Well, I'd suggest player.Room instead of PRoom variable.

Edit: I tried the cego.say("...") (as I just want short lines to stay longer) and it does pause, but after the text has disappeared. The display length for the text is exactly the same.

I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that to get a line to display longer, you put

Code: ags

  cEgo.Say("Empty pots....");

Well, you do need to use variables, so you're on the right track.

If you showed us some scripts that you've written, then it'd be easier to help you.


~Trent

I believe it is working correctly, because that is the error that pops up (I think) when you don't put an semicolon on the end of a line (which is what AGS thinks you've done).

~Trent
Sorry, Khris is right. I didn't think I was anyway....

~Trent

It's better coding to use 'else if' if you're check the same variable over and over (in this case, 'F'). And then you can use just plain 'else' for a catch-all everything else case.

~Trent

Basically you're having a problem with scope. If you declare a variable outside of a function, it will be available by all functions. If it's declared inside, then it will only be available in that function.


~Trent
PS-Try indenting your code like Khris's, instead of having {//whatever is on your line

I believe that ActiveInventory is a pointer of a InventoryItem type. So you can use any of the InventoryItem functions on it.

~Trent
PS-The AGS Wiki has a good article on pointers.

Personally, I never use the eraser (hotspot 0, etc). I just use the right click if I have to remove something.


~Trent

Ummm... since you've completed the game, I won't say to post it up here. But ask your betatesters* if they have the same problem on they're computers.

~Trent
*If you're not betatesting your game, you should. Most definitely.

Well, you can use GetText Width and Height to figure the size, then change it dynamically.

Is this gonna be UHS style?


~Trent

I'm voting for Dualnames' "Rain Epitaph".

~Trent

HB to Sylver and Misj!

~Trent

You could set the WalkTo points in the editor and use those. Again, a bunch of work but then you won't have to manually script all the coordinates.

~Trent

Have you set him as the player character?

~Trent

PS-The curly braces {} are next to the 'P' key (Press Shift too)

~Trent

Bummer, but we know you'll finish it with the best possible quality.

~Trent
PS-DLing the demo right now

Personally, I like seeing multiple ways to write code. If you set it up simply the first time, it can be easier to make adjustments in the future. Not to mention ideas to completely change it, such as suicidal pencil's.

Trent R: The / in the file name is to show that it's in the movies folder.

Well yeah, but have you tried it in the root folder? Does it work then?

~Trent

You're right Khris, sorry man.

~Trent

And a poster in a blue cup-ee.

Maybe I'm an idiot, but removing 'ee' seems like it'd fit the rhythm better.

Now I wanna hear the rest of the lines!
