Hi

is there a way-round positioning a 'dialog textgui' as it seems to be hard coded?

I can't see anything in Global and I have even tried re positioning gText.X

cheers

Hi

How would you store a players x y room locations.

You can change rooms anytime in the game (unless that room completed):

If you go to room 5 from room 3 and then warp back to room 3 I would like the player to appear exactly where he left it. This would apply to all rooms visited.

Can't find the answer at the moment.

cheers

Hi

Hi

I'm not sure if you can stipulate a button's animated frames.

IE if frame 1 show this button else if frame 2 show this button.

All buttons are on an animated GUI.

Think along the lines of a radar picking up a signal at various locations of the radar.

Appear and then disappear depending on frame of gradar gui animation.

I'm trying this but it's not doing what i want:

Code: AGS

function Button12_OnClick(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button)
{
  gRadar.Visible=true;
  Button14.Animate(35, 0, 9, eRepeat);
  
  if(gRadar.Visible==true && Button14.Graphic==387)
  {
  Button16.Visible=false;
  Button15.Visible=true;
  
  }
  
  else if(gRadar.Visible==true && Button14.Graphic==383)
  {
  Button15.Visible=false;
  Button16.Visible=true;
  }
  }

Cheers

Hi

I'm looking at manual to find the best way of doing this:


EDIT: Surely must be:
Rep Exec

Code: AGS

if(Enemy1a <= 0 && Enemy1b <= 0)
{
bool=true;
}


--------------------------

Int A (Enemy1a) plus Int B (Enemy1b) (or vise versa) = Bool false/true sort of thing.

I want to replace Enemy1a >= 1 && Enemy1b >= 1 with a bool=false and change if both Ints are met (Both Int=0) by Rep Exec to true.

Code: AGS

{
if(cryan.ActiveInventory==igrenade && Enemy1a >= 1 && Enemy1b >= 1)
{
 cblondie.FaceLocation(292, 206);
 Grenades=(Grenades -1); 
 object[8].X =cblondie. x-0;
 object[8].Y = cblondie.y- 0;
 cblondie.ChangeView(10);
 cblondie.Animate(0, 6, eOnce, eBlock);
 object[8].Visible=true;
 cblondie.ChangeView(7);

 //PLUS MORE AS RANDOM INTS 

Would someone please assist

cheers

Hi

Soldiers on a mission in Cambodia during the Vietnam war.

Rough outline:

The mission is to destroy a key bridge held by the Vietnamese communists and to release POW's.

Of course things are not as simple as that, as well as fighting the cunning Vietnamese enemy, becoming low on ammo and supplies you also come across a hidden sacred valley that is protected by regenerated dead soldiers!

After all that you still need to take the bridge!!

Use machine guns, grenades, bazookas and landmines etc to defeat the enemy!

Example USA Soldier (Subject to changes)



Draft Interface:



Typical type Backgrounds:

Watch out for enemy spies!


Discover information about each soldier (captain is looking at a map):

Hi

I'm looking to build a team for my next project.

A type of 'Small Soldiers' on a mission in Cambodia during the Vietnam war.

Rough outline:

The mission is to take a key bridge held by the Vietnamese to enable USA forces to penetrate deep into Vietnamese territory, defeat them, take the bridge and win the war.

Of course things are not as simple as that, as well as fighting the cunning Vietnamese enemy, becoming low on ammo and supplies you also come across a hidden sacred valley that is protected by dead soldiers!

After all that you still need to take the bridge!!

Use machine guns, grenades, anti tank bombs and landmines etc to defeat the enemy!

Example USA Soldier (Subject to changes)


Draft Interface:


Typical type Background:


Help with:

* Backgrounds - (jungle, huts, buildings etc) I can do rough scenes which you can work on and make great.
* Scene scenarios, problems and solutions. - I have a few ideas: Well with water but no bucket, enemy playing cards and there is a supplies crate you could do with as you are running very low, crossing a fast river, sliding down a high bank but there are enemy near by, finding a truck that needs fuel (maybe fuel depot nearby).
* Script helpers - if some advanced code is required
* Voice actors
* Some object creations etc

If you would like to contribute or can help in anyway please PM me and we can take it from there.

Thanks

Hi

Search is down or very slow from my end.

I am using SetRestartPoint so if player Replays from Credits it goes to room other than Splash.

The Restart point cannot be set while a script is running so I have it after Room Fades in but before cutscene starts. Although the Restart works it does not run cutscene.

Code: AGS

function room_AfterFadeIn()
{
  SetRestartPoint ();
  
  // CUTSCENE STARTS
 

Am I missing something?

cheers

Changing the mouse back to Hand Interact after using inventory does not seem to work with this code and returns to Lookat: (unless there is a conflict somewhere?)

Code: AGS

function on_event (EventType event, int data)
{

  if (event == eEventLoseInventory) 
  {
  mouse.Mode = eModeInteract;
  } 
  if (event == eEventGUIMouseDown && mouse.IsButtonDown(eMouseRight) && player.ActiveInventory != null && data == gInventory.ID) 
  {
  GUIControl *theControl = GUIControl.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y);
  if (theControl==invCustomInv) //the InvWindow
  {
  InventoryItem *i = InventoryItem.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y);
  if (i == null)
  { 
  player.ActiveInventory = null;  
  mouse.Mode=eModeInteract;
 }
 }
 }
 }

cheers if you could help

Hi

this type of thing has come up a few times but I am unable to find an exact reference / solution.

