You give us the link - we can play!

[RestartGame();]

I think there's an easier way to delete all inventory items, but it seems you're confusing something here:

The ResetRoom command just resets the room - data, objects, scripts. Inventory items have nothing to do with that. What you're looking for is RestartGame();

Btw: You have a strange way of writing down the script, I noticed that earlier

Currently your else statement is called whenever this isn't true:

Code: ags

if(player.HasInventory(inote2)){
  gprofnote.Visible=true;
}

Everything else isn't taken into account. Instead of

Code: ags

if..
if..
if..
if..
else..

you need to use "else if":

Code: ags

if..
else if..
else if..
else if..
else..

I don't know if that is your problem, but it seems to be.

Sorry, I didn't notice that you already mentioned the idle view. But I don't really get your problem. Regarding your blob example: Why not make a jumping movement view and an idle bouncing view? What do you mean with idle-idle?

This is quite possible, look up "idle view" in the manual. You can assign an idle view to characters and set how often it should animate (e.g. repeatedly).

NICE!

I really liked the old demo and I was disappointed about the lack of news about the game, but caught some interest again when I saw FoY in your Signature.. and now this!

Can't wait to see what changed and I really like the screenies so far. Thanks for this gift. 

Both links work fine for me..

Most of the movies I'd recommend were already mentioned, but I want to add The Green Butchers and Adam's Apples by Anders Thomas Jensen. They don't have much in common with your favorites, but they're both worth watching and at least Adam's Apples could have some sort of "psychological impact" on you.

Also, you started a new thread despite the fact that there already is one.

Anyway, happy new one, y'all.

Another prime example of why first games shouldn't be published.

That's not a good rule. theo's TJD wouldn't have been published then  Also, a second game can be as crappy as a first game..

Games that are really just a learning experience to get used to AGS, without any good gameplay shouldn't be published.

Gosh, this is too much info for today. I'm out.

Freeware only?

Not necessarily.

It sounds like Windows Movie Maker should do the job if you just want simple transitions and super simple (and non-professional) drag&drop-style editing plus music.

Ah, Movie Maker, I remember using it some years ago. But as far as I remember, it was too simple and unprofessional. I'd prefer something a bit more advanced.


Thanks, Inc, I'll try that out.

I recommend checking out this thread and some of the programs mentioned there:

Edit: It doesn't matter whether you're new to AGS or not. When it comes to graphic software, it depends on what style or techniques you have... if you're totally new to drawing itself, well then you should just check out some programs and tutorials and draw!

Can anyone recommend me a simple and easy video editing software? I don't need anything fancy, I just want to cut, copy and paste video snippets, make some transitions and put music in the back.. so yeah, something simple.

I checked out  some programs half a year ago or so, but every one of them had some annoying limitations/flaws or was confusing in some way, so I didn't use any of them.

Let me google that for you..

And this one too.

Very cute indeed. Good luck with it!

I'll merge all the code this evening and release all 3 in 1.

Splendid! I'm waiting for that.

[game.inv_activated] is the item the player last clicked, so something like this should work:

if (button == eMouseLeftInv) {
  cEgo.ActiveInventory=inventory[game.inv_activated];
}

I'm not completely sure as I'm not too familiar with custom inventory stuff, but I think it should work.

The item 

cWhoever.ActiveInventory = iWhatever;

So during a WHILE loop, absolutely nothing happens that is not inside the loop, i.e. the game is frozen until the loop is done?

Yep.
