Yet another site move problem, I guess. I blame hajo.

Wasn't he some kind of electrocuting mouse thing?

If the character is only ever in one room, you can just use object[WHATEVERNUMBER].Visible

I prefer Barbara:

Well, it didn't take long for this thread to descend into the depths...  :

Use the sodium carbonate on the sponge

[close]

it doesn't seem to work. must the sponge be wet first? it doesn't do anything when i use it with the taps. at the moment it says "solid sponze" when i look at it, but when i try using the sodium with the sponge there is no reply. 

Ditto, except mine says "soiled sponge"

The title of this thread should be "Why conspiracy theories are wrong..." but due to on-topic difficulties, the title can only be  as above

This story warmed the cockles of my heart this morning. It's wonderful incompetence like this that is the last bastion against government conspiracies and attempts to be a police state. For example, the police here is going to start "voluntary" fingerprinting of people they pass in the street, so they'll have a database of everyone's fingerprints. But ultimately, its in a computer database that will ultimately be hackable and the data will be leaked eventually, along with all the other biometrics they have on us. And then, the whole database will become worthless as criminals will then be able to fake it. And our civil rights will have returned again, thanks to good old incompetence!

The Opera browser has built-in support for this, I believe: http://www.opera.com/products/desktop/voice/

For the Simple Rain module, I drew various rain "drops" on some dynamic sprites, then made overlays from those dynamic sprites and moved them down the screen. It means that various drops move in sync, but it is not really noticeable, I think.

Basically, you can't declare pointers to user-defined types, only to built-in ones. Which means you cannot have a struct of structs, like you're trying to do.

Yes, it sucks, but there you go.

My job is a software tester, so I had better be good at them... unfortunately I have to wrestle with IBM Rational TestManager to do so

I got 4 As in my Highers, and 5 '1's and 2 '2's in my Standard Grades. And a 2:1 Honours at Uni.

Try saving your game out as a Template and create a new game from that template, then add the icon. Perhaps the game was corrupted in a wierd way that the icon affects somehow?

AFAIK, managed structs are only applicable for plugins, not script-only code.

But that doesn't explain her character's motivation, but rather the scriptwriter's motivation

Happy Chrismas!

Code: ags

function GiveInvChronOJohn(InventoryItem *invitem, Character *charid){
  if (ExtensionEx(3,invitem.Name)!='d') {
    GSmode=GIVECHRON;
    GSusedmode=GIVECHRON;
    SetGraphicalVariable("Used Mode", GIVECHRON);
    GiveInv(invitem, charid);
    SetMode(DEFAULT);
  }
  else {
  //you could put here different messages or actions for different items when the player
  //tries to give them via the chron-o-john (i.e. the little icons in the GUI)
  //and it doesnt do the default behaviour (giving the item), because the second extension of 
  //that inventory item is 'd'.
    if (invitem.ID==2) Display("The hamster wouldn't survive to a Chron-O-John travel");//if tried to give the hamster
    else Display ("I think i can't put that in the Chron-O-John"); //generic message
  }
}
