Hello, I have in my game SierraWithBackgorund as Speech style in my general settings.
But there are sometimes which I prefer not showing the mugshots.
So I'm using
Speech.Style = eSpeechLucasarts;
in my script.
The first problem is that whenever the character speaks it turns in the mugshot, as the SpeechView is still the mugshot. Then I change the SpeechView to the standard view of the caracter, and then whenever the character speaks it does the walking movement.
How can I deal with this problem?

Regards.

Hello.

I am having a Null Pointer Exception with an Audio Channel set in one room, but it happens the second time I visit the room.

Code: ags

AudioChannel *acPropaganda;

function room_Load() {
 acPropaganda = aSpeech_close.Play();
 acPropaganda.SetRoomLocation(866, 252);
}

function room_Leave(){//Always exit from Station Out
 if(acPropaganda.IsPlaying) {
    acPropaganda.Stop();
 }
}

The SetRoomLocation line is the one which is returning the error, I tried using

Code: ags

function room_Load() {
 acPropaganda = aSpeech_close.Play();
 if (acPropaganda == null) 
  acPropaganda.SetRoomLocation(866, 252);
}

but then I'm having the Null Pointer Exception in the if.
I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Hello,

I've been trying to make my character to change the view but it is not doing it.

Code: ags

    Isaac.ChangeView(583);
    Display("%d", Isaac.View);

The display it shows the number 583 rightly, but it is showing the normal view of the character. The view 583 is showing other sprites.

I think that this is a kind of bug.

I'm still using the 3.5.1 and the last patch, by the way.

Hello.

I'm trying to block the character while a GUI is shown, but I don't want to pause the game.
The problem is that this GUI doesn't block the whole window, so while this GUI is shown if I click outside of it,
the player walks and even it can do interactions. So I want to block any interaction with the room while this GUI is opened.
How can I do this?

Thanks and regards.

Hello.
Every NPC in my game is displaying every "Say" text in white, in spite they have another color selected in Speech.Color.

Why is this happening?

Hello,
I want to know if there is a way to disable the mugshot for some characters in a Sierra Speech Style game.
I just want to make some not relevant NPCs speak without the mugshot, or NPCs which are not visible in the screen.
I have the Saybackground function, but this function is writes the text always in white color, so it is difficult to know who is talking if there are more than one NPC speaking.
Regard.

Hello all, long time no see.

I'm receiving a random error while setting SetRoomLocation method to an AudioChannel as soon as I enter in one room.
Error running function 'room_AfterFadeIn': Error: Null pointer referenced
The weirdest thing is that it happens one time every four times I enter in the room.
This is the code, and I just using it as it is refered in the manual.

Code: ags

//ROOM SCRIPT
AudioChannel *carBurning;

function room_AfterFadeIn(){
    carBurning = aExplosionroom_burningcar.Play();
    carBurning.SetRoomLocation(oCarFire.X, oCarFire.Y); //This is the row that the error points
}

BTW, if it works sometimes it just stops playing when another sound in the room is played (not using that AudioChannel)
BTW, I'm using AGS (Build 3.5.1.16)

Hello.
I would like to personalize some Characters with some special features.
For example, I would like to add a bool variable which defines if the Character is alive or dead.
I don't know if it is posible to do that. I want to clean global variables to define this.
Which would be the better way of doing this in AGS?

Hello.
The following code is in global script/execute always function.
It works to create animation for character when you are using mushots aswell, but it is not working when the character speaks inside a dialog,
it seems that the character inside the dialog is not detecting Character.Speaking function.

Code: ags

  if (Sara.Speaking && !Sara.Animating) {
    Sara.ChangeView(242); //Change to speaking animation
    Sara.Animate(Sara.Loop, 3, eRepeat, eNoBlock, eForwards);
  } else if(!Sara.Speaking && Sara.View == 242) {
    Sara.ChangeView(244); //Change back to walk animation
  }

Any idea about how to solve it?

Hello.

My global script is growing and growing, and now it is so long that it is really difficult to read.
How it would be the best solution to keep all the Character and inventory interactions in separated scripts?

Hello.

In the eKey list I don't see a eKey for the Enter key (eKeyEnter)
Does it have another name?

Hello.

Seems that Character.Moving function is not detecting the movement of my character out of a point and click movement.
If I'm moving the character through a Character.Walk function blocked then the Character.Moving returns false.
I also tried to do it through Character.Frame > 0 and still doesn't work.
How I'm able to know that the Character is moving then?

This function is run through the RepExec.

Code: ags

function walking() {
  if (stop == true && Character.Moving == true){
    stop=false;
    Display("Inside");
  }
}

Hello.

I have an struct which have some methods on it and it can be used from any room of the game.

Code: ags

struct Actions{
  import static void Restablecer();
};

But now I am trying to call one of this method from another method not included in a room (in an external script) but AGS don't recognize it. And it says Error (linex): Undefined token 'Actions'

Code: ags

function HangUpPhone() {
  Actions.Restablecer();
}

How can resolve this?

Hello.

I am trying to create someking of an instance msg app for the inventory, and I am using a struct with an array, at is explained in AGS documentation.
This is the struct in the header of a script:

Code: ags

struct MsgPDA {
 String Sender;
 String Message;
};

And in the body of the script I have declared the array as:

Code: ags

MsgPDA msg[30];

And through the following function above in the same script I'm trying to make it able to call from any room or the game.

Code: ags

void MessageContent(int index, String sender, String sms) {
  msg[index].Sender = sender:
  msg[index].Message = sms;
}

It says that msg is an undefined token.
What am I doing wrong?

Regards.

Hello all.

I'm having the following issue.
When I change the y axis parameter it just ignores the continuous Scaling of the room and goes back to the 100% size of the character.

Code: ags

Character.y += 10;

Do you know how I can avoid this?

Regards.

Hello.

I am trying to create a function to make my player to change his view, but as the view it has not the same size than the Normal view I need to move this new view to place so there won't be a gap from one to another. If I do it in a room without scaling that is easy, but the problem happens when the character is in a room where there is scaling, because the distance from one view to another changes.

I would like to know how this scaling works, because if I understand how it works I would make it work in any place of the walkable area.
Also I would like to know if there is a way to get the actual scaling where the player is, so then I would be able to apply a calculation.

This is how it works. There is another method who sents first the parameters, and the second option in parameter direccion sets back to the first position.

Code: ags

static void Actions::Correcciones(Character *personaje, int x, int y, Direction direccion) {
  if (direccion == eForwards) {
    personaje.x = personaje.x + x; 
    personaje.y = personaje.y + y;
  }
  else {
    personaje.x = personaje.x - x; 
    personaje.y = personaje.y - y;
  }
}

Hello.

I would like to transfer all the items from one character to another character which is going to be the player.ç
I was trying to create a for to transfer them from one to another, but I don't know which property gets the number of that array

Code: ags

  for(i = 1, i < CharacterA.InventoryQuantity[].length(), i++) {
    CharacterB.InventoryQuantity[i] = CharacterA.InventoryQuantity[i]; 
  }

Thank you.
