One thing I have noticed is with the status line,
in that for example. If you give a character an inventory item and this in turn causes the player to change room, in the new room it will briefly show that you have given an inventory item to a character.

So what I then did was to give the status label a script name "lblStatus" and then add to the on event function the following:

Code: ags


function on_event (int event, int data) {//////////////////////////////////////On Event/////////////////////On Event
Ã,Â  if (event == eEventEnterRoomBeforeFadein) player.PlaceOnWalkableArea();

Ã,Â  else if (event == eEventLeaveRoom) { // Reset Label to "walk to".
Ã,Â  Ã,Â  SetDefaultMode(WALK);
Ã,Â  Ã,Â  lblStatus.Text = ("Walk to");
Ã,Â  }

}

which seems to have solved the problem.

I've updated the zip with your change, Lazarus. Thanks again.

I'm sorry if this has been answered, but I'm pretty new in terms of scripting in AGS (my best works include calling/hiding GUIs and moving objects). Can anyone give me a fast method on how to implement only the status bar from Lucas Arts GUIs? The MI2 template includes all of the buttons and such, and I can't understand one bit of the scripting. I've made fair progress on my project and don't wish to start over using the MI2 template as a, well, template!

Answers would be appreciated...

Could someone make a 2.72 version of the Day of the Tentacle template, please?

cjhrules · Thu 14/09/2006 21:04:40

I have some problems with the "GIVE" command. When I use it nothing happen not even the "default" message "I'd rather keepit ." displays. What can be the problem.
It's used on chracters of course so that's no the problem.

EDIT: Ok, I solved it. I had to put the command in the "Any click" section.

Hey, new member here, currently working on a new game, some of it is built already and ive recently found out about these gui templates. so i tried one of the MI2 ones out. encountering a few problems, the first one was the 'gInventory' , i think its sorted now, i checked out some previous posts, the next one is the SetMode problem..

#sectionstart interface_click // DO NOT EDIT OR REMOVE THIS LINE
function interface_click(int interface, int button) {

String buffer;
if (interface == MAINGUI) {

// Setting cursor modes:
//-----------------------------------------------------
if (button == 0) SetMode(GIVE); ( <-- line 76)
if (button == 1) SetMode(PICKUP);
if (button == 2) SetMode(USE);
if (button == 3) SetMode(OPEN);
if (button == 4) SetMode(LOOK);
if (button == 5) SetMode(PUSH);
if (button == 6) SetMode(CLOSE);
if (button == 7) SetMode(TALK);
if (button == 8 ) SetMode(PULL);
//-----------------------------------------------------
______________________________________________________________

..It says "There was an error compliling your script. The problem was: In:'Global script'

Error(line 76): Undefined token 'SetMode'

Do you want to fix the script now?9Your game has not been saved."
_______________________________________________
ive been reading over loads of previous posts and i cant seem to work out what it is, if anyone coudl shed some light on this then it'd be most appreciated!Thanks!

Ashen · Sun 17/09/2006 12:51:37

undefined token errors mean the thing you're trying to use (in this case the function SetMode) doesn't exist.
Are you using the template as-is, or have you copied some code over to another game? Since that's only line 76, I'd guess you're missing a whole lot of the template code before that point. NOTE: functions and variables have to have been created before - i.e. earlier in the script than - they're used, so if the declaration for SetMode is there, but starts at line 90, you'd still get that error.

god · Sun 17/09/2006 13:10:04

yeah i copied exported the code, then imported it into my own one, do you know at all what i am missing from my script then? would it be difficult to fix?

By default, there's no SetMode function in AGS, nor does AGS know what GIVE means.
Exporting and importing a short bit of code from the template won't work at all, I'm afraid. You'd have to sort out exactly which portions are needed and copy over all of them.

Why don't you just use the complete template and alter it to fit your needs?

Lazarus · Wed 15/11/2006 12:18:50

Hi I'm having a go with updating the DOTT template to use with ags 2.72, I'm wanting to use the enforce object based scripting and enforce new style strings and was wondering how you upate the following code.

Code: ags


function SetPlayer(int charid){
Ã,Â  //use this instead of SetPlayerCharacter function for switching to other players
Ã,Â  int counter=1;
Ã,Â  while (counter<MAX_PLAYERS){
Ã,Â  Ã,Â  if (charid==Tposition[counter].charac){
Ã,Â  Ã,Â  Ã,Â  SetButtonPic(MAINGUI,Tposition[counter].smallpicbutton,1,Tplayer[GetPlayerCharacter()].smallpic);
Ã,Â  Ã,Â  Ã,Â  Tposition[counter].charac=GetPlayerCharacter();
Ã,Â  Ã,Â  }
Ã,Â  Ã,Â  SetButtonPic(MAINGUI,Tposition[counter].smallpicbevelbutton,1,Tplayer[charid].smallpicbevel);
Ã,Â  Ã,Â  counter++;
Ã,Â  }
Ã,Â  Tposition[0].charac=charid;
Ã,Â  counter=0;Ã,Â  Ã,Â 
Ã,Â  while (counter<MAX_MODES){
Ã,Â  Ã,Â  if (Tmode[counter].button[charid]>=0) SetButtonPic(MAINGUI,Tmode[counter].button[charid],2,Tmode[counter].highlightedbutton[charid]);
Ã,Â  Ã,Â  counter++;
Ã,Â  }
Ã,Â  SetLabelColor(ACTION,0,Tplayer[charid].actionlabelcolor);

