Hi,

I have a room 640 x 200 in a 320 x 200 res game.

I have a added a dialog options when the main character talks to a npc which is placed at 410 x.

Code: ags

function cTingwell_Talk()
{
  cCadfael.Walk(cTingwell.x-30,  cTingwell.y+2, eBlock, eWalkableAreas);
  cCadfael.Loop=2;
  cTingwellP.x =cTingwellP.x  +GetViewportX(); // character head at the top of the screen that talks
  cCadfaelP.x =cCadfaelP.x +GetViewportX();    // main character head at the top of the screen that talks
  dTingwell1.Start();
}

When the dialogs are open i can select a return option and all is fine. However, when i stop the dialogs and again talk to the npc the position of the talking heads do not remain in their X position. The main character x appears further than center of screen whilst you do not see the npc's head...

A monastery mystery (who done it?)... Untitled at present and in production......

The strange disappearance of Brother Stephen and the shredding of a letter brings Brother Barrinion to the monastery.

"Good day, Abbot."

"Welcome, Brother Barrinion."

"I received your Raven this morning."
"You have some concerns about Brother Stephen?"

"Yes. Brother Stephen has not been seen since late last night."
"He never showed up for breakfast this morning and no one has seen him."
"He had came to me last night at around 10:30pm about something or other."
"He handed me a letter."
"He seemed very incoherent."
"Unfortunately I was very busy writing important letters."
"I went to put his letter on my desk when it drifted into the shredding machine."
"I have not been able to piece the letter together to read it."
"I have deep concerns for Brother Stephen which is why I called on you for your expertise."
"Your deductive skills for solving cases are legendary."

"You think there could be a connection between Brother Stephen going missing and the letter?"

"It's possible."
"Here are the shredded pieces of paper."
"See if you can make any sense of them."

Can YOU unfrock the chief perpetrator?

Another case for Brother Barrinion: monk sleuth extraordinaire...

Hi

Text Box question I'm trying to implement.

3 Text Boxes in view... I want to add one char to each one..

Enabling / Disabling Text Boxes done.

Any Text Box should display the character typed input a,b,c etc etc so the input can be any letter and not just specific.

Once all the text boxes have a letter a check can be made.

I just need a way to input ANY letter into each Text Box and also via Hotspots as an alternative method.

cheers

Hello and welcome to my Corner.

For those that don't know me I would like to introduce myself, my life and how I found ags beneficial..

Born: 20th august 1955 in Southampton, Hampshire, England.

Lost my brother, Julian in 1960.

Schooling: Left school (well, expelled actually for burning down the school's common room's curtains) in Oct 1970 aged 15 and 2 months.

Took up boxing in 1967 and was Kent ABA Champion in 1971,72 and 73. Southern area ABA champion 1971, England ABA quarter finalist 1972.

Between 1973 and 1978 I worked for British rail. I became a train driver from 1975  until 1978. 

During the early 70's I took up the guitar and over the years played in various bands and have played well over 400 gigs. Success never actually made it to my door but I enjoyed the ride.

I married in 1988 until 2006 when my wife decided to leave me and our three sons for pastures green. I managed to cope with my 3 sons who were then aged 18,16 and 14. It was a difficult time but we all pulled through. They have now gone on to make their own lives and visit me often. My wife met a man who abused her mentally and they had a child. Needless to say it all ended badly and the worst of it is that her daughter got taken into care and my wife has since got breast cancer. We remain good friends and I support her.

By 2005 my health started to decline and eventually it led to a stroke which hit me very hard (could not walk, some sight loss, talk impediment, memory lapse, nausea etc). Over the years I have managed to recover some of my faculties and have improved so much though I'll never be 100%.

Anyhow, enough of the dire stuff....

I first came across AGS not long after it took off. It was some years before I really started to get into it...and a bit longer to actually make a game.... 2009 I think I published my first game..

It soon became apparent that this was something I very much enjoyed. I found it very beneficial to my health as it got me to use my brain.

I do not confess to being a major player, scripter, artist or story writer but I do have other qualities that make up for this and I have had the pleasure of acquainting some great people here who have helped me along the way.

Some of these qualities I would like to share with you if you are driving the same road..... and are either just starting with ags or have a disability...

