`Hi

Sometimes the below script (rain/snow plugin) errors giving the Wait command as the error...

Sometimes it does not error at all and carry's on as it should..

This must surely be a bug somehow else it would either run all the time or error all the time..

Code: ags

ShakeScreenBackground (4, 10, 80);
  Wait(1);
  srSetSnowDriftRange(20, 80);
  srSetSnowDriftSpeed(20, 80);
  srSetSnowFallSpeed(50, 200);
  srChangeSnowAmount(50);
  srSetSnowBaseline(100, 200);
  srSetSnowTransparency(4, 50);
  srSetSnowView(0,              0,              51,       0);  
  srSetSnowView(1,              0,              73,       0);                          

  Wait(100);
     
  srSetSnowView(0,              0,              51,       0);  
   
  srSetSnowAmount(0);
  
  Display("The chunks of frozen ice miss you by inches!");
  

Scratching my head..

Hi

Iv'e come up with this and it works except i can't get it to change back to normal view (51) on it's own.   I really just need to STOP srSetSnowView 1 and let srSetSnowView 0 continue..

It'll do until i can solve changing back..

Code: ags

ShakeScreenBackground (4, 10, 80);
  Wait(1);
  srSetSnowDriftRange(20, 80);
  srSetSnowDriftSpeed(20, 80);
  srSetSnowFallSpeed(50, 200);
  srChangeSnowAmount(120);
  srSetSnowBaseline(150, 200);
  srSetSnowTransparency(50, 60);
  srSetSnowView(0,              0,              51,       0);  
  srSetSnowView(1,              0,              73,       0);                          

  Wait(100);
     
  srSetSnowAmount(0);

Hi

to recap..

This works and changes to new view:

Code: ags

ShakeScreenBackground (4, 10, 80);
  Wait(1);
  srSetSnowDriftRange(20, 80);
Wait(60);
  srSetSnowDriftSpeed(20, 80);
  srSetSnowFallSpeed(50, 200);
  srChangeSnowAmount(120);
  srSetSnowBaseline(150, 200);
  srSetSnowTransparency(50, 60);
  srSetSnowView(0,              0,              51,       0);  
  srSetSnowView(1,              0,              73,       0);                          

But it refuses to change back and errors here (Wait):

Code: ags

   
     srSetSnowView(1,              0,              73,       0);  
     Wait(60);
     srSetSnowView(0,              0,              51,       0);

Hi

Code: ags

ShakeScreenBackground (4, 10, 80);
  
  Wait(1);
  srSetSnowDriftRange(20, 80);
  srSetSnowDriftSpeed(20, 80);
  srSetSnowFallSpeed(50, 200);
  srChangeSnowAmount(120);
  srSetSnowBaseline(150, 200);
  srSetSnowTransparency(50, 60);
  srSetSnowView(0,              0,              51,       1);                          
  srSetSnowWindSpeed(35);
  srSetSnowAmount(400);

it errors here (next part of script)

Code: ags

  Wait(60);
  srSetSnowView(1,              0,              73,       1);  
  Display("The large chunks of ice missed you by inches!!");
  srSetSnowView(0,              0,              51,       1);

Hi

the below script works up until the point of returning to default view and then it errors:

Code: ags

 ShakeScreenBackground (4, 10, 80);
  
  Wait(1);
  srSetSnowDriftRange(20, 80);
  srSetSnowDriftSpeed(20, 80);
  srSetSnowFallSpeed(50, 200);
  srChangeSnowAmount(120);
  srSetSnowBaseline(150, 200);
  srSetSnowTransparency(50, 60);
  srSetSnowView(0,              0,              51,       1);                          
  srSetSnowWindSpeed(35);
  srSetSnowAmount(400);
 
  Wait(60);
  srSetSnowView(1,              0,              73,       1);  
  Display("The large chunks of ice missed you by inches!!");
  
  Wait(60);
  srSetSnowView(0,              0,              51,       1);

Hi Studio3


update.. view does not change with code.. i get the display and the shake...


i have not tried your idea yet..

Its not one big chunk.. its just a large image (about 10x as big as normal image) displayed as normal just larger and looks like a chunk of ice..

