How about adapting AGS scripting like in Blocky.
It might be a good way to handle character movement.

The code for Nano giving the inv item is in the room script.

Do you mean you just wrote a function with "Useinv" postfix without actually binding it to event? That's not correct then.
Also, it really depends on what actually Marvin is. If it is a room object or hotspot, then event function should stay in the room. If it is a character, it must be put into GlobalScript.
ing  room script
Nano is the main character. So, I should put Nano's giving the inv item with the if else in the global script?  The giving the item is scripted as an event in the room script.

The code for Nano giving the inv item is in the room script.

Thanks, I will work on it again today.

Thank You, I will try it out right now.

function cMarvin_UseInv()
{
cMarvin.AddInventory(iBook);
cMarvin.ActiveInventory = (iBook);
cNano.LoseInventory(iBook);
  if(cMarvin.ActiveInventory==iBook)
      {
      Display("Finally, someone who appreciates how truly awful life really is.  I think I'll shut myself down now, or stick my head in a bucket of water for a while.");
      }
        else
    { 
      Display("That's even more depressing.");
    }
}

This is in the global script.
Good point about the Use inventory on character function.  I will check that out. I just used Useinv.

Yes I removed the text.  The else response is a negative statement that tells the player they gave the wrong item.
Preceding this I made the iBook the activeinventory item.

But you have SAME command both under "if" and under "else"...

if(cMarvin.ActiveInventory==iBook) {
    Display(".");
}
    else {
        Display(".");
    }
}

The above does not work.  Each character has an inventory item he recieves to calm down. A wrong item gets a different response.
They should give the else response. They always respond with the if response.

Thanks guys and gals!

My computer only has 512 meg memory.
I am looking for a small modelling program.
Especially to make walkcycles.
Not the one on the forums already.

I don't think it has been developed for years now. It could be considered abandonware. Maybe?

I have been trying to find a copy of this engine.  Just to see how it works.
Does anyone have a copy to put online for download (mediafire?)

The download link is down.

It is solved.  Thanks everyone.

Thanks, like I said I did read the if else documentation.
I will try it out now.  It is greek to me right now.

[if else]

Ok, I have a puzzle that the main character must give the other characters
a correct inventory item.
If they give a wrong item, then I need to have the game return without crashing.
I checked the help on disk and online
I was unable to make it work.
I used inventory on a character and I assume if the correct inv is not given
I need to use, if else.
I do the game on my other computer now which is not net enabled yet.
If I have to, I can copy what I have to a blank cd and transfer it over. I would rather not.

There is many ideas thrown around and it is hard to tell what is happening with AGS.
What is happening with the official version.
What is being planned?

Me (dbuske) and two others are making "Science Fiction"  a homage to sci-fi books, games and movies.

I am excited, having a writer, artist and advanced scripter for the first time.

The top pic is Nano the main character and the 2nd pic is the Introduction room.

Thanks
