does After_FadeIn() actually run? I dont think thats the default name for the function so did you create it with the editor events pane? or did you just type the function in manually?

You should do this via the Rooms events panel

Minimum of 3 frames (images) per loop for an animation to run.

To make a more permanent change, like a change of costume, you can do this instead:

And don't for get to change its idle view .

cEgo.SetIdleView(12, 30);

will change/set the character EGO's idle view to 12. The idle view will be played if the character is idle for 30 seconds.

Simply amend above to your characters player script name.

I thank you again Crimson..

[EDIT: Forgot to update labels...]

Thanks Crimson that helped a bunch.

It appears to act as it should and with less code.

I have used to add items

Code: AGS

function Bbuy1_OnClick(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button)
{
  if (Elfers < 6)
  {
 Display("You do not have enough Elfers!");
 
}
 else
{
 arrows=(arrows+1);
 Elfers=(Elfers -6);
 LarrowsQ.Text = String.Format("%d", arrows);
 Larrowsprice.Text = String.Format("%d", arrows *6);
 Lelfers.Text = String.Format("%d", Elfers);
 SetTotalCost();
 
}
}

And this to cancel last item:

Code: AGS

function Bcancel1_OnClick(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button)
{
  
  if(arrows ==0) // checks if any in basket
 {
   Display("You have no arrows to cancel.");

 }
 else
  {
  arrows=(arrows-1);
  Elfers=(Elfers +6);
  LarrowsQ.Text = String.Format("%d", arrows);
  Larrowsprice.Text = String.Format("%d", arrows *6);
 
  
}
}

Just one more bit to complete.

After clicking the check-out button and returning to room I need for all the items to be reset to 0.

Code: AGS

 cELF.Say("That will be %d Elfers please",totalcost);
 cELF.Say("If there is anything you want to sell just let me know. I give good prices!");

 arrows=0;
 baskets=0;
 knives=0;
 ropes=0;
 torch=0;
 grapple=0;

This does not seem to occur..

Can a light be shed?

cheers

Code: AGS

cELF.Say("That will be %d Elfers please",totalcost);
 cELF.Say("If there is anything you want to sell just let me know. I give good prices!");

Hi

I need a hand regarding this shop table.

Adding and cancelling items works fine but there does seem to be a problem.

You start off with 10 Elfers (money).

I'll try and explain the problem.

It's to do with once the Elfers in the label (bottom) get down to 0 (after buying items) and let's say you decide to cancel all the items and Elfers are again at 10, when you check-out you are told you have 0 Elfers left when you should have 10! Therefore when you re open the shop you can't buy.

Could someone take a look at the scripts and pull them apart and hopefully see any problem areas with advice to correct.

Here is draft shop:


Rep Exec Always

Code: AGS

} 
  // SHOP
  
  //ARROWS
  LarrowsQ.Text = String.Format("%d", arrows);
  Larrowsprice.Text = String.Format("%d", arrows *6);
 
  //BASKETS
  LbasketsQ.Text = String.Format("%d", baskets);
  Lbasketsprice.Text = String.Format("%d", baskets *2);
 
  //KNIVES
  LknivesQ.Text = String.Format("%d", knives);
  Lknivesprice.Text = String.Format("%d", knives *4);
  
  //ROPES
  
  LropesQ.Text = String.Format("%d", ropes);
  Lropesprice.Text = String.Format("%d", ropes *5);
  
  //TORCH
   LtorchQ.Text = String.Format("%d", torch);
  Ltorchprice.Text = String.Format("%d", torch *3);
  
   //GRAPPLE
  LgrappleQ.Text = String.Format("%d", grapple);
  Lgrapprice.Text = String.Format("%d", grapple *10);
  
  //TOTAL PRICING 
  LTotalPrice.Text = String.Format("%d", arrows *6 + baskets *2 + knives *4 + ropes *5 + torch *3 + grapple *10);
  totalcost=arrows *6 + baskets *2 + knives *4 + ropes *5 + torch *3 + grapple * 10;

