The problem was the value of the mapYOffset variable wich now is the Y coordinate of the last button visible per default in the map of the game.
It works like a charm now. Thank you very much, Krhis!

Thanks, Krhis. But i have not clear how to do it. After three games I'm still a little noob with code.

I have some buttons of places hidden at game_start. I defined a variable called mapYOffset in a global variables tab. And when a character say to the the player where to go i put your code:

Code: ags

      btn_diner.Y = mapYOffset; // position button
      btn_diner.Visible = true;  // turn it visible
      mapYOffset += 15;  // increase y offset for next button

But the button doesn't appears. I guess i´m doing something wrong. But... what?
Sorry for bothering you for something so seemingly simple.

Hi! I have a world map that looks like this:



The places to go are buttons. Is there any (easy if it's possible) way for them to appear listed as you discover them?

Based in your idea i tried to do a simple thing. I preload a fullscreen black object and a View with progressive transparency animation (eNoblock)  to zero. While this happens, NPC turns around and the player doesn't notice it.

I know it''s not an elegant solution,  but something like that it's what i looking for. So, thanks Eri0o for the suggestion. You saved my day.

I have several NPC walking some left to right and others right to left with this code in repeteadly_execute:

Code: ags

if (!ctrans01.Moving)
{
    if (ctrans01.x < 200) ctrans01.Walk(400, 162,  eNoBlock, eAnywhere);
    else ctrans01.Walk(-100, 162, eNoBlock, eAnywhere);

}

And i have the problem when i change room and turn back to the room with the people walking, some of them just turn around. Here´s a video:

Is there any way to prevent this?

Thanks, javixblack! The cover was made by an old friend of mine, Paco García from enComplot, one of the two developers of "Season of the Warlock":  https://encomplot.com/waldemar-the-warlock/. It's an amazing artist.

As for that puzzle:

Spoiler

Some people put the ring when entered in the locked room in the basement and some other does it more earlier. There is no order to resolve it. But maybe you're right. If i put sone object in the dark room for that puzzle, the whole of it would be more consistent. But more lineal. Pero vamos, buena obversación.

Fixed it! I will be fixing all these kinds of errors as the players kindly report me of them.

iamlowlikeyou: Initially, i wanted to write short texts for both dialogues and descriptions to better emulate the first LucasFilm games. But I also wanted to give more depth to the characters and the plot. But just like you say, that´s mainly a matter of taste. And that´s good!

Good News!



An English translation is in the works.

Peters Travers is a though guy. He can open the door with that torch without burning himself.  But, you're right. It isn't the first choice once you light the torch.

Glad you enjoyed the game, Pogwizd. True, the game is more focused on the plot. The concept of Dead Dimension is to tell a story in a sort of a visual novel kind of thing to play in a half and hour more o less. I´ve put some puzzles on it because, well, i love puzzles.

Spoiler

As for the torch... It´s a flexible inventary object. You still wear the iron bar on it if you want to open the door. None of the testers got stuck in that part. But i understand you, maybe the same thing happened to me if it wasn´t my game.  We are not used to the fact that once two objects are combined, the result have multiple uses.

I known that the lack of an english translation is a big barrier for everyone here, but unfortunately i can't afford one.
I show these games in the forum for the Spanish players and of course, everyone who wants to take a look out for curiosity.
Anyway, thanks for the comments and feels about the game!

[Spanish only]

However, all efforts have now been put towards a new unexplored universe: hidden dimensions.
Peter Travers, a prison inmate who has signed up for NASA’s interdimensional Exploration program in exchange for a sentence reduction, must now carry out a very simple task:
to traverse the first inter dimensional portal and repair it from the other side.

Thanks to everyone!

Durq: There's only a small translated section. But, an AGS forum user played the game,liked it and wants to translate it. So... stay tunned!
AnaMoon: Thanks for the gameplay!

Thanyx: In Photoshop (or similar, i guess) draw a 2 pixels rectangle with the pencil tool and select them. Go to EDIT>Define Brush Preset. Name it (i called it AGI Pencil) and... that's all. Now you have a new pencil with those characteristics.

Yes! See the Completed Game Announcements board.

Thanks Shaun and AnaMoon!

I've finally decided to launch the game for the Spanish players (and anyone who wants to check it out). As a said in other message, the game is finished since October, i'm making another one and i would like to see people paying it.  Sorry for this inconvenience, maybe one day i can update the game with an english translation. Fingers crossed!
