I'm not sure if i should be posting this here so feel free to move if not.Ã, 

I can script all the buttons on the inventry (MI2 Template) ie Push, Pull etc..

The problem i have is that say i have 1 hotspot (say a rock) and 1 object (say a stick) in a room, what i would like to happen is that the player has to push the hotspot(rock) then displaying "the rock has moved abit " then allowing the player to pickup the object(stick) is this possible?

And if it is possible, then could you please help

I'm using ags version 2.7

thanks inadvance.

I'm trying to setup my splash screen menu so when a player wants to watch the intro again they can via a button. And when this finishes they are returned back to the splash screen menu. eg...starts on room2 and finishes on room4 to go back to room1.

Here's my code so far it that helps (i'm using ags version 2.7)

//    Splash Screen
if (interface == SPLASH){
      
      if (button == 1){ // Play Intro
      StartCutscene(2);
      player.ChangeRoom (2);
Ã,  Ã,  EndCutscene();
// Allowing player to watch intro again.
// needs to stop at room 4 and return back to Splash Interface (room1)      
Ã,  Ã,  }      

      if (button == 2){ // New Game
         player.ChangeRoom (2);
// Starts from beginning (including Intro Scene)
Ã,  Ã,  }

Ã,  Ã,  if (button == 3){ //load Game
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  GUIOff(OPTIONS);
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  GetLucasSavegameListBox(RESTORE,1);
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  GUIOn(RESTORE);
Ã,  Ã,  }
Ã,  Ã, 
Ã,  Ã,  if (button == 0){ // Quit Game
         QuitGame(0);
      }
   }

Thanks inadvance

I had another look at the global script for the "int chartofollow" and i didn't find any other reference,
but what i did notice was that in the function there was "int charidtogo"

and i was wondering if placing this in the script header instead, as this was missing?


function GoToCharacterEx(int charidwhogoes, int charidtogo, int direction, int xoffset, int yoffset, int NPCfacesplayer, int blocking){
Ã,  //Goes to a character staying at the side defined by 'direction': 1 up, 2 right, 3 down, 4 left
Ã,  //and it stays at xoffset or yofsset from the character. NPCfacesplayer self-explained.
Ã,  // blocking: 0=non-blocking; 1=blocking; 2=semi-blocking.
Ã,  // returns 1 if player arrived.
Ã,  int playerchar,charidx,charidy,playerx,playery;
Ã,  if (charidwhogoes!=GetPlayerCharacter() && blocking==2) blocking=0;//npcs cant perform semi-blocking actions
Ã,  playerchar=charidwhogoes;
Ã,  charidx=character[charidtogo].x;
Ã,  charidy=character[charidtogo].y;
Ã,  playerx=character[playerchar].x;
Ã,  playery=character[playerchar].y;
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  int arrived = 1;
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  if ((Offset (playerx, charidx) > xoffset) || (Offset (playery, charidy) > yoffset)){
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  if (direction==0){ // shortest way.
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  if (Offset(charidx,playerx)>=Offset(charidy,playery)){ // left or right
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  if (playerx>=charidx) direction=2; //right
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  else direction=4; //left
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  }
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  else{
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  if (playery>=charidy) direction=3; //down
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  else direction=1;
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  }
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  }
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  // calculate target position
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  if (direction==1) charidy-=yoffset;
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  else if (direction==2) charidx+=xoffset;
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  else if (direction==3) charidy+=yoffset;
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  else if (direction==4) charidx-=xoffset;
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  // move character
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  if (blocking==0){
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  MoveCharacter(playerchar,charidx,charidy);
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  arrived = 0;
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  }
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  else if (blocking==1){
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  MoveCharacterBlocking(playerchar,charidx,charidy,0);
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  arrived = 1;
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  }
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  else if (blocking==2) arrived = MovePlayer(charidx,charidy);
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  }
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  if (arrived > 0){
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  // characters only face each other after the moving character arrived at the target point
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  if (NPCfacesplayer==1)Ã,  FaceCharacter(charidtogo, playerchar);
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  FaceCharacter(playerchar, charidtogo);
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  }
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  return arrived;
}

Many many thanks the template works a treat.

What i'd like to know is how "int chartofollow" works as there is no direct reference in the function?

Thanks again

Hi i'm having problems with the Proskrito's MI2 templatev2.0c working with ags version 2.7, i've renamed the gui,objects and hotspots which is ok.

The problem i have is now with line 445:
Function declaration has wrong number of arguments to prototype.