Please look in anytime... If I can help in some small way I will

Thank you

[The Bracelet Of Titan]

Game in Production (The text looks a little dire with these shots but OK in-game)

The Bracelet Of Titan

"In a land long, long, long ago, in a world infused with magic and mysticism, began The Great War." "King Myus of Darnia clashed with King Ashbah of Marnius. King Ashbah lusted to bring Darnia into the fold of his ever-expanding empire. The Great War lasted for five long years. Much blood was spilled on both sides. At this time King Myus was approached by The Sea People who gifted unto him the Bracelet Of Titan. The Bracelet Of Titan held much power. It drove King Ashba and his army away and magically formed an impenetrable barrier around the entire kingdom King Ashba's forces could never again enter the land of Darnia." "Now, two hundred years later, King Myus lies on his deathbed. He bequeaths the throne to his son Zuran. Zuran's step-brother, Azid, is furious! It should be he that rules over Darnia! So much stronger and braver than Zuran is he! Azid gathers an army against Zuran's rule and swears to take his rightful place on the throne and rule Darnia in Zuran's stead. Stationing his army in Bewodin, Azid prepared for his assault on Darnia." "Upon his deathbed, Myus cleaves The Bracelet of Titan in twain and gives one of the halves to the Wizard Belzub for safekeeping.This is his final act before the curtain of death falls forever upon his reign. Azid desires The Bracelet of Titan but finds he cannot break back through the mystical barrier which protects his homeland. He must obtain both halves of The Bracelet Of Titan in order to take his place upon the throne of Darnia." "And thus the quest for The Bracelet Of Titan begins..." As the Kings Champion he has given you the quest to complete The Bracelet Of Titan, repair the magical barrier and rid Azid from Darnia. In Wide Screen-amatic vision. Everything done by yours truly so far

Hi

I have a question.

If you have a weapon and you use it on innocent people generally you say like "I'm not slaying an innocent person."

What about if you could slay them and after so many innocent slayings get called for by the King who sentences you to death for the brutal slayings of many innocent people.

What is your take on this scenario?

cheers

We all like the applause and cheers we get from a performance but 'during' can be a bit daunting.

Here we play Apache (circa 2009) and the crowd were well drunk, jumping up and making a hell of a racket almost drowning us out...recorded from vhs.

I think it was from an isle of sheppy gig.

I'm on acoustic.

Oh well, you can't win them all...

Hi

am I the only one where Posts take ages to load.

Recently I have become aware that when I go to view Posts I have to wait about 20 seconds for the page to load.

Everything else seems fine.

Hi,

I'm using the code below to run if a Character is Talking or not and then to set their Transparency:

Code: ags

 if(cMulder.Speaking==true)
cMulder.Transparency=0;
else cMulder.Transparency=100;
if(cSkimmer.Speaking==true)
cSkimmer.Transparency=0;
else cSkimmer.Transparency=100;
if(cScully.Speaking==true)
cScully.Transparency=0;
else cScully.Transparency=100;
if(cSmoking.Speaking==true)
cSmoking.Transparency=0;
else cSmoking.Transparency=100;
if(cOtto.Speaking==true)
cOtto.Transparency=0;
else cOtto.Transparency=100;
if(cDaughter.Speaking==true)
cDaughter.Transparency=0;
else cDaughter.Transparency=100;
if(cEgo.Speaking==true)
cEgo.Transparency=0;
else cEgo.Transparency=100;
if(cNARR.Speaking==true)
cNARR.Transparency=0;
else cNARR.Transparency=100;
if(cKimble.Speaking==true)
cKimble.Transparency=0;
else cKimble.Transparency=100;
if(cBouncer.Speaking==true)
cBouncer.Transparency=0;
else cBouncer.Transparency=100;
if(cSubman.Speaking==true)
cSubman.Transparency=0;
else cSubman.Transparency=100;
if(cBoatman.Speaking==true)
cBoatman.Transparency=0;
else cBoatman.Transparency=100;
if(cNaziWare.Speaking==true)
cNaziWare.Transparency=0;
else cNaziWare.Transparency=100;

The Speaking command property appears to be View only so can't set it to off...

A character appears in room and shows momentarily before it goes Transparent 100 until they talk.

I need a way for the room to disable speaking until they actually speak..

Hi,

my question is this:

Adding which inventory has been clicked on when combining inventory items. Player Says the line (which is a Random 'Say' variable).

Already have:

Code: ags

 
 player.SayAt(26, 0, 270,String.Format("To my knowledge %s and %s do not mix.",player.ActiveInventory.Name, inventory.Name));
// rather than just using ID: inventory[6]

Help appreciated

Cheers
