disable region().....enable region()....
does`nt seem to be in my version  2.55 cr2
it only allows you to enable/disable hotspots and interfaces.....
i am a good scripter....hopefully my finished game will show that...
but the option to toggle regions is causing me problems....
i`ve read the manual and constantly use the a-z context help...

can you please help....

i am using regions to open sliding doors and to trigger a cutscene....
but i have come across a prob...if the player uses an interaction..e.g. use inventory item on something.....if the character while carrying out the request crosses the regions the game locks up....is there a way to disable regions like you can with hotspots...
cheers

i used this instead........
if (character[DAV].loop....
to get the result i needed....thanks
i wanted to set a graphicglobalvariable..
i`m not sure if that can be done...
i noticed getgraphicglobalvariable to read them...in a script...
i got round my problem anyway


thanks mate

i have been trying to set a global variable inside a script.....not having any luck can anyone help.....i basically want a character in the game after a dialog option has been chosen ...for the character to look away....which i have done inside the dialog script

eg:-  

function dialog_request (int x) {
   // your code here
if (x ==5){
SetCharacterView(DAV,25);
AnimateCharacter(DAV,2,0,0);

GUIOn(2);}
}

but i want to set the global variable after the charater starts animating....please help....or my game will lose one of its puzzles


thanks

In production at the moment.....will be 11 rooms or so...6 characters...
about 30% ...complete...
Its in the future not sure when....
Your character awakes in a prision cell with no memory...as he gets through the game he has flashbacks of what and why he`s in this predicament.....
heres some screenshots....

I will probaly release the game when its totally finished and tested for bugs...

Any one know where to get some good SFX...#
ive been searching everywhere for a sliding door wav...(space ship door).. not come across anything...yet..

sorted out all problems now and works perfectly....here is code for anyone interested....

function repeatedly_execute() {

if ((IsButtonDown(RIGHT)==0) && (rbutton_pressed == 1)){rbutton_pressed = 0;}
if (IsGamePaused()==0){

if  (IsButtonDown(RIGHT)==1){
     if (rbutton_pressed == 0) {
    SetNextCursorMode();
    rbutton_pressed = 1; }
 
}
}

if (IsGamePaused()==0){
if (GetInvAt (mouse.x, mouse.y)!=-1){
   if (GetCursorMode()==1) SetMouseCursor(8);
   if (GetCursorMode()==2)SetMouseCursor(5);
   if (GetCursorMode()==3)SetMouseCursor(9);
   }
}
if (IsGamePaused()==0){
if (GetInvAt (mouse.x, mouse.y)==-1){
   if ((GetCursorMode()==1) && (IsGamePaused()==0))SetMouseCursor(1);
   if (GetCursorMode()==2)SetMouseCursor(2);
   if (GetCursorMode()==3)SetMouseCursor(3);
}
}
//this part allows player to use look for each inventory item ....DON`T use Inventory items interaction for look the rest should be okay to use..

if ((GetInvAt (mouse.x, mouse.y)==1)&& (IsButtonDown(LEFT)==1) && (GetCursorMode()==1)){DisplayMessage(500);}
if ((GetInvAt (mouse.x, mouse.y)==2)&& (IsButtonDown(LEFT)==1) && (GetCursorMode()==1)){DisplayMessage(501);}
if ((GetInvAt (mouse.x, mouse.y)==3)&& (IsButtonDown(LEFT)==1) && (GetCursorMode()==1)){DisplayMessage(502);}
if ((GetInvAt (mouse.x, mouse.y)==4)&& (IsButtonDown(LEFT)==1) && (GetCursorMode()==1)){DisplayMessage(503);}
if ((GetInvAt (mouse.x, mouse.y)==5)&& (IsButtonDown(LEFT)==1) && (GetCursorMode()==1)){DisplayMessage(504);}
if ((GetInvAt (mouse.x, mouse.y)==6)&& (IsButtonDown(LEFT)==1) && (GetCursorMode()==1)){DisplayMessage(505);}
if ((GetInvAt (mouse.x, mouse.y)==7)&& (IsButtonDown(LEFT)==1) && (GetCursorMode()==1)){DisplayMessage(506);}
if ((GetInvAt (mouse.x, mouse.y)==8)&& (IsButtonDown(LEFT)==1) && (GetCursorMode()==1)){DisplayMessage(507);}
if ((GetInvAt (mouse.x, mouse.y)==9)&& (IsButtonDown(LEFT)==1) && (GetCursorMode()==1)){DisplayMessage(508);}
if ((GetInvAt (mouse.x, mouse.y)==10)&& (IsButtonDown(LEFT)==1) && (GetCursorMode()==1)){DisplayMessage(509);}
if ((GetInvAt (mouse.x, mouse.y)==11)&& (IsButtonDown(LEFT)==1) && (GetCursorMode()==1)){LoseInventory(11);NewRoom(8);}
}
 



function on_mouse_click(int button) {

 if (IsGamePaused() == 0) {
   // Game is paused, so do nothing
 if (button==LEFT) {
     ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, GetCursorMode() );}

}
}

Got it working.....this is what i used..:-

function repeatedly_execute() {

 if (IsButtonDown(RIGHT)==1) {
  if (rbutton_pressed == 0) {
    SetNextCursorMode();
    rbutton_pressed = 1;
  }
 }
 else rbutton_pressed = 0;


if (IsGamePaused()==0){
if (GetInvAt (mouse.x, mouse.y)!=-1){
  if (GetCursorMode()==1)SetMouseCursor(8);
   if (GetCursorMode()==2)SetMouseCursor(5);
   if (GetCursorMode()==3)SetMouseCursor(9);

   }
if (GetInvAt (mouse.x, mouse.y)==-1){
   if (GetCursorMode()==1)SetMouseCursor(1);
   if (GetCursorMode()==2)SetMouseCursor(2);
   if (GetCursorMode()==3)SetMouseCursor(3);
}
   }
}

//  and i changed the on mouse click to this....

function on_mouse_click(int button) {

 if (IsGamePaused() == 1) {
   // Game is paused, so do nothing
 }
else if (button==LEFT) {
     ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, GetCursorMode() );
}

Thanks for helping me head in the right direction....
cheers

thanks everyone i`ll try and get it working....
cheers

Still not working....
the setup i have is cursors that are cycled by a right click and they also change when over items ..objects..hotspots....eg closed eye opens when over hotspot....
i have a custom GUI with 2 buttons to scroll inventory and a inventory box....which is on all the time....it would make my game slicker if the
cursor did`nt need to be moved out of the gui to change MODE_....
also if the cursor changed when over inventory items...
if anyone can help, it would be much appriciated
cheers  

tried script did`nt work but has given me a few idea to play with....cheers

ps if you can think of anything else let me know ..

I am in the process of making my first game....its based in the future. The player character doesnt know to much at the start....
its hopefully going to be around 8-9 rooms with a handful of characters...
i don`t want to get to big....i have done about 4 rooms and lots of animations and puzzles so far...and  i would like to get a few people to
test and give some feedback,so i know i heading in the right direction...
cheers

Can any one point me in the right direction regarding changing the global script to allow the cursor to cycle to the next mode when the mouse is over a customized gui/inventory window.....
In the game i am working on i use the right mouse click  to cycle..eg look /walk / talk etc.
but when the mouse cursor is over my inventory gui it won`t function until i move it out of the gui int to the game area...
