yes in repeatedly execute...The first example used to work in the previous version but now i get an error message that says Error (line 4) undefined symbol 'speech'

Hi..I want a drunk to talk in the background without pausing the game. I don't know what the problem is since this worked in the previous version of AGS. here's the code for it...it seems like the "speech" commandÃ,  doesn't work anymore...what should i do instead?

if (speech != null) {Ã, 
if (!speech.Valid) {Ã,  Ã, 
string text;
int rand = Random(10);
if (rand == 0) StrCopy(text, "Oww...");
else if (rand == 1) StrCopy(text, "My head hurts...");
else if (rand == 2) StrCopy(text, "I shouldn't have drank that last beer...");
else if (rand == 3) StrCopy(text, "I feel like I'm going to puke...");
else if (rand == 4) StrCopy(text, "Where am I?...");
else if (rand == 5) StrCopy(text, "Hic...");
else if (rand == 6) StrCopy(text, "Who are you?...");
else if (rand == 7) StrCopy(text, "I'm tired...");
else if (rand == 8) StrCopy(text, "I should eat something...");
else if (rand == 9) StrCopy(text, "Are you my mommy?...");
else if (rand == 10) StrCopy(text, "Where's my house?...");
speech = cDrunk.SayBackground(text);
Ã,  Ã,  }
}
else {
Ã,  string text;
Ã,  int rand = Random(10);
Ã,  if (rand == 0) StrCopy(text, "Oww...");
Ã,  else if (rand == 1) StrCopy(text, "My head hurts...");
Ã,  else if (rand == 2) StrCopy(text, "I shouldn't have drank that last beer...");
Ã,  else if (rand == 3) StrCopy(text, "I feel like I'm going to puke...");
Ã,  else if (rand == 4) StrCopy(text, "Where am I?...");Ã, 
Ã,  else if (rand == 5) StrCopy(text, "Hic...");
Ã,  else if (rand == 6) StrCopy(text, "Who are you?...");
else if (rand == 7) StrCopy(text, "I'm tired...");
else if (rand == 8) StrCopy(text, "I should eat something...");
else if (rand == 9) StrCopy(text, "Are you my mommy?...");
else if (rand == 10) StrCopy(text, "Where's my house?...");
speech = cDrunk.SayBackground(text);Ã,  }

I also tried this but then he toggles between the different lines so fast you can't read it

int blah = Random(5);
if (blah==0) cDrunk.SayBackground("I have absolutely nothing to say to myself");
else if (blah==1) cDrunk.SayBackground("I hate this place");
else if (blah==2) cDrunk.SayBackground("Why do I always get myself into trouble?");
else if (blah==3) cDrunk.SayBackground("Did you know that swedish girls are very easy?");
else if (blah==4) cDrunk.SayBackground("Boooooring");
else if (blah==5) cDrunk.SayBackground("I don`t want to waste time talking to myself");   A little help please ...I'd really appreciate it

And was this the picture in the newspaper?

Ok, It was just a joke.

Haha great picture

Unless it's meant to be a joke, the sign should be "serial killer" (not "cereal killer").

I know it's called Serial-Killer but Cereal-Killer is more fun

It's just the character that's been ripped not the backgrounds. And we are going to use those screens, but we won't use the character. And the font is terrible i know. It won't look like that in the actual game

Style is good, main character seems out of place. Did you rip that sprite?

yes that character is ripped...we just use it for trying stuff in AGS as i said...we won't use that one in the actual game

Hi this is our first game with the working title "One hell of a day" excuse me if my english isn't perfect.

The story is about a high school slacker. One day he has detention, but instead of reading his homework, he walks to the occult section in the library and reads a book. The part he reads sends him to another dimension, and he needs the very same book to get back to his own world. Finding it won't be that easy though since it belongs to the game's bad guy...

Here are some screens




You can expect a lot of weird and sick humour, hours of gameplay. lot's of funny characters to interact with. NOTE! The game will NOT feature Bud Tucker as you see on the screens...we just use that character for now to try out stuff in AGS. We are working on our own character

Progress
Story 90%
Graphics 20%
scripting 0%
puzzles 5%

Thank you...actually I'm using Click and create (Games factory) to do the graphics...I tried to shade him a little and here's the result

yes i agree...but i'm not that good at drawing, but somehow i managed to do the face pretty good...it seems harder doing the clothes...I don't ask for you to do it for me of course but maybe you could show me a few tips on how to shade clothes etc.
thanks

i've made a character for my game...maybe you could come up with some ideas how to improve it...i made two versions of it which should i stick to? it's supposed to be a guy selling newspapers

It makes me think "The Simpsons" every time I see this.

If that's the case it's great...since i really love the Simpsons hehe...

Thanks for all feedback guys

H!
This is a graveyard I've been making..It's not really done yet but...what do you think about it so far?

amazing!!! absolutely amazing

No the screens are NOT from asterix comics hehe even if you think so...thanks for giving me critic..it helps

I like the character it looks great

Yep! the comiclook is the style i like

Thank you very much It takes time though...I wish someone had told me that hehe

Thank you I'm not so good at animations though hehe...I hope someone can help me with that

No it's when i uncheck the box the picture becomes so big. when i check the box that says "run in a window" the picture looks fine BUT when you run it in a window it won't maximize the window and that bothers me. Fullscreen mode makes the picture gigantic.
