Hi Gurok.

implemented, adjusted and works a treat..

Oh, and it is Buttons that take you to locations.

cheers

Cheers Gurok I'll try that....

Hi,

I have come across a situation that I am trying to overcome.

It involves going from location to location and returning to previous location (and x y - scripted).

Whilst the below code works fine there is a hurdle to overcome if you then go from 19 to 20 or 20 to 19 (after locating from a sewer room - there will are 5 +). PreviousRoom is not valid, nor is HasPlayerBeenInRoom.

So obviously I need a way to check Room you are in (19 or 20) and to always go back to the sewer room you were in last time if you then click the Sewer Location button.

Code: ags

function Button75_OnClick(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button)
{
 if(cCharles.PreviousRoom==21 && Button75.NormalGraphic==1861 && (cCharles.Room==19 || cCharles.Room==20)){
 cCharles.Say("I think I'll go back to the old sewers.");
 cCharles.ChangeRoom(21);
 }  
 else if(cCharles.PreviousRoom==22 && Button75.NormalGraphic==1861 && (cCharles.Room==19 || cCharles.Room==20)){
 cCharles.Say("I think I'll go back to the old sewers.");
 cCharles.ChangeRoom(22);
 }  
 else if(cCharles.PreviousRoom==23 && Button75.NormalGraphic==1861 && (cCharles.Room==19 || cCharles.Room==20)){
 cCharles.Say("I think I'll go back to the old sewers.");
 cCharles.ChangeRoom(23);
 }

Hope this is understandable and that you can help.

Thanks

Hi,

did you import it to the Music Folder?

If you imported it to the Sound folder then it will only play once.

Hi,

Monkey:

but why on earth did you decide that calling SaveGameSlot and then doing bound-checking was a good idea?

I did eventually realise this and knew, as I looked at it a bit longer, it would not work the way I wanted ;(

Snarky:

Just to cause players frustration at the point where they run out of slots?

The limited number of Saves no longer applies

It was an idea I had, and ideas don't always work or are appropriate..

cheers

GUI'S in production (since this post buttons have been amended):





Game progress 73%

[EDIT:]

Hi,

I am implementing a maximum save game slots. If the player tries to save a new game slot when the maximum is reached a message appears telling them they must delete an already game slot before they can save a new game slot.

The maximum number of slots is 8. It seems to work ok untill you start deleting all slots and the slots scroll down showing unseen saves.

The border and arrows are set to false.

What would be a better way than this?

Code: ags

function btnSaveGame_OnClick(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button)
{
  int gameSlotToSaveInto = lstSaveGamesList.ItemCount + 1;
  int i = 0;
  while (i < lstSaveGamesList.ItemCount)
  {
    if (lstSaveGamesList.Items[i] == txtNewSaveName.Text)
     
    gameSlotToSaveInto = lstSaveGamesList.SaveGameSlots[i];
  
    i++;
    }
  SaveGameSlot(gameSlotToSaveInto, txtNewSaveName.Text);


if(i>=7)
 {
 DeleteSaveSlot(7);
 DeleteSaveSlot(8);
 Display("You must delete a saved game first before you can make a new save slot.");
 }
  else
 {
 
 aButton_click4.Play();
 gSaveGame.TweenSize(0.5, 800, 10, eEaseInTween, eBlockTween);
 mouse.Mode=old_mode;
 close_save_game_dialog();
 }
}

Could someone assist please?

Thanks


EDIT: Gone a different route

You have to laugh

Now I know where I have been going wrong all these years

Amusement to resist....

Hi,

I did an almost similar thing some time ago. Your version is pretty cool and as you say, observation of moves is the key, unless it's a random response.......trickier I know

Thank you Khris.

I had a feeling it might involve walk speed value and AnimationSpeed value.

SetGameSpeed might be a way to go if I can't get it 100%. Of course I'll have to reset it when player stops moving.

I'll have a tinker around...

Lots of text. Hope it's helpful.

Never too much Khris and yes, very helpful

Thank you

Hi,

I have a niggling situation that I wish to resolve.

I have an object (flame torch named otorch) that follows the player (named cCharles) (+- x / +- y) in all 4 of the player loops. I am using the  flashlight plugin. So it looks like the player is carrying a flame torch (otorch is animated).

It all works fine until I increase the players walk speed, it makes the object (otorch) jerk a bit which is a bit off-putting.

Adjusting object move speed in relation to player walk speed is what I am trying to achieve or something that gives the desired effect.

I know I could make another Player View (holding torch) but decided not to.

Here is some code I have used:

Code: ags

function room_RepExec()
{
 if(cCharles.loop==2){
 otorch.Baseline=0;
 otorch.X=cCharles.x-2;
 otorch.Y=cCharles.y-80;
 }
 else if(cCharles.loop==1){
 otorch.Baseline=600;
 otorch.X=cCharles.x-2;
 otorch.Y=cCharles.y-78;
 }
 else if(cCharles.loop==0){
 otorch.Baseline=0;
 otorch.X=cCharles.x+19;
 otorch.Y=cCharles.y-55;
 }
 else if(cCharles.loop==3){
 otorch.X=cCharles.x-24;
 otorch.Baseline=0;
 otorch.Y=cCharles.y-62;
  }
}

Can you assist please?

Thanks

Hi,

I agree with Andail.

It's about your credibility and respect.

If you have both then you are in with a chance of people putting their hands in their pockets.

No one in their right minds would stick loads of money on a rank outsider.

Love your graphics by the way

Can you find out any information at a high class opium den?

Hi

Usually I code on a trial and error basis

I think most of us do at the beginning, but we should always take in what the the experienced guys recommend and keep browsing the manual and forums.

After doing all the views for the walk, talk and idle I find it really useful to make new animations for stuff I wish my character to do in the game IE bending over, reaching up etc etc and have them LockView animations. It is time consuming but worth the time spent and can be used anytime.

LockView is a definate yes yes when it comes to extra character actions / animations

After you are quite well versed you should be able to access the situation and what you want to achieve and in your head you should know 98% /100% of how you intend to do it.

Hope this helps

You could use a flashlight effect.

Hi,

it took me some time to get used to the gui snapping and lock but now I find it very useful.

Whatever happened to the depreciated object lock?

Loved the trailer... Great stuff
