Hi M0ds

it sure would be a good idea to have a 'pool' as I have previously stated.

This particular game is a type of 'Demo' to an otherwise bigger game.

If you (or anyone) wanted to be in on a bigger deluxe game than PM and perhaps we could build one.

cheers

No..  but is something that could be included in a bigger deluxe game.

I think he meant (and I'd be curious too) not "how many questions you are asked" but "how many total questions are in the question pool" like how many possible questions are there in the entire game?

I think this is a very interesting idea!  I used to love Cash Cab (before I canceled my cable tv).

Hi Darth

there are 3 modes, each with sets of 3 answers per question (1 of which is right).

The grand total is ssh as this would spoil it. But obviously enough to complete a successful ride to your destination and win lots of dosh.




By the way, in the UK its on Quest between 4.30am / 6.30am.

Hi Snake

The amount of questions you can have depends on how quick you can answer
questions. 

The quicker you can answer the more questions you can get, up until you reach your destination where the game ends.

AGS Questions... never thought of that..good idea...

At the moment I am working on the Background and have a few more questions to put in and a few other bits and pieces.

Hopefully, when I finish, it will encourage a much bigger game by someone..

Thanks

Once he bites you, he goes off screen and you cannot use the whistle on him. Is there some way to get him back onto the screen?

On my screen the  bat goes back up screen after trying to bite you and you can still use whistle on him... it does not go OFF screen as such..

The bat tries to bite you if you go near the door. You need to retreat away and use the whistle on the bat.. You will then auto walk into the cage and the bat will then fly into the cage..

See amended above..

This is where AGS gamers are spit.

Should you use inventory on yourself or on an object/other char/Hotspot etc..

Try using INV on the bat

What do you mean, can't you select it in the dropdown menu below the project tree?
And how can you move a label without selecting it first?

No Khris, I mean you can't select it with the mouse on the Gui. I have another label on the Gui and thats ok. Also it is not Locked.

I have to select it from its gui dropdown and manually type co-ords in.

Maybe a bug?

cheers

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..

Apparently Spock does have greenish skin due to contents in his blood.

I've got endless questions, its just sorting out which to include.

If you're a trivia sort of person you'll do well 

Open source would be an idea if going for a big game..

cheers Ghost

Is your player right at the top of the screen?

when it comes to standing on a walkable area I believe the hotspot for a character is at his feet so his head may well be cut off if it is outside the top edge.

Perhaps lower the walkable area.

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?}

Below pictures subject to change





New Screenshot:



320 x 240
16 bit colour
Game: 99%

Good tester wanted (please PM)

This is probably a matter of straining the pathfinding. If the road and thus the wa is curving all over the place, and with a room size like this, I'm not too surprised that the game appears to hang.
Does it work eventually?

EDIT: Made image smaller and using:

Code: ags

  ccab.Walk(638, 918, eNoBlock, eWalkableAreas);
  ccab.Walk(642, 664, eNoBlock, eWalkableAreas);
  ccab.Walk(644, 388, eNoBlock, eWalkableAreas);

Seems to work so far..


To solve this you could use AddWaypoint. Split up the way into smaller parts and it should work again.

Unfortunately the AddWaypoint does not support eWalkable areas.

The car gets to its destination eNoBlock with keys/mouse disabled with stuff running in the background like distance and time and the user has to answer questions via GUI buttons/labels.

Thanks Khris, but not solved yet

PS have straightened the roads.

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

Use eNoBlock for your non-player animation to run in the background then it won't stop anything else happening.

If you use eBlock then it will hold everything until it's finished and if you use eRepeat as well as eBlock then it will go on forever and nothing else will happen!

AOK now

thanks

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

It's not a hard case of want to, it's just that it seems a a bit awkward at times.

Still, as I have said, it's a good idea.

cheers Khris

Hi

just loaded 3.2.1 (NET Build 3.2.1.111) on new computer... I notice + - in rooms scripts, good idea but how can you disable them from appearing?
