I'm sure this is childsplay to the rest of you, but for the life of me I cannot get this to work. I've tried several different versions of scripting this, but the sound plays once and stops.

So the thing is, I have probes with electricity flowing between them. I have a "bzzz" sound that I want played as long as this object is animating and then stops once the objects stops animating.

From rep_exec:

Code: ags

if ((IsSoundPlaying()==0)&&(object[9].Animating==true)){
  PlaySound(11);
}

That was the last bit of code I tried, which was a LAST RESORT idea, after several attempts. I'm too frustrated right now to rewrite all the different tries I did.

If you could plese point me in the right direction and tell me what I'm NOT doing, it will be MUCH appreciated.

Oh, man, Darth, you can come live with my wife and I (no wonder you're so bitter).

Happy new year everyone.

ps
just kidding, Darth old boy

This is always a problem when it comes to using AGS - my sprites look good, but my backgrounds look awful

You need to post this in the critic's lounge. Your problem has everything to do with your (dis)ability to create backgrounds, which has absolutely nothing to do with AGS.

unhandled_event catches triggered events without a function linked.

Right, I thought of it after I posted and realized how silly it was, heh.

Anyway, thanks for the input, Khris, that's a perfectly good solution.

I can't seem to find where I can change the graphic for the inventory item's cursor when over an object, hotspot or character. I remember, or at least I think I do, there being an option for it like for the default cursors do (Animate while over hotspots, etc...).

Where am I missing the answer to my question? Would I have to change the inventory item's cursor manually in the script when over these objects? I wonder if I can do this in unhandled_event...

Before I found AGS I´ve made my games with game maker(Here is one
http://www.yoyogames.com/games/107772-le-parkour ). I always loved Adventuregames. So I tried to make an adventure with Game Maker. I noticed that it were really complex to make an adventure with Game Maker because it´s a total other gamegenre than for example a jump´n´Run. Than I searched for an engine for Adventuregames and of course then I found AGS.

I LOVE AGS!!!

Er...

Hey, wonkamayer, I'll host your avatar on my site if you want. HOHOHO!!1!

I'm pretty much in the same shoes game-wise. I've never finished anything (with the exception of Castle of Fire). I have all these cool ideas and I write them down, even start them in AGS, thinking it's "Full steam ahead", but they quickly end up in limbo. I don't understand it either. Maybe it has something to do with needing our ideas to stay fresh? Once you get used to a specific thing and work on it, it get's too concrete, getting too serious, thus losing the spark.

I've been working on a christmas game for somebody that I planned on finishing to give to them on Christmas day. Time's been quickly running out, so I decided that maybe just a demo should be my goal. I'm starting to doubt even that now.

Now hold on there, buddy. Bessie isn't that kind of cow.

I don't know, man, where I come from, cow's don't dance like that unless they're lookin' for a little somethin' somethin'.

copied slightly from snake's colors and design (it's a shared gift) haha

Shared gift?? Haha? When was I gonna' be let in on this?

WILLIAM! So nice to see you! Your smiley looks nothing like your... creepy, animated, parkinson's... version.

Creepy.

Anyone up for some eggnog!? P0onch! Show us your teats!!1

It would be fascinating to know what Jesus thinks about modern christianity.

Agreed.

lol, because I'm a hypocrite

\\--EDIT--\\
I too have respect for religion as a whole. I find it very interesting. Whenever we are visiting my wife's family I go to church (Catholic, which I am, I was told ) with them (for the holidays). I don't mock it or put a sour face on. I enjoy it. I like to listen. But do I believe everything that's being spoken? Not any of it. But I am intrigued, I guess is the word. Would I go every Sunday? Blargh, only for my wife whom wants to start going with our daughter.

Good, so far I'm with all of you. I hate how they take something good and think they have to change it all up to be excepted.

what is there to get offended about?

When you believe in such things, it's usually taken very seriously. So someone calling Jesus, Jeebus, would naturally be taken offensively, eventhough not meant that way.


One night my wife was working late. This was back early last year when I was working on Castle of Fire (you know, the game that three people played?). So she get's home and sees something on my desktop background and says, "What the hell is that?!"

It was a picture of a statue of Jesus Christ standing there with a huge stupid grin on his face with a big "thumbs up". I thought it was great so I set it as my background image.

We got into a minor argument which ended in me setting something else as my desktop background.

I thought it was funny because the only time you see the guy is when he's hanging on the cross in agony. It was good to see him smiling She comes from a very religious family, which I do not. She believes in God, I lean more towards not. Despite our religious beliefs/disbeliefs, we get along perfectly.

Anyway, the point is, I can see why Danman (or anyone) would be offended, that's all.

This isnt about religion. Just Christmas.

Well, as far as a lot of people are concerned, Christmas is based on the birth of Christ. So you're, which should have been expected, going to get people who take it offensively, Calin, when you say what Danman has quoted.

I myself, I love Christmas. To me, like you, it has absolutely nothing to do with celebrating baby Jeebus. For me it's all about sharing time together around the tree and watching the people you love open gifts (especially the ones you got them). Like you've mentioned, no matter how miserable it is outside, something about all those decorations and multicolored lights, lighted trees, etc; give that fuzzy warm feeling you speak of.

It's also a great time where you can get together and forget about all the shit that the fan of life has sprayed on us. Even if it is just for a moment.

I'll be honest right off by saying I really do not know much about Sherlock holmes and his cases/stories. I've never played any of the games, which I would like to at some point. I have, though, seen a handful of episodes on TV with my Grandmother years ago.

From what I'm getting out of the trailers, it's seems to me they've turned him into some sort of martial arts wielding action hero.

Any thoughts from Sherlock Holmes fans?

its the Konami code.. used in alot of konami games.

Heh, I didn't know that. Looks like this American just got a little smarter

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing. I see three locations that are "pinging". One is in Burnhum, Maine, which is only like an hour from where I live. The other is Buffalo, NY and the third is Solihull, Solihull.

That's what you press on the title screen to Contra (NES) to get yourself 30 lives.

It's a pretty popular code so I wouldn't be suprised if it was used in other games (which I know none of).
