AAAAaaaarrrrgh!!
Please help me!
I have a room with two doors facing you on the back wall. Now what I want to do is to have the character facing forward and standing infront of whatever one he has come through when he enters this room.
The standing infront of either door when he enters this room is not a prob.
It's the facing forward part that I just cannot get to work. I'm trying to do this within "Player enters room before fadein".
I've been trying for the last couple of days with no success. I am all out of ideas.

I just know I,m gonna kick myself when I find out how easy it is.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah. Well I knew it was all a bluff really....

Actually no I didn't.
I got completely fooled on this one and I don't mind admitting it. :
When I opened AGS site and it had changed and then found out what was supposedly happening I was extremely miserable and annoyed!
I haven't touched my comp all day until now and boy do I feel stupid.

Anyway all is well with the world again. And infuture I must remember April 1st and CJ's humour!
I can now sleep soundly.

SSH.
O.K. now I know whats going on.
But there are things I don't understand "Silverlight" being just one. What the hell does it do and is it worth me downloading it yet?
And "Windows Mobile" sorry but I don't know what this is either. :
You see all I have been interested in is plodding along with my game in the hopes of someday posting it for the good people of AGS to
play and now it looks like I might not be able to. Is this so?

By the way. Why is microsofts phishing filter telling me that this site is suspicious?  It never used to.
Is anyone else getting this or just me?

Jay.

Well thats just peachy.
So now thats the death of AGS cos yet again Microsoft will balls thing right up.
A product that was easy to get to grips with and enjoyable may now be getting just a bit to complicated.
And yet again money is the root of all EVIL!!

Not that my opinion will count for much but I think It was fine the way things were and it's a shame thing have to change. :'(

Hi everyone.
Last night and this morning I have been experiencing problems accessing this beloved site.
I went to my favourites tab and clicked on "Adventuregamestudio.co.uk" as I usually do and was sent to a totally different site
of the same name where microsoft informed me that it was a suspicious site.
It said that it could be a "PHISHING" site.
There were links there to access a download of "AGS 3.0" and this is the only way I have been able to get back here.
Has anyone else experienced problems.

Jay.

Hey GarageGothic.
Yeah you were right it is the save game folder.
Sorry I was getting horribly confused the other night.
What didn't help was the other folders I have been creating for my game graphics etc.
All was rather untidy. :
But now everything is beautifully tidy and I now know where everything is and what its there for.
Thanks for your help.

Jay

Hey Nine toes.
I know how you feel. I felt the same way recently.
Nothing "did it for me" until one day whilst driving the TV remote my senses were given a good kick
up the ass from a band called "DRAGONFORCE" :o

The guitarists are out of this world, the drummer is a thunder god, and the vocalist is bloody good. Thats my opinion anyway.
Look on You Tube for "Through the fire and flames" the name of the first track on their album "Inhuman Rampage".
Mind you the video is a cut down version of the full 7 min 18 sec track.
Let me know what you think of em.

Jay.

Thanks.
I will try one suggestion.
If that doesn't work then I'll try the other.
probably not tonight now. I really must try to get some sleep.

Anyway thanks for your prompt replies.

Hi good peeps of AGS.
Last night I had a merry old time installing AGS 3 on to my comp.
WOW doesn't it look nice!!

Now the game I have been working on (with my other comp using AGS 2.72) I imported into 3.0.
A message informed me that it was an old game and would back up my game files and place them into My Documents.
GREAT!
I sorted out some bugs in my game that the debugger found and saved my game.
When I looked in My Documents I was confussed cos I have a folder labled with the title of my game but it's empty!!
The old folder I have of my game in My Docs has the backup folder and all my, I assume, new files in it.
When I click on the backup folder I find it has, I assume again, my original game files.
The thing is why have I got a new empty folder of my game and why has everything been put into my old game folder.
I've obviously done something wrong......Maybe. 

Any help would be....well....very helpfull.

Friday the 13th films.
It was terrible the way they treated Jason.
He was only doing us a service by Killing stupid teens who didn't run to safety!
And making a statement about the dangers of unprotected sex in the middle of a spooky forest.

Ooh! I got one.
send up of "Blair witch- The legend of coffin rock".
Called "Bare witch- The legend of scoffin cock".
So wadaya think?

My Brother found "Anancapri- The Dream" to be a very absorbing and entertaining game.
The puzzles were clever without being impossible, apart from one which he did have to read a walkthrough to solve.
So to answer your question he thought it was good but it's all personal taste.
He bought it from Amazon.com.

Yeah!
that would be just my luck.
Anyway thinking about it Australia sounds very nice but I can't stand very hot weather and i hate spiders.
Especially the poisonous variety that lurk around your toilet bowl waiting to bite a nice juicy ass!!

Shit!!
You live in Australia you are a woman (don't know your age).
But if you are 30-35 yrs. Send me a ticket and get me outa here!

MrColossal.
"Anacapri- The Dream" is the sequel to a game called "A Quiet Weekend In Capri".
It is made up of actual pictures from the island of Capri just off of Italy (I believe).
I haven't actually played it myself but have seen that it has rather nice scenery and some good puzzles.
If you search for it online you should find plenty about it.
They both have been made by a Father and Son.
And who knows they maybe using AGS!!

Jay.

I can't offer any advice.
But I am now worried myself as many of the symptoms you are getting sound like ME!! :o
Do you feel hot all the time when people say it's cold?
In the morning does your mouth feels like a deep pile carpet and you could drink an industrial sized vat of pepsi?
Perhaps I also should vissit the doc.
I haven't been for ages unless I have lost a leg or something!!

I hope you are O.K. and my thoughts are with you.
Please let me know how it goes.
JAY.

O.K. I been meaning to do this for a while now but only just got around to it.
The sound problem within this game, Anacapri- The Dream, when running on Vista has been solved.
Just go to the games website and download a file called "screenshot 2 package" or something like that.
Once you apply this to the game the sound works fine.
We did see this download on the games site before but didn't bother cos we couldn't see how a screenshot package
would rectify the sound but it just does!!
Sorry if I offended anyone who has Vista with my first post. It's OK I suppose it just needs to get better (That's my opinion anyway).

Thought that I would let you know incase anyone buys the game and has the same problem.

WOW!!
Thanks everyone.

It appears I started something here.
But with all of your help I am delighted to inform you that the code
Khris has ended up with works wonderfully.

I see Khris that you have made it so as you can use this with more than just one object.
FANTASTIC!!
Once again thank you all very much.

OneDollar.
You are a genius.
Your bit of script works fine. I am so happy.
My character walks up to the door exactly where I want him now.
Just one more question. Can I simply put a "Face Location" command and a "Display Text" command after your script?
Sorry to be a pain.

Thankyou.

It's a bit difficult to explain but here goes-
the walkable area goes up to the door. The door itself is quite big as it is a double door.
The problem is that if you click the Walkto cursor on the top of the door then my character walks to the far wall and faces that wall.
However if I click any other cursor on the door Then I have told my character to walk to certain coords and to face the door.
But I can't do this with the Walkto cursor.
