What's the real problem then? Just declare it on top of the script and assign its value in game_start():

ok, big thanks it works this way.

yes its a module its on top of the script, and i have no problems initializing vars with values directly,
so

float startAngle = 0.0;Ã,  <- this works
float radiance = ((startAngle-90.0) / 180.0) * Maths.Pi; <- this not

it works, when i put this in game_start, but i need them in different functions in game,
(rep_execute)

and the first test with

function game_start ()
{
float maxspeed = 5.0;
float startAngle = 0.0;
float speed = 0.0;
float radiance = ((startAngle-90.0) / 180.0) * Maths.Pi;

export speed;
export maxspeed;
export radiance;
}

and imports in the header file
brings this error

There was an error compiling your script. The problem was:

In: 'Drive Module'



Error (line 6): Local variable cannot have the same name as an import


i try to build a bird eye view car- driving module,
, first tests with the Rotate Function didnt work.
now i want to try it with different pics for the directions, dont know if i can get it to work.

i want to initialize a var:

float radiance = ((startAngle-90.0) / 180.0) * Maths.Pi;

but get this error:

is there a workaround?

[RACE GAME]

What do you think about a RACE GAME?

great idea,
bird-eye view driving modules.

its magic, this morning i wake up with a new game idea,
its a very ambitious idea, not an adventure but rather a RPG - Sim.
a little bit of a mix between oil-imperium and theClou!
I have a good imagination how the programming can be done, but i was the whole day insecure with
the time management of the game, cause i need a lot of timers for this game, thats for sure.

so your module is a present of godÃ,  , and a upper advice to make some real game out of this idea.

thanks, its a great thingÃ, 

the funtion who causes the error in combination with the backgroundspeech was:
DisplayTopBar(5,14,8,"Grabinschrift","Wir werden ihn nie vergessen, egal wie er hieàŸ!");
no problem with normal player.Say commands, so i will use this instead.

what you mean with "what name for the bgspeech overlay?"?
i use the backgroundspeech module from ssh version 2.03
with statements like this:

qDisplaySpeech(cSandyx,"Ohh ich glaube du hast ihn verärgert, jetzt ist er weg.");
.
.
.

2. yes i have renamed the files to musicxx.ogg, after moving it to the music folder

i got this errormessage, when two characters talking in the back, and the main character klicks on hotspots where other messages appear.

OKÃ,  Ã,

I need an looping sound during a larger animatingsequenz, problem is
with playsound i can play the sound only one time.

PlaySound(116);
oAuf.Animate(0, 25, eOnce, eBlock, eForwards); // duration 20 sec

with music, the sound will not play, i copied the sound in the music ordner and convert it to ogg, mp3, wav but nothing works, (it works without problems as sound)

SetMusicRepeat(1);
PlayMusic(39);

thanks for suggestions

i used 7-zip now and get the whole thing uncompressed without troubles.

when i klick extracting the files comes ->
the file "effect demo game_v10" is protected with a password,
please fill in that password.
then i press  - leave that file out
and then comes
the file "acsetup.cfg" is passwordprotected,
....
this goes on for almost all files
except the A_PE_V1_5.scm module itself, so i can use it but without examples or documentation.

i tried to open this file with the windwos xp inbuilt zip-extraktor

i want to play a bit with this module, but most of the files in the zip are passwordprotected  :'(

what was the reason for deleting the orow4 threadÃ, 
should it go into oblivion as soon as possible, or was some x-rated content in this thread

hey akumayo,

it isnt a "bad topic", unfortunatly i havnt enough time these days to enter,
i like this topic very much, and I'm looking forward to someone who makes a descent entry.
so please dont feel bad about it,Ã,  its not your fault.
this competition has not so much participants, so it was a matter of time that in such a short time period of 2 weeks nobody enters.
i would say, let this topic open till someone enters (gord is on the way, i guess) who is automaticlly the winner, and can set the rules for another coding competition.

Big thx 

hi all,

the problem is, i dont know which player is active at this moment, so i cant
use this command -> character[3].room to get the room number.
i need something like this GetPlayerCharacter().room or
game.room.
for a command similar to this
if(game.room == 30)

i got it to workÃ,  , thank you all.
i found the solution in this thread. -> http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=21647.0
its unbelievable but i download 7-zip to unzip the AGS-Editor and the *chm files work fine.
with the windows-integrated zip-system the file must be corrupt or something, strange.

thx, but after losing 1-1/2 hours in the deep of the microsoft webpage,
installing a couple of repair, update and help programs try to reinstall the whole thing manually (which is not possible) im helpless.
several *.chm files dont work on my pc, the latest AGS help file which works is from 2.61.

i have no problems with the IE.
and similar helpfiles in other applications works fine.

Edit:

ok, the microsoft .NET Framwork 2.0 was not the reason, cause i deinstalled it and the help system doesnt care about, and dont works further on  :'(

sorry dkh, 100% understand your point of view.
its not fair to vote without testing both entries, but i tried different things to start your module and demo without success, and akumayos entry is very good without question.
the coding competition have no big audience so i decided to vote, its a subjective thing, sorry.
steve should determine to count this vote in or not.

I have 2 problems:

the first one is that the AGS-Help system doesnt work in all my installed ags versions.
I have running AGS-262 27 and 271 and it looks like this:



i have installed microsoft .net framework 2.0 a few days ago maybe this is the reason, but i dont know.

second problem is the error message in this thread:
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/yabb/index.php?topic=25979.0

where i get this error with the particle-demo and the sources:

Illegal exception
---------------------------
An exception 0xC0000005 occured in ACWIN.EXE at EIP = 0x0045C87F ; program pointer is -195, ACI version 2.71.894, gtags (0,0)

thanks for help
