I have a situation whereby an inventory item graphic changes if another inventory item is used on it.

This happens twice for the same inventory item.

What I am trying to achieve is to change the images graphic on cursor when selected.

At the moment they all share the same graphic as stipulated in the inventory item panel.

How can I change it to show current item after its inventory graphic has changed.

Would it be better to have individual inventory items rather than change its graphics?

Using inventory on the inventory item istaff:

Code: AGS

function istaff_UseInv(
{
 if (cELF.ActiveInventory==ithread)
 {
 istaff.Graphic=615;
 cELF.LoseInventory(ithread);
 }
 else if (cELF.ActiveInventory==ineedle && istaff.Graphic==615)
 {
 istaff.Graphic=616;
 cELF.LoseInventory(ineedle);
 Display("You now have a makeshift fishing rod.");
 }
 else if (cELF.ActiveInventory==ineedle && istaff.Graphic==593)
 {
 Display("You need to have line on the broom before you add a bent needle so you can have a makeshift fishing rod.");
 }
 }

When correct inventory image is used on a painting:  // CURSOR SHOULD BE NEW INVENTORY GRAPHIC

Code: AGS

function opainting_UseInv()
{
  cELF.Walk(139, 260, eBlock, eWalkableAreas);
  cELF.Loop=1;
  
  if (cELF.ActiveInventory==istaff && istaff.Graphic==616)
  {
  cELF.StopMoving();
  cELF.SetWalkSpeed(1, 1);
  orod.Visible=true;
  cELF.Move(cELF.x -0, cELF.y +70, eNoBlock, eAnywhere);
  orod.Move(orod.X -0, orod.Y +70, 1, eNoBlock, eAnywhere);
  opainting.Move(opainting.X -0, opainting.Y +70, 1,   eBlock, eAnywhere);
  orod.Visible=false;
  painting=true;
  cELF.Say("What's this?");
  cELF.StopMoving();
  cELF.SetWalkSpeed(5, 5);
  }
  else
  {
  cELF.Say("I don't think that will help move that painting!!");
  } 
  }

EDIT: Perhaps its better to position text gui for dialogs and used that but i would still be interested to know.

Is it possible for a custom gui used for dialog options to have a scroll bar?

I have set its size and it works fine for 3 options each up to screen width, but what if I have say 7 options? Can I add scroll down / up or is there a better way or should I just stick to normal text gui?

Thanks if you can enlighting

As an elf you have to save the world from total darkness that is being summoned by an evil, demented witch!

Overcome traps and tasks set by the evil witch, which may seem easy at first glance, but overcoming them is another story!

Emerald energy indicator
Magic carpet power indicator

* Can you deal with a deadly assassin spider?

Hi

I need a bit of help regarding a ListBox.

I have set up a list box and added items as the player collects them and removes them when used.

IE Get sandwich and it is added to ListBox. Use sandwich on rat and it gets removed from ListBox.

Sandwich is the only thing in the list you can have at that time and works ok.

Code: AGS

ListBox1.RemoveItem(0);

This is ok but this is where the snag starts.

If you look at the ListBox items and say want to remove the 4th item would you use:

Code: AGS

ListBox1.RemoveItem(3);

Scenerio:

4 spindles, each requires a certain colored reel of wool. The reels can be done in any order and are taken off the Listbox as they are done.

Of course the reels of wool can be got in any colored order!

Is this the correct way of removing an item: if 3rd in list remove(2), if 6th item in the list remove(7) ?

cheers if you can assist me


[EDIT: used this to remove items and it works but should leave the ladder which should be at the top of the list. Will continue....

Code: AGS

ListBox1.RemoveItem(0);
 ListBox1.RemoveItem(0);
 ListBox1.RemoveItem(0);
 ListBox1.RemoveItem(0);

EDIT: I should have realised:

Code: AGS

 Health = (Health-10);
 bHealthbar.Width = Health;

-------------------------------------------------------

I have added a 'Health Bar' and have ran into a snag.

Basically it works except that I want the button (bHealthbar) to re size (width) by events using an Int for width.

The below code fails to increment down (or up) by events as expected to.

Ideally bHealthbar button (has a long bar image) will lose width each time an event happens (or gain by an event).

I have a global int 'Health' and have ClipImage = true;

I can not seem to find the solution although I can resize buttons manually but this is not what is desired.

Code: AGS

function region4_WalksOnto()
{
 object[8].SetView(8);
 object[8].Animate(0, 4, eRepeat, eNoBlock);
 cELF.Say("I best keep my distance from that deadly assassin spider!!");
 Health = -10; // This bit should lose 10 from the bars width (starts at 200 width size)
 bHealthbar.Width = Health;
}

Would someone please assist?

I have just started making rooms for a new game.

This is the first room to be entered and I am trying to achieve the right feel and look.

Before I go any further I would like any positive comments regarding the actual 'look' that will compliment the game.

PS The player is darker than seen here and the witch is green skinned!

It's early stages but comments now are better then after a dozen rooms.

Shots 1 and 2 are within the same room:




Thank you for any comments made.

I'm looking for tips on creating characters using layer body parts.

I am currently using this method but would like to improve.

If you have any hot tips I would like to hear them.

Thanks
