Hi

you need to check around your sprite(s) in a paint program to make sure everything that should be transparent is!

ie: if red is transparent colour then make sure everything you dont want to see is actually red... or whatever colour you have selected as transparent otherwise all the other colours will show... and check that you DO NOT use 'leave as it is' when you import..

this often happens...

hi

normally sounds (in sound folder) should be renamed to sound1, sound2 etc and not their original name as far as the manual goes.

Hi

EG:
PlayAmbientSound(1, 10, 150, 250, 110);

this gives you the x and y as per question..

I Suppose you could have a couple of regions that you can repeat using higher/lower volume.  EG volume is set to 150.

Check it out in the manual..

Hope this helps?

How do I reassign the picture?

sprites are pictures you import into the sprites folder, use these to build sprite animations/views for characters, objects etc.

Each sprite has a number assigned to them.

Just check your character/objects have the correct view numbers such as normal=3, idle=4 etc etc.

That is frame animation views. Each character/object should have there own views assigned.

Hi

is it possible to disable an inv item from any clicks when its no longer needed but still has to show?

a situation has occured whereby i need to disable an inventory item from appearing. Usually the inv item (lamp off) clicked on with another inv item (matches) produces the (lamp on) LAMP effect. I would like to disable the lamp from any further clicks ie clickable.false etc etc..

Else i need to make another inv item to replace original..

Suggestions welcome

Did you perhaps accidentally save the old room as a room template?

by the way, why is it OK to throw acid on someone's face but not to kill them!

Acid will injure but not nessessarily kill someone.. Room was saved as normal.

Yes, about the code, false of habit i need to change... lol

You'll need to be much more specific about what exactly has happened and what you did...

This has appeared for some strange reason in Room 58, i don't even think I coded it originally as I used 'UseInv on mino' which is in room 53, Instead of below code!

Without deleting Hotspot(s) i am having to use new ones in Room 58.

Code: ags

function hHotspot1_UseInv()
{

   if (player.ActiveInventory == iacid) {
   Display("You throw the acid into the Minotaurs Face");
   cmino2.ChangeView(57);
   Display("You see a Key that has fallen from the Minotaur's pocket so you pick it up");
   cmino2.ChangeView(56);
   cindy_bones.AddInventory(iKey2);
   cmino2.FollowCharacter(null);
    cmino2.StopMoving();
  
  StopAmbientSound(1);
  Display("You need to finish the job and kill it!!!");
  cindy_bones.Say("I can't kill it, I'm not a murderer!! Professor! Come on we need to move on quick!!");
  cprof_plum.Say("I'm coming Indy!");
  
  cprof_plum.Transparency=0;
  cindy_bones.Say("Keep well away from him Professor, he may wake at any time!");
  cprof_plum.FollowCharacter(cindy_bones, 10, 90);
  
 }
 
 if (player.ActiveInventory == imatches) {
   Display("No good using matches!!");
   
}

 if (player.ActiveInventory == itorch2) {
   Display("No good using a torch!!");
   
}

 if (player.ActiveInventory == isword) {
   Display("You dare not go to close even with the sword!!");
 
}
}

Hi

Im very curious to know why some script from a Room appears in a later Room!

The earlier Room used Hotspots that now reside in the later Room script!

Any ideas??

Hi

I think I'm having a mind blowing time at the moment... could someone look at this for me and correct .. I think you should see what i am trying to do..  will explain more if asked.

Any tips with script appreciated..

Code: ags

function region2_WalksOnto()
{ 
  if (player.PreviousRoom==61)
   object[2].Move(42, 497, 4, eBlock, eAnywhere);
   
  if (player.PreviousRoom==61)
   cindy_bones.Say("We've done that task!");

  else
  
  if (player.HasInventory (irod)) {
  }
  if (player.PreviousRoom==59)
   
 Display("You enter into the next room cautiously");
    if (player.PreviousRoom==59)
   cprof_plum.ChangeRoom(60, 321, 355);
    if (player.PreviousRoom==59)
    cindy_bones.ChangeRoom(60, 331, 345);
}

cheers

Character.SetWalkSpeed(int x_speed, int y_speed);

That's:  cEgo.SetWalkSpeed(10,10)    

Simply change Character Name and speed number.. which in this case 10 for both x and y. Simply change speed to suit.

To change Game speed: SetGameSpeed(80);   set to suit.

Check out: SetWalkSpeed and  SetGameSpeed in the manual.

Hi

Can you not just use normal talk and not use a dialog?
