Hi again. I'm just full of questions today...

I want to place a character into a room after a certain event occurs. However, I can't find the script code for adding a new character to a room.

First, here is the script:

// script for room: Repeatedly execute
if (GetGlobalInt(2) == 3) {
if (GetGlobalInt(3) == 2) {
PlaySound(2);
SetGlobalInt(2,4);     
}   
}

My character is preparing for a party. He must do two things before the guests arrive (Int 2 and 3). After he completes these, the guests arrive (sound2 = doorbell). However, the current script plays the sound the very second the character finishes the second task. I want there to be a good 5 to 10 second delay before the guests arrive. However, if I use "wait" the game locks up, I do not want this.  I want for the player to be able to continue playing for these 5-10 seconds. Any way this can be done?

Hi guys,

Is there a way to have the text only advance when the mouse is clicked? I don't want it to be timed.

I played around and got it working.

Thanks Darth.

However, when I do that, I get this message:

variable required on left of assignment.

What does that mean?

Ok, maybe I should ask diferently:

What is the best way to change the room's background image mid-game?

Hi,

I have a light switch that causes the background to change  BMP. Now, I think I have it scripted right, but it is screwing up because the frames are animated. How do I turn background animation off?

Nope, tries both. Still getting the error?

Hi,

When I try to play an AGS game, I get the message:

"Unable to initialize your audio hardware.
Problem: Failed to init digital sound driver"

Anyone know what is causing this? Everything else on my computer uses sound just fine.

Wow, thanks for the quick reply. I new there had to be a way to do it. Now, just out of curiousity, it there a way to see what the line will look like. As in MSPaint where you hold the mouse button down in order to position the line exactly where you want? If not, this method will still definitely work.

Thanks again.

Hi guys,

I used to post here quite a bit. I haven't made a game in over two years and feel like gettin back into it.

I know this SEEMS like an easy question, but I just can't figure it out. I'm making an old-school style sierra game. I'm making my 320x200 backgrounds in Photoshop 7. I'm using primarily the pencil tool as to keep the graphics basic (I don't want antialiasing or any of that). My problem is that I can't make a straight line. There is a line tool, but is creates a new layer and is anti-aliased. Is there a way to have a SIMPLE line tool (a la MSPaint) which acts just like the pencil, but creates a line instead?

Thanks a lot.
