I feel like this should probably be pretty obvious, but I haven't been able to find the answer anywhere on the forums/Google.

Is there a way to tell the game to 1) turn off an object and 2) play a sound file during a specific frame of animation? e.g., I have a continuous animation of someone picking up a spray bottle (bottle turns off), spraying himself (spraying sfx), and putting it back down (bottle turns on).

Many thanks to anyone who can offer their sagely advice!

Please, just no crate puzzles! ANYTHING BUT CRATE PUZZLES.

Deponia's on my list to check out, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. I'd definitely like to toss in a recommendation for The Whispered World if you haven't played that one yet, though; it's one of my favorite adventure games from the past five years.

Sheesh, I hope he was a troll; otherwise, you're all a bunch of jerks! Jerrrrrrks!

I was thinking about this the other night and I thought of something cool. At the $50 donation (hypothetical), you can name an item or character no matter how crazy (as long as it's not copyright) to appear in the game in our "donation museum". Then have a particular "planet" the player can go to (by using the ship's controls) that has all of the user added ideas in one location. We would program & voice lines and reactions to each item when the character looks at them. It would obviously take some extra artwork and character reactions but it could be a fun and funny addition to the game as well and a way for the contributors to have a piece of the games history.

LT, that's ADORABLE. I'd definitely be interested in supporting that (and, as a player, in checking it out, too, to see what people came up with!).

T-shirts! One of the few Kickstarter campaigns I've backed, I've done so because I could get 1) a copy of the game, and 2) a t-shirt. Even if the game stinks, the shirt is bright orange and awesome.

I'd like to toss in a vote for The Whispered World as a more recent adventure game, too.

Phew! I'm glad I could be of assistance! You never know if you're gonna get a response like yours, or some grumbling about "nitpicking" and "grammar Nazi" and "this isn't English class."

Looks great! I love the 2D Portal cube.

Question: Would it be annoying or helpful if I pointed out that there's a typo in the third screenshot?

I does look an awful lot like "Ron Gilbert does Trine"--which, don't get me wrong, is an AWESOME concept--so I'm not sure why he's trying to trick people into thinking it's not a puzzle platformer...

It is--thank you!

Wow--thank you for doing this! I can't wait to see what comes of it.

Oh, I'd gotten that far--but there's no option on this particular GUI screen for changing the size, so I thought Kris might've been talking about something else that I'm not familiar with (something that WOULD allow me to directly increase the size). Thanks for the tip about using [; that might just do it.

I dunno! I don't have a ton of experience working with AGS yet--I've set up a couple simple screens with basic interactions, but nothing more complicated than that. I guess I just didn't realize that scores could be represented by images; I assumed it was text only.

I did create my own GUI inasmuch as I clicked "New Text Window GUI" and went from there...but I'm guessing you mean something more complicated than that. Ah well--it's probably not critical.

Wow, thanks! I'd assumed it wouldn't be possible. I'll play around with this and see if I can't get it to work!

I feel like I'm missing something really obvious here. Is there a way to set a Text Window GUI to a standard size, rather than have it conform to the length of the text?

Thanks.

Hey, here's a quandary: Does anyone know if there's a way to display score as a series of tick marks? (i.e., 1 is one vertical slash; 3 is three vertical slashes; 5 is four vertical slashes and one horizontal slash?; etc.)

I set up a GUI to display score on what sort-of looks like a chalkboard, and I was thinking that using tick marks to display the score itself would really help sell the image. But...I can't think of a way to actually do that, unless there's a font that could display numbers that way (and even if there was, it probably wouldn't work when you got to two-digit numbers, since they don't have their own unique symbols.)

Thoughts, anyone?
