''I want to have multiple characters in my game that the player can play as. Is this possible? And if so, how would I go about doing such a thing?'' | |||
It is indeed possible and quite easily so. If you do not have a decent grasp on scripting in AGS, then please follow a few tutorials now, as this feature requires scripting. | |||
First off, in order to switch from one character to another, simply use the '''SetPlayerCharacter()''' ('''cEgo.SetAsPlayer()''' for AGS V2.7 or above) script command. Since AGS allows every character to have his or her (or its) own separate inventory, you will be able to access this new player character's inventory as you normally would with any other. | |||
If you want to detect which character is the player character (for certain character-specific interactions or reactions), simply use an "'''if'''" command block, like so: | |||
'''For AGS V2.62 and below:''' | |||
if (GetPlayerCharacter()==ROGER) { | |||
Display("Roger, you idiot, that's a couch!"); | |||
} else if (GetPlayerCharacter()==IDIOT) { | |||
Display("That's a...uh...buffalo. Yeah...! That's the ticket!"); | |||
} else { | |||
Display("That's a couch."); | |||
} | |||
'''For AGS V2.7 or above:''' | |||
if (player==cRoger) { | |||
Display("Roger, you idiot, that's a couch!"); | |||
} else if (player==cIdiot) { | |||
Display("That's a...uh...buffalo. Yeah...! That's the ticket!"); | |||
} else { | |||
Display("That's a couch."); | |||
} | |||
Yessiree, that's all there is to it. Just search for one of the aforementioned script commands in the AGS manual and look at the related script commands it shows. | |||
