Hey,

I've decided to give this a try too. And Rocco, I'm using one of your modules - so at least there's a little team spirit outside the games

Im glad to hear, that the moduls are usefull somehow. 
but i unfortunatly guess, that i cant come up with something until 25th november.
i discovered this thread too late, and had no time this weekend to work on the game,
so time is running out for me. 

like this robbery themes very much.
i made similar rules, a few years ago -> http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=13652.0
oh man 5 years, time is running like hell. 
so maybe i will give it a try, but  i struggle a bit with the teameffort.
lets see...

please use another filehoster, this one sucks completly. 
I had 30 min and want to try this game, but after i entered my emailadress (which i dont like to do, cause im afraid of spam)
nothing happens.

big thx, with the import addition, all works fine. 

RPG.ash script

Code: ags

struct Roc_Struct_RPG
{
   String name;
   int money;
   int searching;
   .
}; 

import Roc_Struct_RPG thief;

I recognized strange behavoirs with my struct.variables.
i use modules and structs.

Code: ags

// RPG.ash
struct Roc_Struct_RPG
{
   String name;
   int money;
   int searching;
   .
};  

Roc_Struct_RPG thief;
export thief; 

Code: ags

//RPG.asc

function game_start() 
{   

  thief.money = 1000;
  thief.searching = 5;
  
} 

now i try to use that vars and get strange results,
when i use the vars in the RPG.asc file, all is fine the values are correct,

Code: ags

RPG.asc
player.say("My Money = %d", thief.money);   // value ist correct

but when i try to use the vars in another module or the room scripts.

Code: ags

othermodule.asc
player.say("My Money = %d", thief.money);   // value is wrong (always 0) 

Code: ags

roomxx.asc
player.say("My Money = %d", thief.money);   // value is wrong (always 0) 

i get vars with value 0.
what is wrong in this case?

Yes, i prefer to have the ammount of money in the rpg-struct, and i also found that approach with player.InventoryQuanity
much more uncomfortable, so decided to lean on this approach from Khris -> http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=31554.msg405532#msg405532

and the main purpose of my function is the player search handling, the money and inv transfer is a additional thing and not the main purpose of that function, and fortunatly this case is solved now and works fine, so thx for your help. 

http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=23696.msg295237#msg295237

Yes thx this is a workaround that works fine for me. 

Code: ags

  function Func_Roc_Searching(int money, int inv)
 {
   if(inv)
   player.AddInventory(inventory[inv]);
   
   if(money)
   GiveMoney(money);
   
   PlaySound(4);
}

I have no idea how could possibly convert a String containing the script name of an InventoryItem into the actual script object.

I have this function;

Code: ags

  function Func_Roc_Searching(String loot)
 {
   if(String.IsNullOrEmpty(loot))
   { }
   else  
   {
     int value;
     value = loot.AsInt;
       if(value)
       {
         GiveMoney(value);
       } 
       else
       player.AddInventory(loot);  // <- here is the problem
      
     PlaySound(4);  
   
   } 

....
}

[walkable areas, hotspots, and regions]

please increase the ammount of possible walkable areas, hotspots, and regions.
I work on very large rooms and have to deal with the limits very often.

bigthanks, works perfect.  

a little dirty tweaking, cause the character dont stand always on the exact position

Code: ags

function repeatedly_execute() {
  if (!__arrived && (player.x == tgx || player.x == tgx+1 || player.x == tgx-1) && (player.y == tgy || player.y == tgy+1 || player.y == tgy-1)) {
    __arrived = true;

alsothanks NsMn  

thx, Khrismuc - It works fine for the main task, but i get a negative sideeffect,
the normal walkmode dont work anymore.
the player only moves when i click on an hotspot, and not when i click in walking mode on the floor (with walkable area)

thx NsMn - with your approach i have to call an additional function every time when a hotspot or object is clicked, i want to avoid that.

must be easier, cause with this approach i need to save and check thousands of walkpoints 

i need more walkable areas, so i suggest to increase the limit of walkable areas and maybe regions.

i have several rooms and walkable areas (hope the limit for them increases soon) in one game-room,
so i need an easy way to find out, if the player has reached his walking goal, to perform several actions,
otherwise the actions must be canceled.

Codeexample:

Code: ags

function oMoneybox_AnyClick()
{

  player.Walk(875, 655, eBlock, eWalkableAreas);
  player.FaceDirection(eDirLeft);
  
  
  if(mouse.Mode == eModeInteract) 
  {
   ..........................
       
  }  
  else if(mouse.Mode == eModeLookat)
  {
   ............................       

  }
  else if(mouse.Mode == eModeUseinv)
  {
   .............................. 
   }  
  else
  player.Say("Das funktioniert leider nicht.");

}

Fight Game was a topic of a coding contest a few years ago.

maybe you can extract some useful bits, or contact some developers to upload there sources again:

ohh therefore is the helpfile, big thx. 

Im wondering, cause i have set a walkable area:
RemoveWalkableArea(3);
but when the player leaves the room and come back again, he can walk on this area.

So i have to watch manually over the state of the Area and switch it off and on during roomchanges.
Is this behavoir normal?

Its really great, the shooting control is catchy with a good learning curve.
very well thought out.
I guess i must borrow your controling concept for other purposes and adapt it for me. 

As i worked on my C64 Project, for the MAGS Contest Retrofest -> http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=35278.0
and searching for a cool SID-Music, i stumbled over the group 20CC and get in touch with Falco Paul.
if you are interested you can find his email-adress here: http://20thcenturycomposers.blogspot.com/2006/06/in-remembrance-of-edwin-van-santen.html
there music was great, you can listen to it here: http://www.foad.net/asd/music/sid/20CC/