Cheers Studio 3...

The change of view works.. but I can't seem to get it to switch off and continue script..

I've got it on Room Fadein and also want it to trigger when stepping on a Region.

Code: ags

 ciceman.SayAt(95, 300, 250, "The prism has been entrusted to me. Prepare to meet your doom!!!!");

 ShakeScreenBackground (4, 10, 80);

  srSetSnowDriftRange(20, 80);
  srSetSnowDriftSpeed(20, 80);
  srSetSnowFallSpeed(50, 200);
  srChangeSnowAmount(120);
  srSetSnowBaseline(150, 200);
  srSetSnowTransparency(50, 60);
  srSetSnowView(1,              0,              73,       1);                          
  srSetSnowWindSpeed(35);
  srSetSnowAmount(400);
  srSetSnowAmount(0);
  Display("The large chunks of ice missed you by inches!!");
  srSetSnowView(0,              0,              51,       1);

Hi

I have used the rain/snow plugin for a scene which works as it should normally. However, I want to change it's view to large chunks of ice so I changed it's view and have added a ShakeScreenBackground to enhance the new view..

In the normal view it is view 51 and in the chunks of ice it is view 73.. But it won't go as I hoped it would even changing  srSetSnowAmount(0); before the change so I set a Wait but it still won't act as I wish it would.. Has anyone got any pointers that will make this work without getting a dreadful error message?

Both view are ok.

Code: ags

  srSetSnowDriftRange(20, 80);
  srSetSnowDriftSpeed(20, 80);
  srSetSnowFallSpeed(50, 200);
  srChangeSnowAmount(120);
  srSetSnowBaseline(150, 200);
  srSetSnowTransparency(50, 60);
  srSetSnowDefaultView(51, 0); //view=3; loop=0;
  srSetSnowWindSpeed(35);
  srSetSnowAmount(400);

Code: ags

 
  ShakeScreenBackground (4, 10, 80);
  srSetSnowDriftRange(20, 80);
  srSetSnowDriftSpeed(20, 80);
  srSetSnowFallSpeed(50, 200);
  srChangeSnowAmount(120);
  srSetSnowBaseline(150, 200);
  srSetSnowTransparency(50, 60);
  srSetSnowDefaultView(73, 0); //view=3; loop=0;
  srSetSnowWindSpeed(35);
  srSetSnowAmount(400);

Is it this lot that needs amending and then incorporating into the script:

Code: ags

//===========kind_id===event(always 0)===== view ==== loop ===
		srSetSnowView(0,              0,              4,       0);
		srSetSnowView(1,              0,              4,       1);
		srSetSnowView(3,              0,              3,       1);
		//Note: kind_id number 2 use default view in that case.

I get this error with this:

Code: ags

  ShakeScreenBackground (4, 10, 80);
  srSetSnowView(1,              0,              73,       0);

Hi

This is not a big issue but an issue nonetheless.

On the last 2 Rooms of my game so far, the Room Description does NOT go into character Room drop down start options.

When you click the Room list for a character to start in you only get the Room number and not the Description..

I note that if you delete the Description, restart ags, re enter the description , re start ags it goes into the drop down list...

Any ideas as to why?

cheers

Hi

well, it's not meant to be too easy...

You need a 6th key... it depends on what other keys you have to determine which other key you need..

give a brief outline of where you got the keys your have and i'll give you a hint to the 6th key

Hi

cwizard.Tint(0, 0, 0, 90, 100); seems to be near what i wanted..

Hi

I'm doing a snow scene and wondered if someone knew if you can use the Tint Character settings to have him as whitish or by some other method besides redrawing?

cheers

Hi

UPDATE:
I Deleted the Room and created a new one and reset everything and it's now how it should be.. strange happenings..

What version of AGS are you using? Did you import the sprites when the game was initially set to 8-bit?

AGS 3.2.0

The game has always been 16 bit... I exported an object's sprites, did a change and re imported them as a new view... transparency is correct.

barefoot

What did you mean by... "colours reducing like 8 bit"? Can you post an image as an wxample?

Here it is as seen on screen:



Even with NO commands at all the object still looks like the picture..

I'm still stumped...
