Hi everyone,
I'm almost finished with the first act of my first attempt at a very short game.
I just got AGS and read through the manual and forums quite a bit, and managed to work my way past and figure out all of the solutions to all of the problems I've had so far.
The problem I have now, is this:
In my game, the floor beneath my character breaks and they fall through into a cave-like area below.
I animated that successfully, and did a room change.
Directly after the room change, I have an animation I want to use of the character laying on the ground (after having fell) and then simply stand up, and then switch back to the normal walking view.
I tried the same code I used before for the animation of the character falling through the floor, with cPlayer.Animate and the Lock/Unlock view but this time it gives me a parse error and says "unexpected cPla..."
What am I missing?
I tried to use the StartCutscene code as well, but that also gives me the parse error "unexpected.." message..
I'm sorry if the answer to this is somewhere in the open here, but the problem is, I don't really know WHAT to look for.. I've combed through everything about room changes, animations, cutscenes and just about everything else I could think of, but it's difficult when I'm not sure what to look for.
So I finally gave in and thought I'd ask for help here.
I know it's going to be something small that I'm missing... or maybe something big that I really should have learned at this point..
The good news is, in search of the solution to this problem, I figured out how to do many others things I wasn't even looking for!
Anyway, I will appreciate your help, and I'll try not to bother the forum with too many "noob" questions if I can help it.
P.S. -I'm also very tired, so if if this makes no sense at all, forgive me.
