Hi, does anyone know why my Background 1 (not the main background) is glitching? I have two backgrounds, the first one, and after the character walks through one time, it's supposed to show Background 1. Instead, it glitches and shows this. It worked for one of the rooms, but not for two others. The code is the same. I tried renaming and reuploading the background but it's still glitching. Also, it doesn't glitch when first loaded in, only after I've Run the game.

Hi, I am trying to create Wordle in my game. I've finished most of it thanks to this [link] https://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/beginners-technical-questions/wordle-in-ags/msg636645648/#msg636645648 [/link] However, if you do not guess the word by the last row, I'd like the game to reset.

Code: ags

// main global script file
#define WORD_LENGTH 5
#define MAX_GUESSES 6
 
// This represents a row in the Wordle grid (one guess)
struct WordleGuess
{
   Button* LetterField[WORD_LENGTH];

          currentInputLetter=0;
          
      
          if(currentGuess >= MAX_GUESSES)
          {
      // THIS IS WHERE I NEED IT TO RESET, I can reset currentGuess to 0 here, but also need to reformat

          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

I know this is easy, and I've done it before, but I can't seem to find information on the manuals or forum.

I am trying to animate a character in room_AfterFadeIn(). This should work, but it doesn't.

Code: ags

function room_AfterFadeIn(){
    cObies.Animate(0, 5, eRepeat, eNoBlock);
}

I have a Wordle game in my game. When the player guesses the Wordle correctly, the letters turn green and the GUI panel closes. This happens basically simultaneously, so the user cannot see the letters turn green.

Is there a way to implement a pause or wait?

I tried using Pause and UnPause, Wait, creating an invisible animation, SetTimer/isTimerExpired and even writing my own for loop counter, but all of these did not work. The buttons or the whole screen has a filter of gray on them for the pause or wait functions. The for loop and timers just didn't do anything.

I think the timer will work, but it is only checking once if the timer is expired instead of repeatedly.

SOLUTION: I set the timer in the function, and then in repeatedlyexecute, I was checking if it was completed. 

I would like to make the activeInventory = null when the player clicks on an empty space in the inventory GUI and have the activeInventory switch with what inventory they click on.

I assume in this function, I would have to find if the player activeInventory != null, then check where the cursor is. If in an empty space, activeInventory = null. If the cursor is on an item, then activeInventory = item, and the item gets added to inventory. Something like this:

Code: ags

function gIconbar_onClick(GUI *theGui, MouseButton button){
    if(player.ActiveInventory != null{
         if(InventoryItem.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x,mouse.y) = null {
          inventory.AddActiveInventory
          player.ActiveInventory = null;
       } else {
       player.ActiveInventory = InventoryItem.GetAtScreenXY(mouse.x, mouse.y);
     }
   }
}

There's also this that is helpful, but I'm having a little of trouble interpreting it.

Hi, I have added a custom GUI to recreate Wordle within my game.


https://imgur.com/a/G4DhgR4


How do I make these buttons transparent/ white with no drop shadow?
I assume it has to do with the button classes, because that is where I changed the textColor, but I'm not sure where to find this documentation.

Thank you <3

[SOLVED]: I just uploaded a custom image for each button of a transparent png!
