How do I get my view(object) to erase when I pick it up, leave the next room then come back? I can get the item to dissappear when I am on the screen, but if I leave the room and come back, there sits the object!
[glow=red,2,300][color=Yellow]IT IS DRIVING ME NUTS!!!![/color][/glow]
if (!fN) {
if (obj.in.room("OBJECT_NAME", room_no)) {
draw(oN);
}This one I think would be better to use since you wouldn't have to waste a flag. :)
I have tried
[glow=red,2,300]THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS[/GLOW]of ways to get my object to animate on the screen.
it is called o2, and it is positioned at 100,100, which is in the water (ok, it is a fish). But every time I want my animated object to be on screen, it isn't there
this is in my defines list
#define fish o2
is that the problem?
I really think that the problem is that I dont know which codes to place in the block of commands.
Do I need any flags, vars, controls, or anything on these commands?

If this doesn't work tell me so that I can think of some other reason it might do that.
Wow, you really are good when it comes to AGI games, and programming!
BUT...
YIKES!!! I tried the first thing that I asked and it worked but then I turned on my computer and it wasn't working.
Where am I supposed to place the [shadow=red,left,300]if(obj.in.room(...[/shadow]
thing?
I am using the format from the template game.
I just dont get why it worked then, but then it didn't!!
Maybe I just wrote it wrong.
here is what I put...
if (obj.in.room("sword", room_no)) {
draw(o8);
}
is that right for my object?
Am I supposed to put this instead of the
draw(o8);
on my command block that I loaded my view into my room? My room number is 6 and I have this on
logic.006
and the command block for placing my object on the screen looks something like this
animate.obj(o8);
load.view(12):
set.view(o8,12);
set.cel(o8,0);
set.loop(o8,0);
set.pri(o8,6);
ignore.blocks(o8);
draw(o8);
do I put the
[glow=red,2,300][shadow=red,left,300]if (obj.in.room("sword", room_no)) {
draw(o8);
}[/shadow][/glow]
in there or do I put it in logic 0 or...
that is basically my question.
besides that, thanks!
SMG240
It should work to have the following in logic.006
if (obj.in.room("sword", room_no))
{
animate.obj(o8);
load.view(12):
set.view(o8,12);
set.cel(o8,0);
set.loop(o8,0);
set.pri(o8,6);
ignore.blocks(o8);
draw(o8);
}
As a side note, you should probably set the loop before you set the cel...that way you can be sure that the cel is actually a valid one.
For best use with obj.in.room command,
First: in object editor, you must set the object which room the player should find the object or it may not work.
put obj.in.room on the room where the object should
be appairs, not room 0.
put obj.in.room on the f5 section (or newroom section if you begin your game using template )
if (isset(f5)){
animate.obj(o8)
.....
if (obj.in.room("Name of your object",v0)){
draw(o8);
}
show.pic();
}
I hope I helped you.

for f5, does that mean that I place it in the initialization section of the page?
Is v0 the same here that is in my defines.txt from the template?
You're not stupid. You are a beginner.
v0 means the room where the ego is in.
The f5 flag is used to initialise the room.

If you look up "special variables" and "special flags" in the agi help file, it will tell you what these are. The list is almost complete.. at least one flag is missing and one variable hasn't properly been defined. (the length of the input line I believe)
The "defines.txt" file, which you usually include in each logic file, (like Joel suggests) also gives a symbolic name for each of these variables so you don't have to remember the actual number.

Hey, Robin,
I tried your reply and I think that either we had a slight communication error or else I just entered the code in wrong.
when I and my picture wouldn't load when it started.
I will try joel's in awhile and come back.
My original question(edited) was this
When I type in "get _____" the view is erased from the screen and my object is added to my inventory
[glow=red,2,300]( supposedly, I cant tell because my inventory is all screwed up! What is that all about? It looks like this:sodughpaiosuvpaw085u0)(*u(%_870Np(&^_#%(&!)[/glow]! But, if I leave the room and come back, my view will return, but my inventory item wont. So
my question is when I leave a room and come back, how do I get the view to not come back.
Sorry if this was what you wrote me to do, but it wouldnt work for me... ::) ...oh well...

Maybe it is me ??? Who knows ???.
what is your member picture thing of?
The first block of code in any logic is the initialization. That's why it's headed if (new_room) {...}. Any code to be executed when the character enters a room should be placed here. This is where your object_in_room? test should be placed.
Also, remember that AGI is a cantankerous old shrew of a proprietary scripting language designed for an abandoned platform (IBM PCjr). It is full of all kinds of strangeness. Therefore, know in your heart that you only ask questions any beginner would have.
Hope all that helps.
I also have this one
, it is called the eypon and it too is from the Gundam Wing series. I have these plus a whole bunch more for my avatars at my new message board here. and a few AGI characters and other various things like Mega Man doing a funny dance.Well anyway if you want to check out the gundam stuff it is at http://www.gundamofficial.com
that does help! 8)

OHHHHH! That is what I thought that It was but I couldnt tell! I kinda watched that when it was on (it is off air isn't is?) but I couldn't watch it much because I don't have cable! :-
I also have 2 of the dvd/movies as well: Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz and Gundam Saviour.
Gundam Saviour was really good, they used CG graphics on the gundam so instead of the anime look it has a more realistic look. Plus they used real actors with sets. :)
I also like to build the models of the gundam, I just built the High Grade version of the Heavy Arms custom. I also have some views of gundams drawn up and am planning on making a gundam game in SCI and maybe a AGI version as well. :)
if (new_room)
{
// other new_room code here
if (obj.in.room("sword", room_no))
{
// all the stuff in here
}
}
I don't think it's you that's the problem. But if what I suggested doesn't work then there's a good chance that there's something else you're doing in your code that we can't see that's causing the problem, because I used that code in my game and it works ok. Did you also make sure to execute a get("sword") command in the if (said("get", "sword")) section?
I only have draw() once and i put that on top of the command block and tried to test it.
When I got the sword, it erases, but if I leave the room, and come back, the original sword is there! Is there any comand like
if(has("sword")); {
erase(o8);
}
or anything like that , that I could enter in to the initialization?
SMG240
erase(o8);
}
Yes that would work, but why make extra code just don't draw it in the first place by using
if (!has("sword")) {
draw(08);
}
This way it will draw the sword if you don't have it and if you do have it then it will never be drawn in the first place. I would also add the load.view(n); and all that stuff in there so that the game won't load it unless it is supposed to be drawn:
if (!has("sword")) {
animate.obj(08);
load.view(20);
set.view(o8,20);
draw(o8);
}
This is how I would go about it.

[glow=red,2,300]IT WORKED!!!! THANK YOU!!! YIPEE!![/glow]
...
It worked Chris! Thanks a million!
SMG240
draw(sword);
if (obj.in.room("sword", room_no))
{
// whatever here
}
then that's why your code wasn't working before. The draw(sword) should only appear like this:
if (obj.in.room("sword", room_no))
{
draw(sword);
}