  Lelfers.Text = String.Format("%d", Elfers);

  
 // STOP COUNT IF OVER 10
 
 if (Elfers >= 10)
 {
   
   Elfers= 10;
   Lelfers.Text = String.Format("%d", Elfers);
 
 }  
 
 // STOP COUNT IF OVER 10 
 
  if (totalcost >=  10)
 {
  totalcost= 10;
 
 } 
 
 if (Elfers <=  0)
 {
  Elfers= 0;
 } 
 }

Baskets BUY button:

Code: AGS

function Bbuy2_OnClick(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button)
{
 if (Elfers < 2)
  {
 Display("You do not have enough Elfers!");
 
}
 else
{
  
 baskets=(baskets+1);
 Elfers=(Elfers -2);
}
}

Baskets Cancel button:

Code: AGS

function Bcancel2_OnClick(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button)
{
  basketsQ=(baskets-1);
  Elfers=(Elfers +2);

 if(baskets>0)
 {
 baskets = (baskets-1); // This could also be done with 'arrows--;' or 'arrows-=1;'
 } 
 else if (baskets <=  0)
 {
  totalcost=0;
  Elfers= -1;
 }
 }

Many thanks

Cheers Khris

Hi Khris

I see what you mean, it's being updated before the condition!

I have it declared:

Code: AGS

Lelfers.Text = String.Format("%d", Elfers);

Then:

The Elfers label changes when an item is brought or cancelled but should never go over 10.

Code: AGS

 
// STOP COUNT IF OVER 10
 } 
 if (Elfers >=  10)
 {
   Elfers= 10;
 }  

Also never under 0.

Code: AGS

 
 } 
 if (Elfers <=  0)
 {
  Elfers= 0;
 }

I do have a couple of minor issues if you have the time to help Khris?

Thank you

Hi

The 'SHOP' (gui) I am constructing has all the maths working correctly and I now have a small issue to clear up.

I have the label LElfers which displays The Int Elfers.

I have it stop at 10 yet it flashes a number (number can vary depending on product) very briefly before displaying 10.

Here's the bit of code for that part (Rep Exe Always):

Code: AGS

if (Elfers >=  10)
 {
   Elfers= 10;

If you can assist I thank you

That was a silly oversight on my part.

All labels are in Rep Exec Always.

Only variables are on button clicks.

All working fine now and 'Check-Out' works to:

Code: AGS

 cELF.Say("You have bought: Arrow packs %d and Basket packs: %d.",arrows, baskets);
 cELF.Say("That will be %d Elfers please",totalcost);
 arrows=0;
 baskets=0;

Mind you, it will lead to other queries.

cheers

[EDIT: This part of the 'SHOP' has been solved.]

Hi

why are you setting Larrowsprice.Text in the cancel button click event?

Because it's a Cancel last order and it is done via a button. Once pressed it takes away 6 elfins from the total and lowers the quantity by 1. The cancel button now stops at 0.

They should be and now are in Rep Exec Always.

A combination of what I have plus your reply seems to work.. I will have to test it as few times before I mark this topic solved.

cheers MurrayL

This is a rough draft of what I am tying to implement:



EDIT: This part of the 'SHOP' has been solved.

I'm building a 'Shop'(GUI) and the products 'Cancel' button takes the last order of a particular product away.

This works but I have hit a snag:

How can I stop 'Cancel' button showing less then 0 when repeatedly clicked?

A set of arrows cost 6 Elfers.

In Rep Exec Always:

Code: AGS

LarrowsQ.Text = String.Format("%d", arrows); // update for each time a set of arrows is added / subtracted.
Larrowsprice.Text = String.Format("%d", arrows *6); // for each time a set of arrows is added 6 Elfers is charged.

Buy Button script:

Code: AGS

function Bbuy1_OnClick(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button)
{
 arrows=(arrows+1); // When a set of arrows is bought.
 arrowsQ=(arrowsQ +6); // then added to arrowprice
}

Cancel Button script:

Code: AGS

function Bcancel1_OnClick(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button)
{
 arrows=(arrows-1);    // take away a set of arrows/
 Larrowsprice.Text = String.Format("%d", arrows -6);   // take off the price of a set of arrows.
}

Could you please lend a hand?

