Hi guys we are trying to give the possibility to skip a dialogue only if it was just said.
the only solution we found was to use a global variable for any dialogue that occurs again but we don't want to do it , moreover the things should happen also on object, hotspot... decription.
It can be done? is there a module that have this function?
thanks

I've tried this code without lockview and animate and the classic speech view doesn't work so i solved like this:

Code: ags

     int dialoghi=0;
function room_RepExec()
{
    if (BISTICCIO==true){
    if (dialoghi==0){cbibl.LockView(43);cbibl.Animate(0, 6, eRepeat, eNoBlock, eForwards);cbibl.SayBackground("asdas");SetTimer(1,80);SetTimer(2, 60);dialoghi++;}
    if (IsTimerExpired(2)){cbibl.UnlockView();SetTimer(1, 20);}
    if (dialoghi==1&&IsTimerExpired(1)){cbibl.LockView(43);cbibl.Animate(0, 6, eRepeat, eNoBlock, eForwards);cbibl.SayBackground("asdas");SetTimer(1,80);SetTimer(2, 60);dialoghi++;}
    if (dialoghi==2&&IsTimerExpired(1)){cbibl.LockView(43);cbibl.Animate(0, 6, eRepeat, eNoBlock, eForwards);cbibl.SayBackground("asdas");SetTimer(1,80);SetTimer(2, 60);dialoghi++;}
    if (dialoghi==3&&IsTimerExpired(1)){cbibl.LockView(43);cbibl.Animate(0, 6, eRepeat, eNoBlock, eForwards);cbibl.SayBackground("asdas");SetTimer(1,80);SetTimer(2, 60);dialoghi++;}
    if (dialoghi==4&&IsTimerExpired(1)){cbibl.LockView(43);cbibl.Animate(0, 6, eRepeat, eNoBlock, eForwards);cbibl.SayBackground("asdas");SetTimer(1,80);SetTimer(2, 60);dialoghi++;}
    if (dialoghi==5&&IsTimerExpired(1)){cbibl.LockView(43);cbibl.Animate(0, 6, eRepeat, eNoBlock, eForwards);cbibl.SayBackground("asdas");SetTimer(1,80);SetTimer(2, 60);dialoghi++;}
    if (dialoghi==6&&IsTimerExpired(1)){cbibl.LockView(43);cbibl.Animate(0, 6, eRepeat, eNoBlock, eForwards);cbibl.SayBackground("asdas");SetTimer(1,80);SetTimer(2, 60);dialoghi++;}
    if (dialoghi==7&&IsTimerExpired(1)){cbibl.LockView(43);cbibl.Animate(0, 6, eRepeat, eNoBlock, eForwards);cbibl.SayBackground("asdas");SetTimer(1,80);SetTimer(2, 60);dialoghi++;}
    if (dialoghi==8&&IsTimerExpired(1)){cbibl.LockView(43);cbibl.Animate(0, 6, eRepeat, eNoBlock, eForwards);cbibl.SayBackground("asdas");SetTimer(1,80);SetTimer(2, 60);dialoghi++;}
    if (dialoghi==9&&IsTimerExpired(1)){cbibl.LockView(43);cbibl.Animate(0, 6, eRepeat, eNoBlock, eForwards);cbibl.SayBackground("asdas");SetTimer(1,80);SetTimer(2, 60);dialoghi++;}
    if (dialoghi==10&&IsTimerExpired(1)){cbibl.LockView(43);cbibl.Animate(0, 6, eRepeat, eNoBlock, eForwards);cbibl.SayBackground("asdas");SetTimer(1,80);SetTimer(2, 60);dialoghi++;}
    if (dialoghi==11&&IsTimerExpired(1)){cbibl.LockView(43);cbibl.Animate(0, 6, eRepeat, eNoBlock, eForwards);cbibl.SayBackground("asdas");SetTimer(1,80);SetTimer(2, 60);dialoghi++;}
    if (dialoghi==12&&IsTimerExpired(1)){cbibl.LockView(43);cbibl.Animate(0, 6, eRepeat, eNoBlock, eForwards);cbibl.SayBackground("asdas");SetTimer(1,80);SetTimer(2, 60);dialoghi++;}
    if (dialoghi==13&&IsTimerExpired(1)){dialoghi=0;}
    
  }
  
}

is there a lighter way to do this?

Hi guys, is there a way to check if the dialogue is running?
like

Code: ags

if (dPlayer is running) {
                do some stuff}
 or          if (dPlayer is stopped){
                do other stuff}

thank you for the answers.

hi, i want to move clouds in background even when the dialogue is running, i did like this

Code: ags

function room_RepExec()
{ 

if (IsTimerExpired(4)){ocloud.X=ocloud.X - 1;SetTimer(4, 20);}
if (IsTimerExpired(5)){ocloud1.X=ocloud1.X - 1;SetTimer(5, 20);}
}

but doesn't work during dialogue, the clouds stop moving i tried also with object.move but the speed is too much fast
any suggestion?

Hello guys, this is my first game, i'm a big fan of Lovecraft and even a big fan of lucasarts adventure. So why do not mix them together? the game is in very first stage, i'm from Italy and the game is in italian for now, but on release it will be a translation (not made by me, don't worry), i'm also sure that the title will change one day but at this moment it's not my priority. The story is inspired by the Shadow over Innsmouth , one of my favourite novel of H.P. Lovecraft, but with much humor. I hope you will enjoy the idea and the screenshot. More news will coming soon.

Added a photo from the main menu, soon a video with some gameplay ( i need time to mount it )

hello, i would like to add and remove instrument in certain point of the game. Is there a way to run multiple audio track of the same duration and mute or unmute on event within the script? i didn't find it in the manual but perhaps someone has found a way to do this. Maybe i can use setRoomLocation or Audiochannel.volume but i don't know if the sync beetween track will be accurate.

EDIT: i solved using an ambient music adding two sound at 0 volume of two different instrument and rising volume when the player walks on a certain region. For now it works really well. I wonder if exist the possibility that the sync may get lost for reasons i can't recognize. i'm using wav file. thanks for the answers
