Thanx, that helped a lot.
Almost everything works fine now, expet for the fact that the character and object(0) are not hidden when the fadein is finished again.
i see obejct 1 and player, then a fade out, then a fadin and again object 0 and player and only after that object(0) and player disappear and object (1) is shown.

Why is this? How can I block the events and only after that dothe fadein again?

regards,

martijn

Aaaah, how stupid.
yet still the whole scene is over in a wink.
What am I missing?

I go to new room and have the following code.
everything happens in a blink though?
How can I slow it down and get a view of my character walking towards the spaceship, fade out and see the ship gently fly away...?

Code:
// room script file

#sectionstart room_a  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE
function room_a() {
  // script for Room: Player enters screen (before fadein)
ObjectOn(0);
player.x = 163;
player.y = 135;
}
#sectionend room_a  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE

#sectionstart room_b  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE
function room_b() {
  // script for Room: Player enters screen (after fadein)
character[EGO].SetWalkSpeed(1, 1);
character[EGO].Walk(163, 135, eBlock);

FadeOut(70);
ObjectOff(0);
ObjectOn(1);
player.x = 500;
player.y = 500;
FadeIn(100);
object[1].Move(239,37, 1, eBlock);

FadeOut(10);
NewRoom(16);
}
#sectionend room_b  // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE

ok, i'llt ry that.

does it make sense then that this code did work well in AGS256??

regards, Martijn

I worked with a little trick keeping track of inventory items in my inv box.
now I upgraded to ags27 and the following erro occurs after I pick up my second inv item in the game.

I get the error (which I never got in AGS256):

               }
               hadgot_inv = character[EGO].activeinv;
         }
}

any suggestions??

Are you aware of the option to set a baseline for objects? this way you can define which object is the front one, when two  objects overlap?

Wow, that is what I call a fast reply :-)

I am using ttf fonts, and the problem indeed started after adding a new fort.
I have removed all fonts and reimported them. That did not work.

What should I do about it??

The game is rather large. I could upload it though; what parts would you be interested in? ac2game.ags is about 22 mb.

It is back!!Ã,  .
After looking at an object, I get the following error:

NB!! The grey bar at the bottom of the editor screen warns:
"A serious error occurred in the game engine"

Some further testing shows that for each action I take using the left-mouse button, an error is generated associated witht the the according action. E.g. selecting Quit Game from the gui renders an error for the line QuitGame(1); in the global script.

Suggestions?

Sorry, my problem ceesed existing :-)
I do not knweo what I changed, maybe a double newroom command or an inconsistend GI setting? I am not sure. never found a real programming error, but after polishing the room-room transfers the probblem stopped existing.

thanks for thinking along,

Can you post that part of script around that "newroom(10)"?

I doubt if it is the scriopt calling the newroom, since it works ok with other rooms.
Anyway, the function that calls for room(10) is:


function rescue(){

  if ( ( (position.x < 310) && (position.x > 279) && (position.y < 73) && (position.y > 51) ) && (GetGlobalInt(49) == 0)){
     SetGlobalInt(49,1);
     MoveObjectDirect(0,277,55,1);

     SetObjectFrame(0,27,0,9);
     MoveObjectDirect(0,292,60,1);

     DisplaySpeech(EGO, "Yes, I did it!!!!!");
     DisplaySpeech(EGO, "Nu rennen naar de shutlle, voordat ie er weer vandoor gaat!!");
     Wait(10);
     NewRoom(10);
  }
}

The script of room 10 is:


// room script file


function room_a() {
  // script for room: Player enters screen (before fadein)
if (GetGlobalInt(47) ==1) {
          ObjectOff(0);
     ObjectOn(1);
   }   
}

function room_b() {
  // script for room: Player enters screen (after fadein)
if (GetGlobalInt(47)==1) {   

   SetCharacterViewEx(EGO,5,3,ALIGN_LEFT); //volta kijkt schip na...
   MoveObject(1,265,77,1);
   DisplaySpeech(EGO,"Shoot, de noodcapsule is weggeslagen!");
   DisplaySpeech(EGO,"ik moet zo snel mogelijk naar de controle kamer om 'm terug te halen,");
   DisplaySpeech(EGO,"voordat hij buiten bereik van de transmitter is!!!!"); 

   ReleaseCharacterView(EGO); //volta kan weer bewegen
}
if (GetGlobalInt(49) == 1){
  DisplaySpeech(EGO, "Mooi, de capsule staat er weer");
  DisplaySpeech(EGO, "Snel naar binnen en weg voordat het hier uit de hand loopt.");
  MoveCharacterDirect(EGO, 100, 120);
}
}

function room_c() {
  // script for room: Repeatedly execute

}

it is...

After hours of looking I need to ask what this error means:

Code: ags

---------------------------
Illegal exception

It occurs when the script should executeÃ,  "NewRoom(10);"
I have an object being moved around by a script. When it 'hits' certain coordinates a new room must be entered.
I want to go to room 10. Other rooms are no problem, but room 10 is ...

Thanks, problem is solved!
Your help is greatly appreciated :-)

after modifying the blue-line code lines, we recompiled using VC++ Version7.
It results in an errormessage:

Code: ags

De toepassing of DLL-bestand D:\koops\gameeditor\AGS editor 256_1\AGS_Solver.dll is geen geldige Windows-kopie. Controleer dit op uw installatiediskette.

I have this freely translated as:

Code: ags

the application or dll-file D:\koops\gameeditor\AGS editor 256_1\AGS_Solver.dll is not a valid Windows-copy.Check this on your installationdiskette

Can it be that version 7 of VC++ is not supported??

OK, this moves along a line.
is it also possible to slow down the movement along a walkable area? Do something with MoveObject(), and slow it down that way, by inserting Waits in clever points??

regards, Martijn

I do not succeed in making an object move slower than speed 1 in MoveObject function.
Trying to work around it with Wait in RepeatedlyExecute does not work either.

Is it possible anyway? A quick search through the fora only results in accopanying questions, but no answers.
Any ideas??

Regards, Martijn

P.S. first version of playable version in palent 1 is coming up soon :-)

that's it, it is in the linear equations plugin.
How can I remove it? i did not write the plugin myself...

I only use one gui at the bottom of the screen. This line cannot be connected to the GUI

this is about a gray gui. i mean the blue line as it is visible in the picture  http://www.xs4all.nl/~koops/ags/screengrab.bmp

I have a blue line in my screen top: see http://www.xs4all.nl/~koops/ags/screengrab.bmp
Does anyone know howe t get rid of it?
i think it has something to do with a gui, but which one?
