Hi

I have looked for an object function/event in the manual etc that will allow user to move objects around via the mouse, but to no effect, as yet.

Basically there is an anagram, which you rearrange until you find the correct phrase, no other action is required.

12 letters (objects) make up the 2 word phrase

all help appreciated

Hi..

When coming off an island where the player has got ichest2 (can't leave until he has got it) I have the following problem:

For some reason the below function is displaying Character.Say but then jumps to Else statement and changes Room .    I have double checked player has ichest2 so it should just have player say that he has eveything he needs.

The function is activated by a region.

Other similar functions i have seem to work ok...

Code: ags

function region1_WalksOnto()

{
 if(player.HasInventory(ichest2))
{
  cRedpants.Say("I think we've got everything I need from here"); 

}
    else cRedpants.Say("You approach Rot Island"); 
  player.ChangeRoom(15, 44, 441);
}

Where character get ichest2

Code: ags

}

function olockc_UseInv()
{
 if(player.ActiveInventory == iscissors) //or whatever the inventory name 
   {
       Display("The scissors are just right to go into the Padlock hole and you twist and fiddle");
     Display("The Padlock clicks and uinlocks");
     object[2].Visible = false;
       object[4].Visible = true;
     cRedpants.Say("Yes, got it open");
     player.AddInventory(ichest2);
     Display("You drag the treasure chest out and lower it down the rope and put it onto your raft and set off");
     player.ChangeRoom(14, 487, 202);
}
      else cRedpants.Say("That's not working!");
}

Hi

I have the below script which works ok. What I am trying to do, and i can't quite pull it off with the manual at the moment, is have a condition where once the isheet  (inv item) is used on the wild boar the boar changes to view 12 (with a sheet on).. (so far so good) but then you can use the ihammer.

This is what i would like to do:

When the boar has the isheet on you can use inv ihammer to stun it..  in other words you can only use the ihammer when the boar is in view 12 (with sheet on)

Am i making this sound complicated?


This is what i have so far:


function cboar_UseInv()
{
if(player.ActiveInventory == isheets) //or whatever the inventory name
  {
      Display("You throw a sheet over its head so it can't see. Now's your channce to do something, but quick, before it shakes it off!!");
     
     cboar.ChangeView(12);
     
     
            }
  else cRedpants.Say("No good using that!");

}


thanks for anyones help on this

Hi

if you are looking to create you own program icon:

first:  create your image 48x48 (gif) in your paint program, then go to:

http://tools.dynamicdrive.com/favicon/

where you can turn it into a favicon...  after you have created and downloaded it simply rename it USER and put it in your games folder... open up AGS, save and then create exe.

when you next look you will see your image icon as the program exe


PS You can also make ico files with MS Paint, make canvas 48x48. There is no option in save as for ico..    but just put .ico as extention such as user.ico...


Hope this is usefull

{
if (player.ActiveInventory ==pin1) {
 
   Display("You use the metal catch to unpick the door");
  object[9].Visible = true;

  cRedpants.Say("Yes, its open, come on guys!");
   cRedpants.Walk(342, 329, eBlock);
   player.ChangeRoom(58, 597, 411);

Hi

I am in a situation where if the player chooses a particular Dialog answer option he ends up in another room.. Is there a way of scripting the main player to go to another room within the Dialog script?

cheers

Hi

I have 6 objects in a room. 3  that are visible when the room is entered and 3 that are invisible when the room entered.

when a gun is used on the visible objects they are replaced by the other 3 objects using the  Visible = false/true statements. (monster alive is true and monster dead is false at room load)

what I am looking for is a condition that happens when ALL 3 objects (monster alive)become visible (monster dead)

ie;


Display("You have killed the 3 monsters and it's now safe to pass")
player.ChangeRoom(23, 55, 371);

Hope this is clear enough and hope someone can help.

What would be the best way to script this?

Hi

where do I adjust the following:

invMain.ItemWidth = 50;
invMain.ItemHeight = 30;

I could not see related sizes in GUI gInventory properties and events.... except to alter the actual GUI box properties itself.

my inv items overlap quite a lot...

cheers

Hi

I would like script to check for multiple inv items to allow character to go to another room
from a region.

The player has to have 4 keys in his inventory to allow go to another room when on region.

I have this script enquires if player has an inventory item

if (player.ActiveInventory ==chair) {
  player.Say("Perfect Match");

Hi

I have not seen an answer to my query...yet

what i am trying to do involves 'inv' on 'obj'..

There are 4 objects in a room  that you collect and add to 'inv'...

There is a board where you click on empty boxes with 'inv' items.

The board contain switched off (invisible) objects. If the right 'inv' item is used that 'obj' becomes visible. If it does not match the 'obj' it just displays a message like "Does not match"... 

So, if you use the correct 'inv' on the object it switches on, and of cause you loose that 'inv' item.

Objects are: ochair, obird, ostar, owheel
Inventory objects are: chair, bird, star, wheel

so chair inv on ochair switches ochair on and you lose inv chair..  etc etc

can someone give me a hand please

Hi

An alternative way to stop charaters being seen when they have been following you and you want them to stop following and dissapear temporarily is to change their view sprite..

The view sprite to use is a small transparent gif which shows nothing, therfore can't be seen.. simply switch views when you want to see them again.. simples..

or maybe use it to become invisible... list is endless..

Just an idea.. no doubt you pros' already know this..

Hi there

I was wondering if there was a way to delete an object from a room after use..

I have 2 objects.. The first object is gunpowder. When an inv item interacts with it I make that object invisible and the gunpowder with a fuse object switches on to become visible over it..

When i use another inv (Flint) on it the gunpowder with fuse object displays the wrong text and not the gunpowder with fuse text but the underneath (gunpowder) text.

So, Im wondering if you can have an object deleted from the room after use.
