Ok! i save my walkbehinds as a 256 color bitmap in mspaint...and i only use black and grey colors. when i try to import them AGS still says there are invalid colors etc. What is the problem? should i save them in another program or?

Hey that´s a nice improvement i'll stick with that one. thanks a lot

yes that´s very true...i just need to know if the armmovement is good enough?...i'll get to work with the other stuff later on

Ok this is what i came up with...i just can't get it better...frame 4 is the one i'm having most trouble with...can someone pleeeease help me with this one? I'm going crazy here paintovers are more than welcome

Thanks for your replies. The reason why some things has black outlines is becuase i took them from one of my older gameproject that never became anything...and after adding them to my new project i just forgot about the outlines...gonna fix that. As for the perspective, I don't see that much of a problem but your advice will help me in future bg's I think...I'm really glad you seem to like it overall though, gives me a little more strength to carry on this oneman project

Here's my idea of the bad witch/troll thingie for my game...i also included a few screenshots. what do you think?

Ah yeah i tried that before and didn't get it to work...probably missed something. works now. Thanks for the quick reply

ok this is in the globalscript and no problems here, but AFTER all that scripting i want to be able to use other stuff on the character...on the next screen for example he gets a shovel and if i use that on Ego i want him to say something like "No i can't use that on myself" what should i script? the else if doesn't seem to work...and i'm new to scripting so a little help would be very nice hehe....so...I need help to be able to add more stuff that can be used on my character


function cEgo_UseInv()
{
if(player.ActiveInventory == ibook){
  cEgo.LockView(4);
cEgo.Animate(3, 1, 0, eBlock, eForwards);
cEgo.UnlockView();
  cEgo.FaceLocation(cEgo.x -10, cEgo.y);
  Display("Let's see what we have here");
  cEgo.LockView(4);
cEgo.Animate(3, 1, 0, eBlock, eForwards);
cEgo.UnlockView();
cEgo.FaceLocation(cEgo.x -10, cEgo.y);
  Display ("Hmm...I recognise Grampa's handwriting. He actually managed to translate this");
   cEgo.LockView(4);
cEgo.Animate(3, 1, 0, eBlock, eForwards);
cEgo.UnlockView();
cEgo.FaceLocation(cEgo.x, cEgo.y +10);
  Display ("This spell opens a gate to another world. I've never spoken these words out loud");
  Display ("Who knows what might happen? Whoever's reading this...Be extremely careful");
   cEgo.LockView(4);
cEgo.Animate(3, 1, 0, eBlock, eForwards);
cEgo.UnlockView();
cEgo.FaceLocation(cEgo.x, cEgo.y +10);
  Display ("Ah get real gramps...don't say you actually believed in this?");
  cEgo.Walk(282, 401, eBlock);
  cEgo.FaceLocation(cEgo.x, cEgo.y +10);
  Display ("Here goes nothing");
  Display ("in circulus vitiosus,  abiit, excessit, evasit, erupit");
cEgo.Transparency = 100;
object[3].Visible = true;
PlaySound (4);
object[3].SetView(5, 3);
object[3].Animate(3, 1);
object[3].Visible = false;
Wait (40);
cEgo.LoseInventory(ibook);
cEgo.LoseInventory(iKey);
player.ChangeRoom(2, 200, 580);
}

So here she is, my cow hehe. What do you think about it? it's a work in progress...having the tail move is quite obvious and maybe a belt or something around the cow so the wagon looks more attached to it.





And here´s a quick update

ah missed that...thanks works now

function room_RepExec()
{
if (!done && object[0].Frame==10) {
    PlaySound (3);
    object[0].Visible = false;
    cEgo.Transparency = 0;
    done = true;
  }

Error line 13 "undefined symbol done" I'm quite new to this scripting stuff as you can tell

function room_AfterFadeIn()
{
Wait (50);
object[0].Visible = true;
object[0].SetView(5, 4);
object[0].Animate(4, 2, 1, eNoBlock);
if (object[0].Frame==10) {           
PlaySound (3);}
object[0].Visible = false;
cEgo.Transparency = 0;
}

Now the animation don't even play just skips to everything after that

This is what it says now...it's another thing...i want it to play a sound instead when the animation plays frame 10 but it doesn't work

// room script file
function room_AfterFadeIn()
{
Wait (50);
object[0].Visible = true;
object[0].SetView(5, 3);
object[0].Animate(3, 0, 1,  eNoBlock);
if (object[0].Frame!==10) {            (Parse error in expr near object)
PlaySound (3);}
object[0].Visible = false;
cEgo.Transparency = 0;
}

i tried to type frame = 3 too but nothing happens until the animation is finished...and i want it to happen on frame 3 as i said

Ok! Here's my problem...when my character reads a spell in a book an object starts animating...no problems there...but when that smokeanimation reaches frame 3 i want the character to disappear. I looked through the forum but couldn't find an appropriate answer. This doesn't quite work
Here's when the animation starts...could someone please help?

object[3].Visible = true;
object[3].SetView(5, 3);
object[3].Animate(3, 2);
if (object[3].Frame!=2) {
"Character disapperars"

Here's a slightly updated version...hope it's better

Trting to make a digging animation for my character...I'm not satisfied with this one...any suggestions? i know that the shovel needs work...i'm talking about the animation in general...something i should change?

i know but that´s not the issue...i need help with the arms only right now

Here´s the latest addition. Oh these arms, they are driving me crazy hehe. I´m desperate here

Here´s a version of my little guy walking. I´m not really satisfied with the arms...if someone could correct them for me i´d be most grateful
