Hey, I don't think there's a way to do this in the editor (maybe someone else knows?) But you could do it manually using SetViewport. Something like this in the room repeatedly execute function:

Code: ags

SetViewport((player.x - 160), desired y coord);

The saving in image size may not be worth it though.

Or do you mean clicking somewhere else next the button OK ?

Yes, formica meant that you have to click to the right of everything (items, ok-button..) to work. The area you have to click is shifted.

I remember having a similar problem years ago but don't remember what the problem/solution was 

I thought about the cursor hotspot too, but you said it works with other GUIs. Is the inventory GUI the only one from the new game template and you made the others by yourself? Could there be a resolution/coordinates problem? Have you tried making a new inventory?

Yes that's exactly it, you have to click to the right of the item you want to click on. I did try the cursor hotspot but it wasn't that either, and anyway everything is shifted by more than the width of the cursor. I haven't tried a new inventory yet but I'll post back here when I do if you're interested.

Thanks for the help everyone! I really appreciate it.

I'm not sure if this hint could be helpful, but I just try to guess your issue.
This is my idea, did you check this section already ?

int InvWindow.ItemHeight; / int InvWindow.ItemWidth;

Gets/sets the height of the rows in the inventory window. You should generally set this up in game_start to the height of your largest inventory item.
The default is 22.

Example:

Code: ags

invMain.ItemWidth = 50;
invMain.ItemHeight = 30;

Thanks for the suggestion guys, but messing with this doesn't seem to help. It's also not just inventory items but also the OK button, which is just a regular GUI button and not within the inventory area. All my other GUIs work fine, I'm not sure why this one is so mixed up.

Maybe I'll just re-make it and see if that works, it's not like its complicated

Hey! Sorry it took me forever to reply to this. I know very little about AGS so I can't say, but I did scour the code and remove everything so I guess it is the problem Crimson Wizard is talking about? I ended up rolling back, which wasn't as bad as I thought it would be at all. Out of curiousity I tried the module again, and this time got it working completely fine on the same game, though I'm sure my bad quitting habits persist.

Thanks hedgefield for the cool module!

I'm having a bizarre problem with my inventory GUI - the hitbox? for everything is moved to the right of the displayed sprite by some amount.



For example if I click the pink block thing I would get the key, and if I click to the right of the OK button it will work as if I've clicked it. I haven't had something like this happen before, any ideas please? This is basically identical to the default inventory but I've deleted the extra buttons.

Thanks!

AW YEAH definitely in on this, I want that hat trophy real bad.

Ok I'm gonna close voting now, and announce the winner in the edited first post. This was a close one! lots of ties.

nooooooooo :C i was sending mine now xD

Please do! I'm giving a bit of slack due to timezones and such. I'm sure no one will mind.

I don't know if it comes across but it's meant to be from everyone's favourite scene in Temple of Doom.

Last chance to enter guys, I'm going to open this for voting tomorrow. That's a shame adventuress, maybe next time?

Ahhhh no Cassie! The worst feeling in the world, when the little box of doom pops up. Still I think the result is awesome! I like the weird rainbow halo effect on that light column thing, really cool.

Kastchey: Woah now. I would definitely play this game. I can almost hear the like velociroptor scream that thing would make.

Awesomeness

That looks fantastic! I'd say it counts. Maybe more so with every passing day.

indeed a cool theme. And please tell me where is that last screen (bottom right) from?

Cheers That one is from the 2005 King Kong. Miserable movie but pretty cool sacrifice pylon-thingy.

Sweet, glad you guys like it Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with, there's a lot of interepretation that could go on.

formica, just want to say that your background is ace; it's a shame it won by default, but I think it would have taken it against most comers anyway!

Hey, thanks heaps Sci-fi is my favourite topic so it wasn't a huge stretch.

New thread is up!

UNHOLY TEMPLE

Most temples are nice places to commune with a benevolent god. Some are not.

Your evil temple can be for any god, demon, entity or alien. The only criteria is that this deity demands BLOOD SACRIFICE, and it will not be denied!

Your entry must be able to be used as a background in AGS, but what sort of place it is is completely up to you. Maybe it's a nice-folk church in the Midwest with a dark secret, or maybe it's a golden edifice built in the skeleton of a space dragon. Go nuts.

Please submit your entries here by the 21st of November. There will be trophies!

Welp, fair enough. I'll start a new one tomorrow then Gotta think of a theme.

Aw, well, thanks guys! I am happy to wait though if you want to keep working on that, Cassiebsg? It's looking awesome. I would rather wait than win against an empty field And please don't stop posting them!

That is an awesome plan Are you using sketchup or something like that? it looks great!

Apart from popups showing off a few bunnys in tight lingerie, nothing here. Either you are in the wrong forums or consider another provider.

Wow really? The link is working for me but maybe that's part of the trick o.o I'll find another host.

EDIT: Ok, the host has been changed to Mediafire. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Hey thanks guys Can't wait to see some other entries

sweet indeed, an entry already.
What do you mean, finish it? This looks great already!

Oh, just haven't done a pixel pass yet. And the 'colour's are a cheap photoshop filter
