign-up sheet at the gathering and nobody fucking chose ice. What's the big deal? Come on, somebody. Be a rock star. Own it. (pause) Ice, out."

The only other use I can think of for Ice (which doesn't fit the context anyway) is as an acronym for "In Case of Emergency". A few years ago there was a thing about having an emergency contact number on your mobile phone saved as "ICE" so people knew who to phone.

However, in your example above, the guy is clearly wandering around with Ned Stark's sword!

>ASK JESTER who seeks audience?

ASK Jester for this KEY he keeps talking about.

Seconded Thirded Fou... well you get the idea!

Just a quick silly one...

Something had gone terribly wrong with the canine Portal halloween costume!

...a US state with a common name...

Indiana Jones presumably?

Is this mystery 90s guest the bloke from Knightmare?

That would be the most incredible thing ever!

Actually thinking about it, why has no one tried to make a Knightmare Adventure Game? Or if they have why have I never heard of it!

Quoth the server, "404"

Very nice!

A bit Poe faced though. (ba dum tish).

You can also find "Yesterday" and "The Last Express" on Google Play.

There is a free version of Yesterday (with ads) that I still haven't played and TLE is about £3.

There's Broken Sword 2 on there also.

Also why not download SCUMMVM and replay some classics?