Ã,Â  Tplayer[GetPlayerCharacter()].topinvitem=game.top_inv_item;
Ã,Â  if (Tplayer[charid].topinvitem>=0) game.top_inv_item=Tplayer[charid].topinvitem;

Ã,Â  SetCharacterClickable(GetPlayerCharacter(),1);
Ã,Â  SetCharacterClickable(charid,0);
Ã,Â  StopMoving(GetPlayerCharacter());
Ã,Â  SetPlayerCharacter(charid);
Ã,Â  SetMode(DEFAULT);

}

I get an error with the "SetButtonPic" undefined token.
Any help would be grateful

Ashen · Wed 15/11/2006 12:46:45

The error (as you can probably guess) means you're trying to use an old-style command (SetButtonPic) which is now obsolete. (Leaving 'Enforce object-based scripting' unchecked tells AGS it can still use the obsolete functions, but you're right that it's better to phase them out.)

You can use the manual to help you with this type of error - select the old command in the 'Index' tab, and you should be taken to the OO equivilant. In this case, there are three properties that replace it: Button.NormalGraphic, Button.MouseOverGraphic and Button.PushedGraphic, depending on the which parameter (the 3rd one) used in the SetButtonPic commands.
1 = NormalGraphic, 2 = MouseOver, 3 = Pushed.

Code: ags


SetButtonPic(MAINGUI,Tposition[counter].smallpicbutton,1,Tplayer[GetPlayerCharacter()].smallpic);

which = 1, so that would be:

Code: ags


gMaingui.Controls[Tposition[counter].smallpicbutton].AsButton.NormalGraphic = Tplayer[player.ID].smallpic; // 'GetPlayerCharacter()' is also obsolete

You might be better changing the Tposition[counter].smallpicbutton variable to a Button pointer, allowing the slightly shorter:

Code: ags


Tposition[counter].smallpicbutton.NormalGraphic = Tplayer[player.ID].smallpic;

Lazarus · Thu 16/11/2006 09:43:48

I tried your shortened version of

Code: ags


Tposition[counter].smallpicbutton.NormalGraphic = Tplayer[player.ID].smallpic;

and this gave an error stating NormalGraphic is not a member of "int". So I used your second version which seems to work.

My next problem is with this code

Code: ags


if (Tmode[counter].button[charid]>=0) SetButtonPic(MAINGUI,Tmode[counter].button[charid],2,Tmode[counter].highlightedbutton[charid]);

I've tried this code below, but I get a Parse error in expr near "Tmode"

Code: ags


if (Tmode[counter].button[charid]>=0) gMaingui.Controls[Tmode[counter].button[charid]].AsButton.MouseOverGraphic = Tmode[counter].highlightedbutton[charid]);

I know I'm missing something but I cannot see it

*Edit*
Also would I be right with changing

Code: ags


Ã,Â  SetLabelColor(ACTION,0,Tplayer[charid].actionlabelcolor);

Ã,Â  Tplayer[GetPlayerCharacter()].topinvitem=game.top_inv_item;
Ã,Â  if (Tplayer[charid].topinvitem>=0) game.top_inv_item=Tplayer[charid].topinvitem;

Ã,Â  SetCharacterClickable(GetPlayerCharacter(),1);
Ã,Â  SetCharacterClickable(charid,0);
Ã,Â  StopMoving(charid);
Ã,Â  SetPlayerCharacter(charid);

To this

Code: ags


Ã,Â  labelStatus.TextColor = Tplayer[charid].actionlabelcolor;

Ã,Â  Tplayer[charid].topinvitem=MainInventory.TopItem;// MainInventory script name.
Ã,Â  if (Tplayer[charid].topinvitem>=0) MainInventory.TopItem=Tplayer[charid].topinvitem;

Ã,Â  character[player.ID].Clickable = 1;// Yes
Ã,Â  character[charid].Clickable = 0;Ã,Â  Ã,Â // No
Ã,Â  player.StopMoving();
Ã,Â  character[charid].SetAsPlayer();
Ã,Â  SetMode(DEFAULT);

Did you also change smallpicbutton variable (in the struct the Tposition refers to) into a Button pointer? If so, it makes no sense that the 'short' version doesn't work, and the 'long' version does. If not - there's your problem. There's no real need to do it that way, it'll just save a little bit of typing, and make the code look a little more OO-like.

It looks like you've got a stray ) at the end of the line - Tmode[counter].highlightedbutton[charid]);.

Looks good, but:

Code: ags


  Tplayer[charid].topinvitem=MainInventory.TopItem;// MainInventory script name.

The original line uses GetPlayerCharacter, so shouldn't that be:

Code: ags


  Tplayer[player.ID].topinvitem=MainInventory.TopItem;// MainInventory script name.

