ok, I found the resolution. 

if (character [GetPlayerCharacter()].activeinv == 8){
 
SetCharacterView (EGO,16);
AnimateCharacter (EGO,0,5,1);
Wait(18);   // <---this is important. Without it the animation can't be seen
ReleaseCharacterView (EGO);


SetObjectView (3,15);
AnimateObject (3, 0, 1, 1);

DisplaySpeech(EGO,"Oh no the cable went out! Must be the damn antenna again.");


int blubba;
blubba = GetGlobalInt(4);
blubba++;
SetGlobalInt(4,blubba);}



else {
DisplaySpeech(EGO,"I don't wanna use this with my TV.");}

I have to release the characterview right away.

I try to describe what I was trying to do a little more detailed:

The character has a remote control(inv item 8). if it is used on the tv (object 5) the character shall move his arm and "press" the remote control. after that the tv shall bring a picture.

this works fine if I use the predefined help-funkctions. but I want an own script so, that I can modify some GlobalInts and use some "else if's" and elses.


If I don't release the characterview my buddy walks around using the remote all the time. If I release it later (after the object animation is finished), it stays as before:
the object animates, the character walks normal, but he doesn't move his arm and doesn't press the remote control.
I apollogize for my bad english

hello I have a simple question.
I recently started programming a adventure game with ags.

during scripting I a error accured:

I tried to do this:

object 5
conditional (if inventory Item was used) : 8
quick animation (view 16, loop 0, speed 12)
change obejct view : 3
animate object: 5

that works fine, but I wanted to wirte it as a script, so that the character displays a speech, when any othe item was used.

I got so far:

if (character [GetPlayerCharacter()].activeinv ==  8 ) {
 
SetCharacterView (EGO,16);
AnimateCharacter (EGO,0,12,0); (last value is for boolean False)
ReleaseCharacterView (EGO);

SetObjectView (3,15);
AnimateObject (3, 0, 1, 1);
DisplaySpeech(EGO,"Oh no the cable went out! Must be the damn antenna again.");



}
else {
DisplaySpeech(EGO,"I don't wanna use this with my TV.");} 

But now the character doesn't do the animation anymore. what is wrong??
the object animation works fine and the message is displayed. I don't see the error. can anybody help?
I already tried a lot.
