Version 3.2.1 (NET Build 3.2.1.111)..

Sometimes a Label will not select... you can only move it in the pane.

I have noticed this has happened a couple of times..

Hi

Thought I would do a quiz game.

Based on the TV game show Cash Cab.

It's entiltled 'Money Cab'.

Win lots of money by answering questions in the Money Cab.

You have the distance of your journey to answer questions.

Get a question wrong and you get a Strike, 3 Strikes and you get booted out and leave
with nothing!

If you get stuck you can do a Mob Shout. You can only do a Mob Shout once.

There are 3 Modes to choose from at the start.

Beware, not for the feint hearted!

Its not a long game and maybe it could be picked up and turned into a full length quiz
game sometime (Mittens?}

Hi

I have a bit of a walkable area problem.

Room size 320 x 240.

Background size 1501 x 1197.

There is a complete walkable area to destination, no breaks.

All edges are set correctly.

The background is of a road map and you drive along the roads.

If I set destination further than 998 x 833 then the player does not move from start and the game hangs.

I have used eBlock for testing.

It could be the road curves? I'll look into it.

Any other ideas as to why?

cheers

Hello

just loaded 3.2.1 (NET Build 3.2.1.111) on new computer.

I notice that in doing a Text Label @SCORE@ that £ symbol becomes ? symbol.

The $ seems fine enough but I want GBS.

All help appreciated.

cheers

Hi

I'm not sure if below is appropriate script but i need to have the user to use WALK mode only on hotspot for walkable area restored and the player to move to destination.

So far the player will not walk to destination.

Code: ags

function hHotspot2_Mode8()
{
 if (mouse.Mode == eModeWalkto)
 {
	  RestoreWalkableArea(3);
    csinbad1.Walk(106, 109, eBlock, eWalkableAreas);
 }
}

There may be other ways I can use but I would like to sort this out first.

all help appreciated

[EDIT]

I have a snag: Inv window does not auto scroll to top item and shows empty bottom row at somepoint in the game.

I do not use inv 1 or 2 and start with inv 3 from the beginning which stays til the end and I also use their ID's.

However, sometime in the game I end up with a blank row.

I have 3 Items per row.

I am using the below code in rooms where appropriate:

Code: ags

invCustomInv.TopItem = 3;

Any help/advice would be great.

EDIT

This appears to work:

Code: ags

 invCustomInv.ScrollUp();

cheers

Hi

For some strange reason if I click the Bgenie button (on gstastusline) a second time in the same room it starts with displaying the second Lgenie.Text first.

The gstastusline is visible if a condition is previously met and starts game as initailly off.

Code: ags

function Bgenie_OnClick(GUIControl *control, MouseButton button)

{  if (gStatusline.Visible==true  && player.Room==9) {
 
  gGeniepic.Visible=true;
  gGeniepic.Transparency=0;
  Buttong.Height=30;
  Buttong.Animate(12, 0, 1, eOnce);

  Wait(80);
  Buttong.Animate(17, 0, 4, eRepeat);
  Lgenie.Text="Sinbad. My powers have no effect on this part of the island. Kazima has cast some sort of dark spell.";
  Wait(200);
  Lgenie.Text="However, I can still help you. You need to make something to throw and kill the Cyclops. [That is all I can tell you Sinbad.";
  Wait(200);
 
  Buttong.Animate(18, 0, 0, eRepeat);
  gGeniepic.Transparency=60;
  Wait(40);
  gGeniepic.Transparency=80;
  Wait(40);
  gGeniepic.Transparency=100;
  Wait(10);
  gGeniepic.Visible=false;



}  else if (gStatusline.Visible==true && player.Room==11) {

 gGeniepic.Visible=true;
 gGeniepic.Transparency=0;
 Buttong.Height=30;
  Buttong.Animate(12, 0, 1, eOnce);

 Wait(80);
 Buttong.Animate(17, 0, 4, eRepeat);
  Lgenie.Text="Sinbad.Trap the harpys from ahigh. That is all I can tell you.";
 Wait(240);
  Buttong.Animate(18, 0, 0, eRepeat);
 gGeniepic.Transparency=60;

 gGeniepic.Transparency=80;
 Wait(40);
 gGeniepic.Transparency=100;
 Wait(10);
 gGeniepic.Visible=false;
	
	
// and other if else functions

Please tell me if you spot something that needs changing unless I do all Lgenie.Text on one line only?

All help appreciated.

Hi

I have come across a problem doing a scene.

I have an object that covers the screen to appear as smoke.

In the scene are various objects that can be interacted with.