Thank you

Thank you for your comments Shadow,

This game is constantly being revised and updated.

Look out for Elfie's next adventure which will be bigger and better 

Long live Elfie...

Hi

I use:

MediaFire

No problems with them so far.

Hi  Shadow1000

Glad you are giving it a play.

Hint:

Spoiler

To progress you do need a magic carpet.  Also, does the dead assassin spider have something you may need later on?

Cheers guys for your comment replies

This game is under a constant revision when / where required.

FULL GAME ADVENTURE OF A CULT SERIES.

My thanks to all those that helped make this game possible.

The arrival of a Witch shakes the once peaceful and joyful land of Elfenor. The Witch's minions' attack brought a grim silence to the town folk.

Both its leader and citizens were unsure of what the future would bring to them. And so, refusing to accept defeat, the bravest of the elfen community, Elfie, would step forward and try to bring an end to the Wicked Witch...

FEEDBACK / COMMENTS gratefully appreciated.

Thanks

[I did not use the eWalkableAreas first as in code above so player walked on larger scaling area.]

I have an issue with player size (scaling).

Whilst it looks perfectly fine when I play it a friend says that the character gets big when he walks across the screen. The player walks on a walkable area with same scale (50). All that happens is that the player's Transparency is altered for the walk.

LockView (59) is a small animation of normal size.

I'm at loggerheads as to why... Do you know why this could be?

Global

Code: AGS

else if(cELF.ActiveInventory==ibluejar && cELF.Room==24) 
 {
  cELF.ActiveInventory=null;
  cELF.Loop=2;
  cELF.Say("I'll take a huge gulp of this invisibility potion.");
  cELF.LockView(59);
  cELF.Animate(2, 6, eOnce, eBlock);
  cELF.UnlockView();
  aChange.Play();
  cELF.TweenTransparency(1.5, 90, eBlockTween);
  cELF.Say("I'm invisible!!");
  
  cELF.Walk(645,265, eBlock, eWalkableAreas); 
  cELF.Walk(665,265, eBlock, eAnywhere);  // so he can walk off screen.
  
  object[0].SetView(78);
  object[0].Animate(0, 4, eRepeat, eNoBlock);
  cOllie.SayAt(300, 83, 250, "Can you smell something Edgar?");
  object[0].SetView(78, 0, 0);
  
  object[1].SetView(77);
  object[1].Animate(1, 4, eRepeat, eNoBlock);
  cFace.SayAt(364, 83, 250, "Smells very much like elves!!");
  object[1].SetView(77, 1, 0);
 
  object[0].SetView(78);
  object[0].Animate(0, 4, eRepeat, eNoBlock);
  cOllie.SayAt(300, 83, 250, "I hate elves!!");
  object[0].SetView(78, 0, 0);
  
  cELF.ChangeRoom(25, -20, 248);
 }

I did not use the eWalkableAreas first as in code above so player walked on larger scaling area.

Sorry guys 

Counting down..........................

[This seems to work but would be better if constant then do each successful combine.]

After combining inventory items in the inventory the mouse cursor changes to walk. How can I get it to change to the active pointer?

I can get it to change to pointer but it is not active.

cheers for all help.

This seems to work but would be better if constant then do each successful combine.

Code: AGS

function iorangejar_UseInv()
{
 if(cELF.ActiveInventory==iblackleaf && spellbook==true)
 {
  
 gInventory.Visible = true;
 mouse.Mode = eModeInteract;
 mouse.UseModeGraphic(eModePointer);
 cELF.LoseInventory(iorangejar);
 cELF.LoseInventory(iblackleaf);
 cELF.AddInventory(ibrownjar);
 Display("You now have some swell potion.");
 
 }
  else 
 {
 Display("You don't want to combine with that!");
}
}

Will leave post open for time being.