"function GoToCharacterEx(int charidwhogoes, int charidtogo, int direction, int xoffset, int yoffset, int NPCfacesplayer, int blocking){"

following Gilbot V7000a advice i found in the script header it was referring to

46: import function GoToCharacterEx(int charid, int direction, int xoffset, int yoffset, int NPCfacesplayer, int blocking);
47: import function GoToCharacter(int charid, int direction, int NPCfacesplayer, int blocking);

Any help would be grateful
Thanks in advance

Ps My first post i placed in the wrong thread by mistake as i had both opened

Bit of an update i think the problem was with the 'GoTo' command as i changed the line:

From
function GoToCharacterEx(int charidwhogoes, int charidtogo, int direction, int xoffset, int yoffset, int NPCfacesplayer, int blocking){

To
function CharacterEx(int charidwhogoes, int charidtogo, int direction, int xoffset, int yoffset, int NPCfacesplayer, int blocking){

And also the line:
From
GoToCharacterEx(GetPlayerCharacter(),charid,direction,defaultxoffset,defaultyoffset,NPCfacesplayer,blocking);

To
CharacterEx(GetPlayerCharacter(),charid,direction,defaultxoffset,defaultyoffset,NPCfacesplayer,blocking);

Don't know if this is correct or not, but it seems to work

I'd like to start with that *raises hand in the air* by saying that i am quite new at this, only 3 weeks.

I started with version 2.62 and using Proskrito's MI2 templatev2.0c which works fine, i then downloaded version 2.7 with the same template and got the gui,objects and hotspot global errors which i have sorted out.

The problem i then got was with:

Line 445:Ã,  Function declaration has wrong number of arguments to prototype.

function GoToCharacterEx(int charidwhogoes, int charidtogo, int direction, int xoffset, int yoffset, int NPCfacesplayer, int blocking){
Ã,  //Goes to a character staying at the side defined by 'direction': 1 up, 2 right, 3 down, 4 left
Ã,  //and it stays at xoffset or yofsset from the character. NPCfacesplayer self-explained.
Ã,  // blocking: 0=non-blocking; 1=blocking; 2=semi-blocking.
Ã,  // returns 1 if player arrived.
Ã,  int playerchar,charidx,charidy,playerx,playery;
Ã,  if (charidwhogoes!=GetPlayerCharacter() && blocking==2) blocking=0;//npcs cant perform semi-blocking actions
Ã,  playerchar=charidwhogoes;
Ã,  charidx=character[charidtogo].x;
Ã,  charidy=character[charidtogo].y;
Ã,  playerx=character[playerchar].x;
Ã,  playery=character[playerchar].y;
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  int arrived = 1;
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  if ((Offset (playerx, charidx) > xoffset) || (Offset (playery, charidy) > yoffset)){
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  if (direction==0){ // shortest way.
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  if (Offset(charidx,playerx)>=Offset(charidy,playery)){ // left or right
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  if (playerx>=charidx) direction=2; //right
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  else direction=4; //left
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  }
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  else{
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  if (playery>=charidy) direction=3; //down
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  else direction=1;
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  }
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  }
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  // calculate target position
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  if (direction==1) charidy-=yoffset;
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  else if (direction==2) charidx+=xoffset;
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  else if (direction==3) charidy+=yoffset;
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  else if (direction==4) charidx-=xoffset;
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  // move character
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  if (blocking==0){
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  MoveCharacter(playerchar,charidx,charidy);
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  arrived = 0;
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  }
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  else if (blocking==1){
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  MoveCharacterBlocking(playerchar,charidx,charidy,0);
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  arrived = 1;
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  }
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  else if (blocking==2) arrived = MovePlayer(charidx,charidy);
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  }
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  if (arrived > 0){
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  // characters only face each other after the moving character arrived at the target point
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  if (NPCfacesplayer==1)Ã,  FaceCharacter(charidtogo, playerchar);
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  FaceCharacter(playerchar, charidtogo);
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  }
Ã,  Ã,  Ã,  return arrived;
}

So i deleted this Function which then gave me the following error message

Line 500:Ã,  Wrong number of parameters in call to 'GoToCharacterEx'

GoToCharacterEx(GetPlayerCharacter(),charid,direction,defaultxoffset,defaultyoffset,NPCfacesplayer,blocking);

So i deleted this Function aswell then the template worked ok.

So i was wondering what exactly these functions did and are they important or not, in that can i get away without needing them?

Thanks in advance.
