I looked there even before but the only one I saw was "Automatically walk to hotspots in Look mode". But by default it was set to false and I'm not even using the look mode so I'm guessing it's not the one I'm after

Ok, I've also noticed that when I removed the walk() function from my event handler the character was still walking up to the hotspot (only hotspot). So I removed walkTo coordinates of the hotspot and now everything works as intended. Is there a way to disable the automatic walking to the hotspots even if I want to specify walkTo points?

EDIT: Shoot! I'm sorry but I've put this topic in the wrong section... Could someone mightier than me move it to the Beginners' Technical Questions?

Hi,
Am I right to think that AGS handles interactions with hotspots and objects differently? I've got one function which is called when the player interacts with either a hotspot or an object. To my surprise, when I click the object all instructions in the function are called in order but when clicking the hotspot it's not the case. First the walking function is triggered and then all the rest. I'm guessing it's got something to do with blocking mode? Could anyone point me in the right direction how to work around it?
I'm using a clean template in version 3.5.0 P2.

Code: AGS

//my function called when interacting with both the object and the hotspot
function cf_handle_elevator_interaction()
{
  if(!elevatorDoorsOpen)
  {
    hijackOverMouse = true;  
    sayTextAsTypingMachine("I need to get to floor one. I'm afraid though that the sysetm might have been messed up again.", cLeszek);      
    cLeszek.WalkStraight(528, 270, eBlock);
    oElevatorDoors.SetView(4, 0, 0);
    oElevatorDoors.Animate(0, 3, eOnce, eNoBlock, eForwards);
    elevatorDoorsOpen = true;
    hijackOverMouse = false;
  }
}

//event handlers
function hElevatorButton_Interact()
{  
  cf_handle_elevator_interaction();   
}

function oElevatorDoors_Interact()
{  
  cf_handle_elevator_interaction();    
}

Dzięki, ale boję się, że żona na to nie pójdzie

You helped me to solve my problem: I couldn't locate where Ś,ś,Ż and ż should be placed

I'm more than happy to hear you find it useful.
Funnily enough, when making the font I was also using the chart you posted here https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=57465.msg636611226#msg636611226

shouldn't it say "another there is"?

A new hint for you guys:

LSL 6: Shape up or slip out

Nope

It's a game which in my opinion was of a proper length (if I'm not mistaken it might be even longer than Broken Sword 1). The setting is a wacky world with plenty of weird characters. Here's another one:

Laura, I wanted to write "A Room Without You In It" but then I realised it's not the "name the game" thread

Yeah, sorry for the delay

Following suit, here is a cropped image from the game

Having enjoyed Metaphobia, I am really looking forward to your next game. Is it going to be a commercial release?

If anyone fancies an old-school RTS, Total Annihilation is up for grabs for free on GOG.

You can use negative values

Did not know that! Thank you Laura

Hi Snarky, thank you for the quick response.

I'd already tried it and the problem is that by applying delay to each frame individually I could only slow the animation down, while what I need is to speed it up.

Hi,

Is there a direct way to control the speed of the idle animation? I've checked all (or most of) the tabs in the editor and looked it up in the manual but couldn't find any information about it.

I'm guessing I could always trigger the animation "manually" with character.Animate() and then apply the delay I need but I'm still wondering if there is an easier way to do it.

Alphaville

That was quick
Your turn lorenzo!

Was there any liquid drunk after taking the pills by both persons?

If the problem with making a game is coming up with a story, I have two sets of story cubes. I can roll them for you and post the outcome. This would hopefully give you a rough idea what the game should be about
