Here is the basic board with numbers for reference:

Code: ags

 //ROOM LOAD
void initBoard()
{
  squareX[0] = 50; squareY[0] = 470;
  squareX[1] = 50; squareY[1] = 368;
  squareX[2] = 50; squareY[2] = 268;
  squareX[3] = 132; squareY[3] = 368;
  squareX[4] = 50; squareY[4] = 180;
  squareX[5] = 136; squareY[5] = 173;
  squareX[6] = 225; squareY[6] = 173;
  squareX[7] = 225; squareY[7] = 249;
  squareX[8] = 314; squareY[8] = 173;
  squareX[9] = 396; squareY[9] = 173;
  squareX[10] = 485; squareY[10] = 173;
  squareX[11] = 575; squareY[11] = 173;
  squareX[12] = 575; squareY[12] = 237;
  squareX[13] = 658; squareY[13] = 173;
  squareX[14] = 744; squareY[14] = 173;
  squareX[15] = 744; squareY[15] = 267;
  squareX[16] = 748; squareY[16] = 254;
  squareX[17] = 748; squareY[17] = 265;
  squareX[18] = 225; squareY[18] = 468;
  squareX[19] = 225; squareY[19] = 468;
  squareX[20] = 225; squareY[20] = 468;
  squareX[21] = 225; squareY[21] = 468;
  squareX[22] = 225; squareY[22] = 468;
  squareX[23] = 225; squareY[23] = 468;
  squareX[24] = 225; squareY[24] = 468;
  squareX[25] = 225; squareY[25] = 468;
  squareX[26] = 225; squareY[26] = 468;
  squareX[27] = 225; squareY[27] = 468;
  squareX[28] = 225; squareY[28] = 468;

Code: ags

// After throwing dice

 if(oDice.Frame >=0){
 
 cGandolf.SayAt(cGandolf.x+9, cGandolf. y-100, 500, "you have rolled a one.");
 oTumbler.Move(oTumbler.X, oTumbler.Y+40, 2, eBlock, eAnywhere);
 
 if(currentSquare ==0){
 cHobbit.Walk(squareX[5], squareY[5], eBlock, eWalkableAreas);

// etc etc

At the moment the player moves to the same square whatever walk square is... there is plenty of walkable area.

[EDIT]

I had to add:

Code: ags

if(currentSquare==21)

What I'm proposing is that you stop using regions for the squares entirely, and therefore ditch WalkToPoint() along with them, replacing it with the Walk() call.

You mean like if a 6 is thrown from square 21 then walk to square 27 for example?

also i have no regions..

EDIT
I now use this that seems to work and does away with the WalkToPoint(s):

example

Code: ags

if(oDice.Frame >=0) // after dice has rolled.
 {
 cGandolf.SayAt(cGandolf.x+9, cGandolf. y-100, 500, "You have thrown a one. You may proceed on.");
 oTumbler.Move(oTumbler.X, oTumbler.Y+40, 2, eBlock, eAnywhere);
 
 if(currentSquare==21)
 player.Walk(squareX[currentSquare],squareY[currentSquare]);
 player.Walk(squareX[0], eBlock); 
   
 roll=false;

}
// etc etc

it will mean tons of scripting as there are 29 squares.

unless of course you question it

cheers, it's getting there.....

Cheers Snarky,

it seems to work with my player.WalkToPoint after the dice is thrown...

Code: ags

player.Walk(squareX[currentSquare],squareY[currentSquare]);
player.WalkToPoint(EMordor, eBlock, eWalkableAreas);    

I will do some more testing and report back...

cheers mate

Early version of board with walkable area (player only moves (auto clockwise) once dice is thrown or by a card chosen):

Not really.

Adding a reference point to what square the player is on. After throwing the dice the player moves to appropriate destination square by way of WalkToPoint locations.

Code: ags

// A WalkToPoint destination
 player.WalkToPoint(EGlen, eBlock);

example:
Say player is on square 50 and throws a five he will go forward 5 squares to square 55 etc.

This is based on knowing what square player is on.

Hi,

Khris:

If you told us what exactly you need them for, we could suggest a workaround.

Board game using Addpoint's (destination squares - done) but also need to reference 'start' points (square of where player is - thinking of turning on/off bools option with regions). Moves can be from roll of the dice or card chosen from pack.

hope this explains what i am trying to do.

Hi,

is there a working ags version that gives more regions than 3.2.1?

cheers

The color number 16 gives black.

Also you can change to another text window by:

Code: ags

SetTextWindowGUI(int gui); // gui number

not sure,

have you tried 'Rebuild all files' from the Build menu?

The trouble when using randoms in the same 'condition' is that a random may run the same event again and again before another is run.

if you want three separate events to run one after the other then you could set up separate timers (one for each event of time). when one timer expires it starts the next one etc. on the last timer the first timer gets reset and it all runs again.

This way the timed events run in sequence.

There may (probably) of course be another way...

Maybe Pyxel Edit saves in a weird format. The best format for ags graphics is .png

I use PaintShop Pro.

Do my eyes deceive me or are we talking about Captain Kirk going aboard the Nostromo here?!

The captain is James Dirk of the USS Thunderchild and he's droid is KP29. The Nostromo is of course from Alien.

"Son of the magnificent Jaffa Snuffledrop: Short in stature, tall in power, narrow of purpose and wide of vision."

Look out for other references from the great sci-fi films

Meanwhile i am working on backgrounds like the above. Of course if anyone cares to assist me....

Cheers guys for the useful info

at this moment i incorporated 3 images that subtly change as door slides up.

You mean more like this?

New mock... how does this compare?

Slide up door closed


Slide up door open

This is a mock of a corridor where i can't seem to get the doorway angles right for slide up doors without having to change each doors graphic midway up. Help/advice/suggestions appreciated.

Hi AGA

did some upload images from pc and A++

cheers