Problem: is there a way to click beyond object which is top...ie Hotspots?

I am trying orders false/true.

If this is not possible is there a simple solution?

cheers

Hi

I am in the middle of a scene when I have come across a tech hitch.

The character has to jump on 3 flowers in correct order to get over a wall. I have set up a variable int for this and that works fine.

However, the character can still walk on the final  flower so I am trying to stop walk mode to that area where there is a region and a hotspot unless certain condition (int).

Hotspot for Interaction if int correct and Region for action after.

I have tried 'AnyClick' to have a say that he can't jump that high but he can still walk there.


Any ideas ?

cheers

[VERY BAD TASTE: Dels don't hide!]

Hi Gamers,

I would like to introduce:

VERY BAD TASTE: Dels don't hide!  

Stop an alien force from taking humans and adding them to an intergalatic restaurant menu!!

STORYLINE:
You are Del and you are out walking very early one morning when suddenly you see a house flying in the sky! (It's really an alien spaceship!).

The 'house' lands and you overhear a plot to collect all humans: for eating!

The alien boss Lord Grit owns an intergalactic restaurant chain that is the envy of the cosmos.

Lord Grit has found the taste sensation that is pulling in clients everywhere: Humans!

"There's no glowing fingers on these bastards! We've got a bunch of Extra-Terrestrial psychopaths on our hands, like a visit from a planet full of Charlie Mansons!!"

"I expect you're wondering what you're doing soaking in Ron's eleven secret herbs and spices? Later we're having *you* for lunch!"

Del is a have-a-go hero who likes the odd bit of skunk!

Can you thwart the aliens plan to harvest New York of humans and take over their spaceship?

***You are Del and Dels don't hide!***

Hi

I'm wondering if you can have SayBackground follow the charcater off the screen as it only goes to room edge?

[UPDATE: This works but if you know better:]

I have a variable: int switch_clicks; when the user clicks on an object with

appropriate inventory item the inv graphic shows on the mouse and it goes to

appropriate Display message.


What I am trying to do, but can't quite remember the script line, is to advance

the cursor graphic +1 (or new number) so that the mouse graphic changes and you

can click object again and graphic +1 (or new number).

After the 3rd click it displays a different text and ActiveInventory=null.

This is so I don't have to reopen inventory window again.

I have 3 graphics for 3 clicks.

Can someone please remind me?

cheers

UPDATE: This works but if you know better:

Code: ags

// SPIT PIPS
	
int switch_clicks;

function omixersw_UseInv()
{
	
 switch_clicks++;
   
          if (switch_clicks ==1 && cChris.ActiveInventory==ipip)
		 
	{
           Display("You spit a pip and it narrowly misses the switch!");
	   cChris.ActiveInventory=ipip;


			
	
}	 

    else if (switch_clicks ==2 && cChris.ActiveInventory==ipip)

	
	{
		
	Display("You spit a pip and it just misses the switch!");
	cChris.ActiveInventory=ipip;
			
}	 
			
	else if (switch_clicks ==3 && cChris.ActiveInventory==ipip)


	
	{

       Display("You spit a pip and it catches the switch and turns it off!");
       object[19].Visible=true;
       object[17].Visible=false;
       object[11].SetView(67);
       object[11].Animate(1, 3, eRepeat, eNoBlock, eForwards);
       cChris.SayAt(165,86,200,"Rock on Tommy!!");
       object[11].SetView(67);
       cChris.ActiveInventory=null;
       cChris.LoseInventory(ipip);

		
}	 

      else if (switch_clicks   >3)

Hi..  Problem with dialog options off

The below works but with a slight problem.

With 2 options left it does not 'return' but goes straight to option 4.

Chris: We need to pull together.
Chris: What do you have in your pockets Dopey?
Richy: Let me see...

Richy: A penknife
Chris: That could prove handy. Can I borrow it?
Richy: Sure
  cChris.AddInventory(iknife);
option-off 1 
return

@2
Richy: A shopping reciept.
Chris: Paper. Mm, could be useful to start a fire!
Richy: A fire??
Chris: One never knows
  cChris.AddInventory(ipaper);
option-off 2
return

@3
  if (player.HasInventory(iskunk))
  {
Richy: I've got some skunk.
Chris: I have some skunk already.
option-off 3

  }
  else
Chris: Can I have some?
Richy: What for? I've only an ounce left!
Chris: I have an idea.
Richy: Ok but you owe me Del.
Chris: Cheers mate
Richy: Yeh

Chris: Thanks
Richy: Ok
