So, where and how bad is the lag, exactly? Both Hotspots or just one?

Its in both places all my animation finishes and you can then take the mouse and click several times before it allows you to use the hotspots Its not a horrible amount of time probably about a min but thats an eternity when a player is like whats up here why wont this work.

once it take hold it works every time and you can click over and over and get the desired effect somethings just keeping it from working for a while at first

}

ok i figured this out

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

If the sprites are ripped from the 25th anniversary game is there any chance of seeing them released to the public?

send me your emails to jamesreg1973@gmail.com and i will upload you the sprites from judgement rites and 25th anniversary

Ok fixed it this is what I had to do



//Introduction room script






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

RemoveWalkableArea (1);     //keeps player from moving

PlayMusic(1);              //play star trek theme

SetBackgroundFrame(0);      //switch to title screen 1

Wait(600);                  //wait for a moment

SetBackgroundFrame(1);      //switch to title screen 2

Wait(350);                  //wait for a moment

SetBackgroundFrame(2);      //switch to title screen 3

Wait(1000);                 //wait for a moment

StopMusic ();               //stop the music

mouse.Visible = true;       //Restores Mouse usage

player.Transparency=(0);    //make character visable

PlaySound(1);               //play transporter sound
 
 
  ckirk.LockView(VKIRKBEAM1); //sets kirks transporter sprite view
  cSpock.LockView(VSPOCKBEAM1); //sets spocks transporter sprite view


  ckirk.Animate(0, 5, eOnce,eNoBlock); // show kirks transporter beaming in effect under title
  cSpock.Animate(0, 5, eOnce,  eBlock);//Blocks the script till everyone has beamed onto screen
   ckirk.LockView(VKIRKWALK); //Locks kirks view so he is frozen on screen
   

}

Thanks guys your a big help

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

Thanks very much for the help and the quick replies

That didn't work I changed his normal view to transporter view and that did the trick guess i Just need to change the view back after he means down.

Works perfectly except one problem kirk instantly start beaming down like he should but spock for a moment appears in his stranding mode then goes though beam cycle its only for a split sec other then that the script works just as I want it too.

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.

If the sprites are ripped from the 25th anniversary game is there any chance of seeing them released to the public?

I have ripped both the sprites from judgement rites and 25th anniversary there are a few I could not find the palette for so out of several hundred sprites them may be a couple dozen at most that the colors off but all the main characters sprites are there intact. I am working on ripping the music and animations and sound effects, voice clips as well as some of the icons and interface things too. I am at the moment away from the pc that I have all that on and will be for a couple weeks acctully as my wife has it on her laptop out of town right now. But when she gets back I will finish ripping all the other things and will consider releasing them somewhere online so everyone can access them.

Original I was going to use them for this project but we decided our backgrounds that we was creating was better then the judgement rites ones and had to scrap the plans to use them but im sure others will be able to use them

Its my goal with this project that others will follow suit and do some trek games.

I will see what i can do about getting them uploaded in the next couple weeks and will post here when I do.

The Graphics many of which were borrowed from the canceled game Secret of vulcan fury by interplay and the sprites from Judgement rites also from interplay.

However our game has gone though a complete overhaul since the listing of this posting.
We are doing away with any borrowed backgrounds or sprites and creating our own new ones.

Everything in game will be completely new graphics and sprites.

We are using poser created 3d sets of the rooms for the enterprise and rendering 2d backgrounds from those
we will also be using 3d poser characters for our sprites that will be rendered into 2d.

We will feature all 23 decks of the ship and you will be able to fully explore the ship not just goto one room as needed.

The game format and story line has changed as well.

Instead of being an original story line based in the fourth year of the mission.

The story will focus on year one of the mission and will include 9 of the original season one episodes.

Many people may not like the idea of not doing an original story and using old material for the game.
But the purpose of the project is two fold.

1) To honor the series and its fans by giving them a new way to experience these adventures they have seen 100 times by allowing them for the first time to join in and live their favorite episodes.

2) To introduce new fans who may have come aboard though this new movie to how timeless the old shows are and hope they will want to go and watch them.

We are not revealing which episodes we are using but will give you a hint to one of them and to how fun the game play will be Imagine having to run around a planet from a growling overgrown lizard and build a canon to stop him.

Will year five be a separate game?

Yeah I wasnt too clear about that sorry. The game will be divided into several mission style scenarios similar to the
way the 25th anniversary/judgement rites games were and the story will revolve around the fourth year of the five
year mission and at this time if all goes well and people like the game there will be multiple games to follow as we
are building the enterprise scenes and such up to set up as a template to be able to launch many games from
after if we wanted to. if response is good enough for more games then the rest will focus on the year five of the mission
taking it to the point they return home and kirk is promoted leading into the events prior to the first movie.

does that answer your question?
