I have a character portrait gui in the corner of my game screen
I have it set up so that if the player clicks on the portrait of the player character then it will display a gui with the inventory in it
how would I go about making it disapear after a few mins if the player has not used the inventory?

function room_AfterFadeIn()
{
 mouse.Visible = false;      //turns mouse off

RemoveWalkableArea (1);     //keeps player from moving

SetMusicRepeat(0);

PlayMusic(1);            //play star trek theme

}

I want to have two buttons on my start screen a play new game button and a continure Previous game button.

I was able to set up the start new game button button but I can not figure out how to make the previous game button open the load game gui I am using default game and my area that I wish to use as my load previous game button is a clickable hotspot.

What do I need to do to get it to open the restore game screen when a player clicks on that hotspot

Thanks you

Hello all,

I want to have a hotspot on the screen and have the user be able to click it and then want a sound file to play but I wish to have several optional sound files to play and have ags pick at random which one will play when the player clicks that hotspot. Hope that made sense.

Im sure its very easy to code but I just got to the point of learning to make one sound file play lol.

Could someone be kind enough to possibly show me how I would achieve what I want.

Thank you in advance

I know this is probably listed somewhere but having trouble finding it and the commands I think do it don't work

If I am doing a scene where I have a character appear on screen via an animation sequence then I do not want the
player to be able to move the character I just want him frozen on screen but i still want you to be able to move the mouse and do other things on the screen how do i do this

I know this is simple as pie just not for me lol

Ok,

I have a problem I am making a Star Trek game and I am attempting to create a Scene where Kirk, Spock, McCoy beam down to a planet
Fairly basic Trek scene that will be used though out the game.

I have all my beaming down sprites cycles and have scripted it in so that kirk beams down no problem even have the sound playing and its all timed just right.

My problem lays in when I add spock to it what happens is spock appears on screen in his normal standing view waits for kirk to go though the beam down cycle and then spock goes into beam down cycle after kirk has. I need them to both do it at the same time

here is what I scripted and I am sure I left a lot of things out I am totaly new to scripting and figuring most of this out as I go.

function room_AfterFadeIn()
{
  PlaySound(1);
  ckirk.LockView(VKIRKBEAM1);
   ckirk.Animate(0, 5, eOnce);
   cSpock.LockView(VSPOCKBEAM1);
   cSpock.Animate(0, 5, eOnce);
}


I will need to script this so I can have multiple people going though the beam down cycle at the same time I am sure it is simple just do not know what to add.

thank you.