Although I don't think it's a big issue I need to ask.

---Disable right mouse click when over inventory window.---

Main reason is that it has been noted and reported that I have an extra description (more detail) of each inventory item as a DisplayAt at bottom of screen as well as @OVERHOTSPOT@ due to lack of space on the gstatusline.

Right clicking on inv item brings up the DisplayAt even though the mouse modes don't go to the next one.

Ideally, I would like to disable Right mouse click if  mouse x mouse y or another way so DisplayAt does not appear when right clicking inv item and only when LookAt is used.

Is there a suitable solution to this?

cheers

Hi

I have just noticed something that really needs putting right.

I have included a sound on/off button and a volume slider control. 

Both these work ok.

However, I now notice that if i adjust slider to say 20 and then turn sound off and then sound back on the slider stays the same but the volume is 100.

Naturally I would like the slider volume level to remain the same after sound off and then sound on.

Obviously the volume reflects in the code, so, something else is required.

Code: AGS

function Bspkon_OnClick(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button)
{
  if (Bspkon.NormalGraphic==1125)
  {
  
 Bspkon.NormalGraphic=1126;
 System.Volume = 0;
 Lsoundonoff.Text="Off";
 }
 else if (Bspkon.NormalGraphic==1126)
 {
  
 Bspkon.NormalGraphic=1125;
 System.Volume = 100;
 Lsoundonoff.Text="On";
 }
 }

Cheers for all assistance

EDIT: This seems to do the trick (at least i'm sure)

Code: AGS

function Bspkon_OnClick(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button)
{
 if (Bspkon.NormalGraphic==1125)
 {
  
 Bspkon.NormalGraphic=1126;
 System.Volume = 0;
 Lsoundonoff.Text="Off";
 }
 else if (Bspkon.NormalGraphic==1126)
 {
  
 Bspkon.NormalGraphic=1125;
 System.Volume = 100;
 Lsoundonoff.Text="On";
 System.Volume = sldAudio2.Value; // ADDED THIS BIT
 
 }
 }

Hi

The Shadow Avenger urgently needs a competent tester because of the complex nature of this game.

The aim is to kill gang members who slain your parents.

It is quite a tangled web, non linear, solution wise, which is why it needs another party to test.

I do believe there are no dead ends at the moment.

Meanwhile I have some tweaking to do like working more on background, text etc etc.

Please PM if you have time (ie not going away for a fortnight).

[EDIT: Using Game.MinimumTextDisplayTimeMs seems to do the trick.]

Hi

EDIT: Using Game.MinimumTextDisplayTimeMs seems to do the trick.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have just noticed that DisplayAt is not displaying text as Display does as it is not complying with Game.TextReadingSpeed which I have as 7.

I need to position text due to screen area.

Code: AGS

  DisplayAt(30, 100, 500,  "%s %s %s %s",
  "12 years have passed since that fateful day when your parents were killed. Over the years your mind has 
  been tortured by its darkside!",   
  "[[You have changed. From a mild mannered young boy to a disturbed, neurotic adolescent hell bent on 
  revenge!",
  "You enrolled in all the martial arts and made great acclaim in Kodokan Goshin Jutsu, Kapap, Bartitsu and 
  Karate. You have been preparing yourself to avenge your parents murders!",
  "[[You learn that the gang invloved in your parents death were part of the Polizti gang. They must pay! 
  They must suffer as you have!");

Can you offer a way round this?

Hi

I seem to have a technical hitch. With the below code if I click somewhere on the Inv Gui it brings up the dreaded continual Wait cursor if I have Save/load GUI open.

In Global function repeatedly_execute_always()

Code: ags

// IF GUI'S VISIBLE

    if (gPanel.Visible==true)
    {
    gInventory.Clickable=false;
    } 
    else if (gRestoreGame.Visible==true)
    {
    gInventory.Clickable=false;
    }  
    else if (gSaveGame.Visible==true)
    {
    gInventory.Clickable=false;
    }
    } 

Can you help resolve?

Hi

I am right at the end of a scene and my brain feels like it's scrambled!!

I have a problem that is bugging me and need a clearer brain to help me.

I have an object that moves from A to B via squares (the main player just shakes a tumbler and the dice rolls out.) The object moves in relation to the dice number that has been thrown.

If the object lands on a square with a goodie it takes it and a GiveScore added. This continues until the object  is at the end of the board.
At that point the object stops, the player says something and then a GUI opens.

Up to this point it all works until the GUI shows.

This GUI shows the players Score on a label along with another label that divides the Score by 5.

I used AGS @SCORE@ to keep track of the score and I made int cube.

I have put below code in Room:

Code: ags

function repeatedly_execute_always()
 { 
 if  (PPColliding.OWithO(object[7], object[11]))
 {
 gSCORES.Visible=true;
 Lscore.Text = String.Format("You have %d Sweet Power",SCORES);
 Lcubes.Text=String.Format("You have %d Cube Power",SCORES /5);
 }
}

Lscore shows but it displays 15 for the score and the lcubes label displays 3 (SCORE/ 5) it does not seem to give the real score. I then added GiveScore(300) on room load to boost the score and it shows in main @SCORE@ but not on GUI which still displays 15.

Hope you understand what I have put and can help me sort it out.

cheers
