Hi

If you find that the Inv items are to close together or overlapping in the Inv window (maybe some Inv Items are bigger than others) then either reduce the size of the bigger Inv sprites or adjust the ItemHeight and ItemWidth sizes of the GUI gInventory properties until you're happy with the Inv spacing. Maybe adjust the whole Inv Window sizes itself if need be.

Check out this link as well as the Manual you have:

http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/manual/Voice%20speech.htm

Seriously recommend you upgrade to 3.1 at somepoint!

All speech files must start with the first 4 characters of the player's scriptname who is saying it.. then put a number.

IE    cSim1.ogg     cTom2.ogg    cBen1.ogg   etc

In Room put your script like this example:

cSimon.Say("&1 Hi! How are you?");    THIS WILL PLAY cSim1.ogg
cTom.Say("&2 I'm fine.");                      THIS WILL PLAY cTom2.ogg

make sure the ogg files go into your Game (Not complied) folder (2.6/2.72 versions), then rebuild VOX file.  Put in Speech Folder if using 3.1

Hope this helps.

You need to assign a function (condition) for if the player HasInventory DO THIS Else DO THIS

EG

Code: ags

{
  if(player.HasInventory(igun))
  {
    Display("You go back into Al's Diner"); 
    player.ChangeRoom(5, 153, 393);
  }
  else
  {
    
     Display("You have'nt got your gun yet!");
  }
}

Obviously you need to amend the above code to what you want to happen..

This is all in the Manual..

Hi

I generally use a hotspot over an object if its quite small and use that to set the events... depending what the event are supposed to achieve...

barefoot

have you tried selecting another midi option in the setup program?

how about:

Code: ags

cABC.SetAsPlayer(); // Or whatever the actual ScriptName - not RealName - of the character is

Hi

I believe its 40 objects per room, so hyperthetically you could have 20 rooms each with 40 objects.

You can use the same object as many times as you like.

An object is a sprite that you can use over and over.

Read the manual, it explains about this and many other things about AGS.

thanks khris

Hi

I am using:

Code: ags

btnIconInv.Enabled = false;

It works perfect. My only question is is it possible to have some kind of text displayed explaining why you can't access inventory...

Something like "It's best not to let anyone here know what you have, keep it hidden"

thanks for any help on this

UPDATE
Meanwhile Im using 'Say' on entry to Room, which may well suffice...  and then Enabling btnIconInv at a certain point in that Room.

Just wonder if my query was possible.

Hi

You should make a view of the animation you want the character to do before walking and turning using the ChangeView command then changing it back? Maybe have it on a Timer for each time you use it, possibly using regions to activate the timer to change view and walk to....?

Something along these lines....possibly

Are you trying to play video? I might be right in saying that its only for audio

QUOTE

File extension OGV description:
Ogg Vorbis is a new audio compression format. It is roughly comparable to other formats used to store and play digital music, such as MP3, VQF, AAC, and other digital audio formats. It is different from these other formats because it is completely free, open, and unpatented.

About the Head: That seems a great way....

UPDATE: Works a treat.... thanks......

Hi

I know that Objects and Characters block Hotspots, but is there another way to allow Hotspots on Characters?

The Character does talk, otherwise I could embed on the Background.

I have set up several Hotspots that work with an Inv Item, but of course the Hotspot is activated off-set... I have placed the Hotspot dot in various places on inv item.

SCENERIO:

A Character is chained up (so unable to move) and is hit with a baseball bat, I wanted a different reaction depending on where he is hit.. and in a certain place the character spills the beans, as it were...


Example of one Hotspot I am using:

Code: ags

function hHotspot2_UseInv()
{
if(player.HasInventory(ibat))
     {
         
     johnny.Say("Ouch you son of a bitch. Ok, I'll talk!!!");
     
hHotspot1.Enabled = false;
hHotspot2.Enabled = false;
 cEgo.Say("Tell us where Diva Maria is!!!");
   }
  else
  {

 
  johnny.Say("That won't work sonny!");

  }
}

Cheers for any insight into this

Thank Khris

Im using that in combination with other stuff..

Hi

I know about SayBackground, except its not SayAt... where you place it where you want.

I may be able to work around this..

Code: ags

game.bgspeech_stay_on_display 

QUOTE FROM MANUAL:
If 0 (default), background speech is removed when a Say command happens; if 1, it isn't.

I need this to have a value of 1...  how do I put the 1 in, code wise ?


thanks anyway guys

I will check out that module
