No worry my friend!!

if ((button == 4) && (game.top_inv_item < game.num_inv_items - game.num_inv_displayed)) {
// scroll down
game.top_inv_item = game.top_inv_item + 1;
}
if ((button == 5) && (game.top_inv_item > 0)){
// scroll up
game.top_inv_item = game.top_inv_item - 1;
}

button4 is supposed to be the previous button and button 5 the next one. Note that I just changed the programming of the default code to scroll the inventory, so instead of scrolling a whole page left or right it just scrolls one item  

Yeah! I just made my first helpful (towards somebody) post! I'm not a newbie anymore!



EDIT: Well, I started to write this post before I read the other answer . It just took me a while to write the code down and check it, that's all...

Hi ya all,

As you can see from the subject I have trouble with my custom inventory. You see, I've been trying to make it suit my fancies for a week and still I didn't complete it all.

You see, it took me six days to realise that ProcessClick doesn't work on GUIs and four days to realise I had to use LEFTINV or RIGHTINV (and not left and right), and many other stuff. Now I can (finally) pick up an item with left click and bring the verb coin on right click in inventory.

So, what is the trouble now? Well, you see, I noticed that the default inventory goes away when I do somethind and waits until it is finished and after that it brings the inventory back on. How do I do that? I tried many ways, including the Wait() function but still I didn't get it to work right.

Another thing: @overhotspot@ doesn't work properly in inventory windows. I mean, the label with @overhotspot@ shows "key" when the cursor is over the key item, but the "key" word does not go away unless I press the mouse button anywhere except on an item, leave the inventory area or put the mouse cursor above a different item. Why does it work that way?

Anyway, these are my main problems right now. There are some more small problems but I think I can handle them myself.

Any help is appreciated

Hi there!
You are from Polland... I'm Greek, so what:P? I suggest you should read the tutorial that comes with the program, download other tutorials and visit these forums regularly (you don't have to post, just read them to learn from them). I am a newbie as well, but I've been working with AGS for a week and I can do loads of great stuff now. It's very easy to learn, as long as you want to.

Thank you very much. I'll check it out.

Well, I know I must search before I post. Infact, I did try out that Q&A site in that other post and the search feature, but I guess I didn't put the right words in. I asked something like "MI 3 Gui" with different formats.

>>>>Stay away from my girlfriend.
Ok, I'm sorry. I won't do it again

Thanks again,

Greetings,

I am a new AGS user and I've found this cool engine almost accidently. I was going to create my game with harder tools which would take too much time. I was lucky to find this great tool for doing exactly what I want to do.

My game is still in design progress, but I won't show anything yet unless I have something cool to show. I just want to ask some n00b questions:
a) Is it possible to make a Gui exactly like the one in Monkey Island?
b) Is it possible to make a Gui on and not interrupt (pause) the game? If so, how?

I am not *that* n00b, ya c I managed to do some cool stuff by messing around. I managed for example to make a custom inventory appear/disappear with the right click, but what I don't know (and I guess it is something very advanced) is how to bring up a small GUI when I click an object/character/hotspot/item with all the possible interactions (Use, Examine, Talk and maybe more) and then when I click that interaction it does it on the object. I hope you understand what I mean. If you don't, then I mean something like the GUI of Monkey Island 3 or the GUI of Gabriel Knight 3 (only in 2d mode).

I don't want you to write for me a whole tutorial (unless that tutorial already exists) on how to make that, I just want to know some useful tips or something like that, or at least tell me if it is possible at all.

Thank you,
Guybrush Peep... errrr... Threepwood
