Nice work, kaio. But I second what GarageGothic said about the hat. It looks weird on the poster and therefore it looks weird in your work.

Yeah, I used the import-export commands now, but I would have prefered to do that via the global variables pane. Importing and exporting 17 variables (at once) is a bit annoying.

But thanks anyway..

It seems that gobal ints can't be arrays. Is that true? That would be a pity.

Thanks, that works.

The only thing is that the "Gui" in GUIControl has to be written in capital letters in order to be recognized, but I could figure that out myself. 

Sorry, perhaps I'm just too tired... but:

I want to check if the mouse is over a certain GUI-Button (cause then a label with a description should appear). I only found solutions for either other locations (hotspots, regions etc.) or for GUI-buttons when a mousebutton is pressed but that's not the case.

I guess GetAtScreenXY could help but I admit that I don't quite understand that command.

So any help is appreciated.

Dualnames, I think he's looking for something else. I hope I haven't messed up things so this will work:

Code: ags

if (character[0].y > 131) { // character is standing in walkable area 1
  character[0].Walk(127,131,eBlock); //walk to door from walkable area 1

  if (GetGlobalInt(28) == 0) { // if the Globalint is 0 (the default)
      SetObjectView(3,2); // open door view
      SetGlobalInt(28, 1); // set GlobalInt to 1 so the door will be closed next time
      RestoreWalkableArea(2);
  }
  else if (GetGlobalInt(28) == 1) { // if the Globalint is 1
      SetObjectView(3, 3); // closed door view
      SetGlobalInt(28, 0); // reset GlobalInt to 0 so door will be openend next time
      RemoveWalkableArea(2);
  }
}
else { // character is standing in walkable area 2
      character[0].Walk(127,92,eBlock); //walk to door from walkable area 2

  if (GetGlobalInt(28) == 0) { // if the Globalint is 0 (the default)
      SetObjectView(3,2); // open door view
      SetGlobalInt(28, 1); // set GlobalInt to 1 so the door will be closed next time
      RestoreWalkableArea(1);
  }
  else if (GetGlobalInt(28) == 1) { // if the Globalint is 1
      SetObjectView(3, 3); // closed door view
      SetGlobalInt(28, 0); // reset GlobalInt to 0 so door will be openend next time
      RemoveWalkableArea(1);
  }
}

Try that out and let me know if it worked. Note that you have to post the removewalkeablearea code int the rooms before_fadein section according to what area the character is walking on first.

* Did you use reference stickman/character while making this room? The sizes of everything seem to be a bit off. I mean, imagine character using the door and then same character attempting to sit by desk. I suggest to take good, long look at this matter.

I don't think the sizes are significantly wrong. The desk almost reaches half od the door. I just looked at my door here and it's easily three times larger than my desk. In fact I think the sizes are almost perfect.

But agreed to the other points and yes, the colors are horrible. I'd become crazy sitting in a room which walls in these green and blue colors. The grey ceiling is very weird too.

Well, you can't simply post a picture here which is actually located on your harddisc. You need to find a host to upload the image. The second point is that you need to post the file extension of the image too.

Do you mean cNpc.x / cNpc.y?

Exactly.

Character.GetAtScreenXY won't check just the character's feet but the whole sprite.

Ah, right. Sorry.

Btw: Why isn't there a character.xy command for NPCs?

If the area ist rectangular it's not too complicated. Let's say the area should reach from x=100 and y=100 to x=200 and y=150 then you could do the following:

Code: ags

// top of the room's script:

int aim_x=100+random(100);
int aim_y=100+random(50);


// repeatedly execute:

if (Character.GetAtScreenXY(aim_x, aim_y) == cWalkingGuy) { // checks if the character has reached his temporary goal
  aim_x=100+random(100);                                    // if so, new coordinates are set
  aim_y=100+random(50);
}

cWalkingGuy.Walk(aim_x, aim_y, eNoBlock);

I haven't tested this though, but it should work that way.

It looks a bit strange because the trunk suddenly ends and three branches are coming out. Make the trunk larger so that it disappears in the treetop.

Wow. That smiley's beer gets refilled just when it's half-way through. Very practical..   

I keep thinking people are talking to me, when it's the other Matt!

Well, that's not as confusing as it is to me..

...but note that the character's speech view isn't shown when using saybackground. You could bypass that by activating and changing the character's idle view I guess.

My brother needs the mac binaries too. A new link would be cool.

None...

* Added support for running normal scripts as part of dialog scripts,  and thus obsoleted the run-script, dialog_request business

Hey, thanks for that. The dialog requests always annoyed me.

I hate Tom Cruise intensely.

Hey, you're not the only one.

Oh my god are you making a Fallout game?

by the way, i'm not doing a fallout adventure, this is just practice

So I guess, no. But I would be interested in that too.
