Need a little help..

Ron Hey,I got couple of problems which I cant solve and i hoped you could help me out..
My first problem is:
it doesnt metter where i place ego it cant get the gum(o5) even on the specific coordent of the object(see logic) which is funny becaose it worked fine untill i restarted my machine..
my second problem is:
if i take the wallet and then type get gum it does nothing even not printing any messege..
and i got couple of questions as well..
what is the command to stop the motion of an npc after it get to it destination ?
i managed to get him to the point, it stops moving but the animation continue (walking on the spot)

It should be stop.cycling(o0); and when you want him to move on after standing there for a couple of moments then just put start.cycling(o0);

That's all I can help you with at the moment. The other code is just too messy to understand. You've made it too difficult for yourself. But I think that's the tutorials mistake number #1, if you used a tutoarial that is.
bokkers Hi Ron,

first of all I would recommend moving the


animate.obj(o2);
load.view(2);
set.view(o2,2);
set.loop(o2,0);
set.cel(o2,0);
position(o2,101,116);
set.priority(o2,8);
stop.cycling(o2);
v255 = 2;

-stuff into the first block of the room, so that it looks like this:


if (new_room) {
load.pic(room_no);
draw.pic(room_no);
discard.pic(room_no);
set.horizon(37);

if ((prev_room_no == 1 || // just come from intro screen
prev_room_no == 0)) { // or just started game
position(ego,58,121);
status.line.on();
accept.input();
}

animate.obj(o2);
load.view(2);
set.view(o2,2);
set.loop(o2,0);
set.cel(o2,0);
position(o2,101,116);
set.priority(o2,8);
stop.cycling(o2);
v255 = 2;

animate.obj(o5);
load.view(7);
set.view(o5,7);
set.loop(o5,0);
set.cel(o5,0);
position(o5,62,125);
set.priority(o5,8);
stop.cycling(o5);

draw(ego);
show.pic();
}

About the wallet and the gum:
The problem is that you've got two if-blocks contradicting each other.

Block1:


if ((said("get","wallet") ||
said("get","wallet"))) {

v255 = 2;
if (obj.in.room("wallet",v255)) {
if (posn(o0,88,124,92,130)) {
print("ok");
erase(o2);
get("wallet");
v3 += 1;
set(f255);
}
else {
print("you're not close enough");

}
}
}
would produce a message for the player if left alone. But block 2:


if (said("get","wallet")) {
if (has ("wallet")) {
print ("you alredy have it");
}
else {
reset(input_parsed);
}
}
checks the same situation (that the player has entered "get wallet" and tells the game to reset the input_parsed.
I suggest that you leave block 2 and add the "You already got it" to the end of block 1 so that it looks like this:

if ((said("get","wallet") ||
said("get","wallet"))) {

v255 = 2;
if (obj.in.room("wallet",v255)) {
if (posn(o0,88,124,92,130)) {
print("ok");
erase(o2);
get("wallet");
v3 += 1;
set(f255);
}
else {
print("you're not close enough");
}
}
else {
print ("you already took it, man. Don't you remember?");
}
}

Then it should work fine.

Greets,
b.o.k.
Ron Thanks but It didnt fixed it....
now when i try to get the gum after i take the wallet i get the wallet has messege (you alredy have it)...

besides that i cant take the gum... it doesnt metter whats ego's position... "you're not close enough"...
Ron ok hmm my mistake, i puted the wallet and the gum on the same group on the words.tok, silly me!
it all fixed but one problem...
it doesnt metter where i stand, even on the specifiec coords i cant get the "gum" it says im not close enough..
bokkers Post your script and I'll have a look at it. It's not completely wrong what you're doing, you just have some lines in there that create these unwanted results.

Greets,
b.o.k.
Ron HI, here is the fixed logic..
by the way, I was using the item tuturial..

BTW, i was using the item tuturial...
bokkers Hi,

try this version, it should work.
Greets,
b.o.k.
Ron Hi! I managed to fix it (with your help of course!) i just had to do 1+1....
thanks alot !
but if can you just help me with the npc...
the stop.cycling(oX) stop the animation of all objects inclouding ego...
can you post the full code ? maybe im forgeting something..
i want to move an object like npc (with animation) from point x to y and when the object reach point y it stops its animation..
thanks...
Ron Hi,
I need help with the ego's positions..
I can only mark a position on the same Y. example:

if (posn(o0,48,128,58,128)) {
set.cel(o10,1); } <- works

if (posn(o0,48,128,58,125)) {
set.cel(o10,1); } <- doesnt work :<

Please help me. Thanks, Ron.
Eigen Replace the 128 and 125. It should be:

if(posn(o0, left edge x, top line y, right edge x, bottom line y)

Ron thanks alot man!
