I wrote a custom function intended to add an Inventory item to the player while also notifying that the item has been added.

Code: ags

function Notify(InventoryItem*item){ //not the best function name but I'll change that later
  AddedInv.Text = item.Name;
  player.AddInventory(item);
  gNotification.Transparency = 100;
  gNotification.Visible = true;
  while (gNotification.Transparency >= 10){
    gNotification.Transparency -= 10;
    Wait(1);
  }
  gNotification.Transparency = 0;
  WaitMouseKey(1000);
  while (gNotification.Transparency <= 90){
    gNotification.Transparency += 10;
    Wait(1);
  }
  gNotification.Visible = false;
}

In the header of GlobalScript I imported the function like this:

Code: ags

import function Notify(InventoryItem);

However, when I run the game I get this error:
Parameter type does not match prototype

Now I am new to using pointers and I don't have a lot of experience writing my own functions. I'm guessing I imported the function wrong or I used pointers incorrectly.

Sorry for the late reply, but apparently AGS was having problems reading the sprite. I'm not sure where the problem was exactly, but I reimported the sprite and it worked.

Thanks for your help

Sure thing I can't find a method to upload anything to the forums though, so I just put it on file dropper. I hope that's okay. Here's the link: http://www.filedropper.com/crashinfo3330

Hi, I'm new to AGS. I keep getting this bug when the player character changes room, the game crashes and the following message comes up:
