1000 thanks to Wolfgang.
I would have never figured that out myself

Here is something else that is wrong with my game.

Whenever I have a goto-dialog X command, it dosent display the 3 dialog options, it just jumps right into the first option of the new dialog.  That sucks  

Also, if I have a command to show a hidden option, it just ignores all of my return comands and goes right into the next thing.

can someone help?
I'll give you a sample of my code:

SHRIMP: No one really needs anything in this store anymore.
SHRIMP: I remember the good old days when fish would come from miles around jut to check out what I had..."
SHRIMP:  Nope.  Nowadays it's just fancy there and young that."
SHRIMP: No one cares about us old merchants.
GARY: Wow.
goto-dialog 2

here is dialog 2:

// dialog script file
@S  // dialog startup entry point
@1  // option 1
SHRIMP:  Umm, let me think about it...
SHRIMP: NO!!
goto-dialog 3
@2  // option 2
SHRIMP:  OK.
goto-dialog 2

gracias

GUIs that are set to "Popup Modal" will pause the game when activated.
You will need to set your GUI to "Normal" and turn it off in the game_start function.

oh, yeah, of course  

I have a reason for this.  I was inserting some code for a popup GUI, whic is what I want to have, but it diddnt work and I forgot to change it back.

silly me

There probably isnt anything like this for free out there, but...

Is there like some program that I can download that I can make tracks on for my game?
I dont know ablout the topic very much.

I only play one instrument and i dont think one guitar is enough for the whole soundtrack of my games.

Anyone ever played, "Treasure of Drunk Island"?

*shiver*

[bad]

I have another problem, but this one puts the others to dust.

I have no GUI on my intro, splash screen, and first room.  Everything works fine.
But as I enter the second room, everything is NOT fine.
When I enter the second room, i made it do that the GUI appears.  Normally that would be good, but in this case it is bad .
When my GUI appears, everything stops.  I can't click my mouse, so I can't walk, I can't do the keyboard, so I can't do Ctl Q to exit, so I am forced to do the abort key.

Somehow I think that this is directly linked to the GUI pooping on and off.

Needless to say, I think that it would be best if I were to get this problem solved.


Thanks,
Me

That helped quite a bit, thank you....

Would you be able to tell me how to add a small animation in the middle of the dialogue?

I might have an idea.

You could do this:

@1
EGO: Wait, I need to animate for a second...
stop
//run your anumation
RunDialog(x)  //x being your topic number
//etc...

I dont know if it will work, but you might as well try it.

It probably wont fit into your situation, because that would stop the dialog compleatly.

oh well

[UPDATE!:]

Hey hey everybody.  My first game is almost done.  It will be completed some time soon and hopefully submitted to the MAGS competition for this month.
Not that I have A chance of winning- Ive seen what I'm up against...

This game is about a fish who gets lost on a current and floats out to a place where all the fish are zombies.  It's going to be great!

Contains:
4 dialogs
9 characters
7 rooms
Hundreds of lines of code!

Here are some of the characters:

Funny Speared Fish!!!

Yay!

UPDATE!:

Here is a screenshot.  I'll get more soon.

For those of you who think that this game is going to be graphically genious, think again.  The graphics arent too bad, they are kinda the quality of games like "The Journey Home"(Still a GREAT game!).  It will be a fully walkable, yet mostly 2D game.
Of course, what else can you do with a fish?
Keep in mind that this is my first game.

I know what it's trying to tell me, but I dont know what i'm supposed to do or where I'm supposed to put it.

ha ha, whoah

that was fast.  Robots are quick...

muchas gracias

Awww, man.  It still dosent work.
Apperantly my character is big enough so that he is on the region, and off the region at the same time, so the "EnableRegion" overrides the "DisableRegion"

I dont have money so I just play the freeware games made with AGAST, AGS, and SLUDGE.

Nothing against die hard AGS fans, but in my opinion, the best PNC adventure games ever are Out of Order and Afetrshocked.

And SLUDGE has the funniest name.
haha sorry if I offended anyone.

BUT WAIT!!!

I have done games on AGAST and done a demo of SLUDGE  and AGS is the best adventure creator EVER!

I hope you respect me now.

RTFM  


hahahahahahahahaha

sorry about that.