And:

Code: ags


  character[player.ID].Clickable = 1;// Yes

Would work fine, but why not just:

Code: ags


  player.Clickable = 1;// Yes

Lazarus · Fri 17/11/2006 09:10:04

Great that fixed that problem.
Now my next problem seems to be with the new "Strings" commands.
I have this code and it's saying "undefined token GetInvName"
here's the function in question

Code: ags


function GiveInv(int invitem, int charid){
Ã,Â  String invname;
Ã,Â  GetInvName(invitem,invname);

Ã,Â  character[charid].inv[invitem]=character[GetPlayerCharacter()].inv[invitem];
Ã,Â  character[GetPlayerCharacter()].inv[invitem]=0;
Ã,Â  UpdateInventory();
Ã,Â  character[GetPlayerCharacter()].activeinv=invitem;

Ã,Â  GSloctype=0;
Ã,Â  RunCharacterInteraction(charid, MODE_USEINV);
}

Also would I be right with using this code?

Code: ags


Ã,Â  character[charid].inv[invitem]=player.ID.inv[invitem];
Ã,Â  player.ID.inv[invitem]=0;
Ã,Â  UpdateInventory();
Ã,Â  player.ID.activeinv=invitem;

SSH · Fri 17/11/2006 09:15:09

Err, the invname is not actually being used at all so that code is redundant anyway.

and character[GetPlayerCharacter()] can just be replaced by player

Lazarus · Fri 17/11/2006 09:32:55

How do you mean? just leave out "invname" or the whole function?
If it's just the "invname" do you mean so that all that is left would be something like

Code: ags


 function GiveInv(int invitem, int charid){
Ã,Â  character[charid].inv[invitem]=player.ID.inv[invitem];
Ã,Â  player.ID.inv[invitem]=0;
Ã,Â  UpdateInventory();
Ã,Â  player.ID.activeinv=invitem;

Ã,Â  GSloctype=0;
Ã,Â  RunCharacterInteraction(charid, MODE_USEINV);
}

*Edit*
As this is also linked to this function

Code: ags


function GiveInvChronOJohn(int invitem, int charid){
Ã,Â  String invname;
Ã,Â  GetInvName(invitem, invname);
Ã,Â  if (ExtensionEx(3,invname)!='d') {
Ã,Â  Ã,Â  GSmode=GIVECHRON;
Ã,Â  Ã,Â  GSusedmode=GIVECHRON;
Ã,Â  Ã,Â  SetGraphicalVariable("Used Mode", GIVECHRON);
Ã,Â  Ã,Â  GiveInv(invitem, charid);
Ã,Â  Ã,Â  SetMode(DEFAULT);
Ã,Â  }
Ã,Â  else {
Ã,Â  //you could put here different messages or actions for different items when the player
Ã,Â  //tries to give them via the chron-o-john (i.e. the little icons in the GUI)
Ã,Â  //and it doesnt do the default behaviour (giving the item), because the second extension of 
Ã,Â  //that inventory item is 'd'.
Ã,Â  Ã,Â  if (invitem==2) Display("The hamster wouldn't survive to a Chron-O-John travel");//if tried to give the hamster
Ã,Â  Ã,Â  else Display ("I think i can't put that in the Chron-O-John"); //generic message
Ã,Â  }
}

which would be the next problem.

SSH · Fri 17/11/2006 10:06:41

ew, this code looks a real mess. I'd rewrite it from scratch...

Code: ags


 function GiveInv(InventoryItem *invitem, Character *charid){
  charid.InventoryQuantity[invitem.ID]=player.InventoryQuantity[invitem.ID];
  player.InventoryQuantity[invitem.ID]=0;
  UpdateInventory();
  player.ActiveInventory=null;

  GSloctype=0;
  charid.RunInteraction(eModeUseInv);
}

Lazarus · Mon 20/11/2006 09:34:26

How would I change this function as it is also linked with the "function GiveInv(InventoryItem *invitem, Character *charid){"

Code: ags


function GiveInvChronOJohn(int invitem, int charid){
Ã,Â  String invname;
Ã,Â  GetInvName(invitem, invname);
Ã,Â  if (ExtensionEx(3,invname)!='d') {
Ã,Â  Ã,Â  GSmode=GIVECHRON;
Ã,Â  Ã,Â  GSusedmode=GIVECHRON;
Ã,Â  Ã,Â  SetGraphicalVariable("Used Mode", GIVECHRON);
Ã,Â  Ã,Â  GiveInv(invitem, charid);
Ã,Â  Ã,Â  SetMode(DEFAULT);
Ã,Â  }
Ã,Â  else {
Ã,Â  //you could put here different messages or actions for different items when the player
Ã,Â  //tries to give them via the chron-o-john (i.e. the little icons in the GUI)
Ã,Â  //and it doesnt do the default behaviour (giving the item), because the second extension of 
Ã,Â  //that inventory item is 'd'.
Ã,Â  Ã,Â  if (invitem==2) Display("The hamster wouldn't survive to a Chron-O-John travel");//if tried to give the hamster
Ã,Â  Ã,Â  else Display ("I think i can't put that in the Chron-O-John"); //generic message
Ã,Â  }
}
