For scrolling rooms to work you need to add the camera offset (i.e. convert the mouse's screen coordinates to room coordinates).

Code: ags

  player.Walk(mouse.x + Game.Camera.X, mouse.y + Game.Camera.Y);

Beginners' Technical Questions / Help with cursor&moving with r...

Last post by updoggg - Today at 01:13:41

hey, so i wanted to make it so you have one all purpose cursor where you interact with left click and then move on right click
this is the code -->

Code: ags

function on_mouse_click(MouseButton button) {
  
  if (IsGamePaused() == 1) {
    return;
  }

  if (button == eMouseRight) { 
    player.Walk(mouse.x, mouse.y);
  } else if (button == eMouseLeft) { 
    Room.ProcessClick(mouse.x, mouse.y, mouse.Mode);
  }
}

it works, but the issue is that in certain rooms it just doesn't, and the player can't go past a certain point for seemingly no reason? i know its an issue with the right clicking part because it works when i use arrow keys. help appreciated :o)

Beginners' Technical Questions / Re: Resolution limitations? Ca...

Last post by Rik_Vargard - Yesterday at 20:43:22

From my experience with many AGS games, any resolution proposed by AGS in the General Settings works great, whatever your screen resolution is.
You'll also notice that the options give a screen resolution ratio.
If you have a 1920*1080 screen (like most of people have), you'll want to go with anything that's 16:9, but if your game is, let's say, 640*480 (thus 4:3 ratio), it will still look great on 1920*1080, just with black boxing on left and right.
Even if you go for 320*180 (16:9), it will still look great on a 1920*1080 screen.

AGS does a really great job to have those low res games look perfect on a high res screen.

That's why the first part of my game was at 1920*1080, and the second part is 1280*720. Because it looks just as great for half the Mb pricel
Which also means you don't need to go 2k

OGG GAME MUSIC MEGA PACK - OVER 1400 TRACKS (AND GROWING)
https://soundimage.gumroad.com/l/ylyre

My Mega Pack contains over 1400 music tracks (and growing!) in higher-quality Ogg format. Great for video games, films, podcasts and more. This is a bundle of my genre music packs:

Fantasy | Sci-Fi | Funny/Quirky/Weird | Puzzle | Chiptunes | Action | Dark / Ominous | Horror / Surreal | Misc

These tracks sound almost as good as my original WAV recordings, but are much smaller in file size. Perfect for video games. Ogg tracks also loop better in game engines than Mp3 format.

THE PACK THAT GROWS WITH YOU

I add new music all the time and send users updates so you can download my newest tracks as I release them.

As always, enjoy, stay safe and keep being creative!

I also solved a puzzle in a totally unexpected way. (The old lady in the queue.)

Spoiler

My son called for me and I left the game to make him a sandwich, and when I came back, it was suddenly my turn in line.

In a way, I'd say you solved the puzzle precisely as intended, and hopefully got yourself a snack while you were at it!

Nice atmospheric game. I played it in one binge session of probably less than an hour. I enjoyed it very much. The action sequences didn't involve much more than just click spamming whenever anything evil came on my path. But since I'm not a fan of action sequences in pount and click adventures, I was glad that these were easy. Nice Lovecraftian short-story vibes there.
