Hi everyone.
I'm having a ''Walkto'' problem in my game.
I have created an "object" which is a closed door.
Now on other mouse clicks such as "Lookat", "Interact" and "speek" I used the ''move character'' and "Face location" to walk right up to the door and face it.
However I can't do this with "Walkto" and I am finding that when I click the "Walkto" cursor on the door my character 9 times out of 10 stands in the wrong place and facing the wrong direction. Is there a way to rectify this.
I did look before posting and found a few entries to do with "Walkto" but not the same prob as mine.

Thanks.

 I always wanted to see KISS live but never got the chance to. :'(
So you are not going then?
If you know anyone who is then get them to take a camcorder then you can post their performance.
and remember - God gave rock and roll to you!!

Its all CRAP!
Just another way for stores to make more money with stupid cards, fluffy bears (With hearts), chocs and wine or champagne.
I don't mind the wine or champagne but stick the rest up yer a....nyway
It's just another day like a birthday or christmas.
All CRAP!
If the person your with doesn't know that you love them.
Then tell em more often!

Ooops!
Sorry.
Couldn't find anything when I looked. Now all becomes clear. Thank you.
Also I thought that this was the correct forum as it was only a general question.
Sorry if I was wrong.

Hi guys and Girls.
I was just wondering if at some point there maybe a way to create a game using a resolution of 1024x768.
would this not give us a way of making much more detailed backgrounds and characters.
Just a thought.

Hi all.
My brother bought ''Anacapri- The dream'' and is most upset cos there are no voices in the adventure mode.
He does however get a guides voice in the exploration mode.
His OS is V...V...Vista!
Myself and other more intelligent folk, within my family, who run XP have no problems with sound whatsoever.
Can anyone make a suggestion as to how this problem could be rectified please.
Oh just one more thing the background music plays fine and even fades slightly when someone is supposed to talk, but that is where
the problem lies as there is no speech.
Thanks.
Jay.

Hi all.
Tis me again!
Sorry to be a pain.
I am having another prob with my game.
Is there a way to get a button (object) to appear in random cords on screen for only a few secconds.
I would like it to be clickable, but random, so as when you play the section of game again the button appears in a different place each time.
I would like it so that if you do not click the button in time then you DIE! Ha Ha ha!

I hope you can help. Thanx.

I'm sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place.
But I assumed that it would be to do with scripting!

I've never been good at insulting people.
You poopy headed dropping of a rats anus.

It's sooo spooky!
but I agree with you again Vict0r.
I do not see the resemblance either.

Could it be that finally I've met someone who thinks like me?
Hhmm....Are you also in a padded room?

I find that my Big Blue Cup is mostly full of Jack Daniel's.
It helps me think of sureal Situations.
Can't imagine why!

I agree with Vict0r.
Twas Shite!
However opinions vary.

Everything is ok....I hope.
I didn`t have to download anything.
I just went to the site, clicked what I wanted, and presto, a new page opened up with a serial number.
I wrote it down and typed it into photoshop elements when prompted.
Thanks for the warning though and the suggestion of P2P software.

OOooh! It worked.
Thankyou all for your help.
And thankyou Lionmonkey. I typed in exactly what you wrote within Google and got a serial number with minimal effort.
However. If I wish to register with Adobe will the serial number I now have cause problems?

Jay.

Hi.
I don`t know if anyone can help but here goes.
I received a copy of adobe 'Photoshop elements 2.0' in the software bundle that came with my laptop.
I never bothered using it cos I use Jasc 'paintshop pro 9' but I keep hearing people rave about photoshop.
This is my problem. On inserting the disk I was horrified to be presented with a box to enter my serial number into.
I know I had the serial number on the cd sleve but I think I may have inadvertantly....um....um....thrown it away.
This must have happened when I put the disk into a hard case for my cd rack.
I've been to the Adobe web site but no joy.
Can anyone help me get it working.
Thanks Jay.

Hi everyone.
Is there any way to get more colors for the fonts.
I know how to change the colors within AGS but the color I seek tis not there.
I have tried all colors within the editor but all look ....well....Wrong!

Jay.

Hi.
Just one question. Looking through various posts I have noticed people talking about RawDraw.
What does this mean?
Is it another way to draw 'Sprites' or 'Backgrounds'.
I am interested cos some of my 'characters' do tend to look a bit 'boxy' when I draw them and place them in my game.
My Game is a 640x480 game and I use Paintshop pro 9.

Any help would be nice.
Jay.

Hi.
Thankyou very much Khris.
Your code DID work, as I'm sure you already knew, It was my mistake.
This is how I Got it to work, with your help:

CODE:
    // script for Hotspot 2 (button): Interact hotspot
  object[3].SetView(4);
//interact button
if (oScreen.Frame==0) {
  // open screen
  object[3].Animate(0, 8);   
}
else if (oScreen.Frame==8) {
  // close screen
  object[3].Animate(0, 8, eOnce, eNoBlock, eBackwards);
}

It all now works perfectly.
yet again Thankyou very very much for your help.

P.S. The smiley cool face in the code is supposed to be 8 followed by a closed bracket.

VARIABLES!!!.......What the hell are those......
I did say that I am learning.
I have managed a few bits of scripting to get me out of tight spots by reading the tutorials and help files.
If that doesn't work then I find that Harsh language and someone to beat helps.
Being sensible now. Thanks for your help, KhrisMUC, but it hasn't solved my prob.
It didn't work or I have done something wrong. I personaly would go with the latter.
All I have done is to create two hotspots on the control panel next to each other labled "OPEN SCREEN" and "CLOSE SCREEN" with a reason
as to why you should close the screen before continuing.
Yet again thankyou for your prompt reply.

P.S. sorry I didn't say that I'm learning. But infact I am learning......Something like that anyway!

Hi everyone.
I have been doing very well with a project I started recently but have now hit a brick wall.
In my game I have a control panel that has a button on it to open a viewing screen. I set this as a HOTSPOT.
Interacting with it runs my small animation and the screen opens. GREAT!
Here is the prob. I now want to be able to interact with the same button again to close the screen. This is where it's going wrong!
I have been doing fairly well with scripting and have managed to get some tricky things sorted on my own.
However this prob has me scratching my head.
Please help me then I can surge ahead.........Hopefully!
Thanks.

Hi Guys.
Sorry Ashen but for some reason I can`t seem to post images.

However due to the very helpfull posts I think that you ALL have solved the problem for me.
It does, as you all so rightly say, appear to be an 'even coords' problem.

Thankyou very much.
