[Solved] Go back to normal view on click "please stand up character"

[actaria]

Hello,

I am still working on my piano bar room and unfortunately i am stuck again.

I want the character to be able to sit on a chair and just listening to the pianist with a idle view
view 167= the character sitting on the chair

Code: ags

function ochair_Interact()
{
cChar1.Walk(1420, 820, eBlock);
cChar1.FaceDirection(eDirectionUp);
cChar1.LockView(167);
}

I had this code but i think the lockwiew was preventing the idle view to animate so i made a timer that triggers the idle view.

Code: ags

function ochair_Interact()
{
cChar1.Walk(1420, 820, eBlock);
cChar1.FaceDirection(eDirectionUp);
SetTimer(7,80 + Random(500));
cChar1.LockView(167);
}

Code: ags

function room_RepExec()
{
if (IsTimerExpired(7)) 
{
cChar1.Animate(0, 5, 0, eBlock, eForwards);
SetTimer(7,80 + Random(500));
}
}

It works well maybe there was an esier way to do this ?

Now i want that when the player click somewhere it makes the character stand up and go back to the normal view

I don't know how to do that i had a look at: "on mouse click" but i am not doing anything good i tried that:

Code: ags

on_mouse_click
{
cChar1.UnlockView();
cChar1.LockView(1)
}

It gives me an error and i don't really know where to put it

Thanks again for your precious help.

You need to put this in the room script:

Code: ags

function on_mouse_click(MouseButton button)
{
  if (button == eMouseLeft && cChar1.View == 167) // using the view's name is preferable
  {
    ClaimEvent(); // don't run global on_mouse_click after this
    cChar1.UnlockView();
  }
}

Note that AGS supports idle views, and more importantly: do not lock the view to view 1, unlocking it is enough to return to default behavior.
You lock the view to perform a specific animation, then unlock when the animation is done.

Hello,

I am so sorry it took me so long to answer.

I used your script and it's perfectly working so now i know how to do it (a click + a condition) and it's going to be really useful.

Thanks also for the explanation about unlocking views.

Once again thanks a lot for your precious help.
