I'm now having another really odd problem.

" Type mismatch: Cannot convert 'Object*' to 'int' "

I have a conditional set up "if checked door = 1, rundialog blah de blah"

if checked door = 0, run this script:

here it is in the room script.

function object0_b() {
// script for Object 0 (Bathroom Door): Interact object
character[EGO].Walk(161, 106, eBlock, eWalkableAreas);
RunDialog(;
object[oBdoor].SetView(0, 3);
object[oBdoor].Animate(0, 4, eOnce, eBlock, eForwards);
character[EGO].ChangeView(9);
object[oBdoor].Animate(1, 4, eOnce, eBlock, eForwards);
Wait(240);
object[oBdoor].Animate(0, 4, eOnce, eBlock, eForwards);
Wait(30);
object[oBdoor].Animate(1, 4, eOnce, eBlock, eForwards); < - - - - This is the line it is having a problem with.
character[EGO].ChangeView(1);
character[EGO].FaceLocation(180, 20, eBlock);
RunDialog(12);
PlaySound(4);
RunDialog(13);
SetGraphicalVariable("checked door", 1);
return;
}

Help?

Ok... I fixed it...

character[EGO].Walk(161, 106, eBlock, eWalkableAreas);
RunDialog(;
object[0].SetView(3);
object[0].Animate(0, 4, eOnce, eBlock, eForwards);
character[EGO].ChangeView(9);
object[0].Animate(0, 4, eOnce, eBlock, eForwards);
Wait(240);
object[0].Animate(0, 4, eOnce, eBlock, eForwards);
Wait(30);
object[0].Animate(1, 4, eOnce, eBlock, eForwards);
character[EGO].ChangeView(1);
character[EGO].FaceLocation(180, 20, eBlock);
RunDialog(12);
PlaySound(4);
RunDialog(13);
SetGraphicalVariable("checked door", 1);
return;

Problem is things happen in all kinds of weird order. GAH. As in, he walks to it, it opens, he steps in, it opens and stays open, it closes and opens, he appears, it makes a sound... then all 3 dialogs run.

Code: Select all

function object0_b() { 
 // script for Object 0 (Bathroom Door): Interact object 
character[EGO].Walk(161,  106, eBlock, eWalkableAreas); 
RunDialog(; 
oBdoor.SetView(0, 3); 
oBdoor.Animate(0, 4, eOnce, eBlock, eForwards); 
character[EGO].ChangeView(9); 
oBdoor.Animate(1, 4, eOnce, eBlock, eForwards); 
Wait(240); 
oBdoor.Animate(0, 4, eOnce, eBlock, eForwards); 
Wait(30); 
oBdoor.Animate(1, 4, eOnce, eBlock, eForwards);              < - - - - This is the line it is having a problem with. 
character[EGO].ChangeView(1); 
character[EGO].FaceLocation(180, 20, eBlock); 
RunDialog(12); 
PlaySound(4); 
RunDialog(13); 
SetGraphicalVariable("checked door", 1); 
return; 
}

This is how it SHOULD look. The syntax was simply wrong, but the code in itself was okay.

As an alternative you could have written:

Code: Select all

object[0].Animate(1, 4, eOnce, eBlock, eForwards);              < - - - - This is the line it is having a problem with.

assuming, of course, that oBdoor was the first object in the room. The latter approach is only useful if you're trying to adress room objects from the global script.

Aha. Thanks. I still have the problem of things out of order. Here's my edit...

Code: Select all


  // script for Object 0 (Bathroom Door): Interact object
  
if (GetGraphicalVariable("bdoor") == 1) {

RunDialog(6);

}

if (GetGraphicalVariable("bdoor") == 0) {

character[EGO].Walk(161,  106, eBlock, eWalkableAreas);
RunDialog(8);
oBdoor.SetView(3);
oBdoor.Animate(0, 4, eOnce, eBlock, eForwards);
character[EGO].ChangeView(9);
oBdoor.Animate(0, 4, eOnce, eBlock, eForwards);
Wait(240);
oBdoor.Animate(0, 4, eOnce, eBlock, eForwards);
Wait(30);
oBdoor.Animate(1, 4, eOnce, eBlock, eForwards);
character[EGO].ChangeView(1);
character[EGO].FaceLocation(180, 20, eBlock);
RunDialog(12);
PlaySound(4);
RunDialog(13);
SetGraphicalVariable("bdoor", 1);
return;
}

again...

Okay, I just had something out of order. However!

Dialog 8 is still playing at the end, right before 12 and 13. It doesn't happen when it's supposed to. I don't get it.

Back when I was doing "display message" or "character.say" functions, I didn't have this problem. Why should it be different with dialog?

Hell with it. I'll try calling a script from dialog 8.

That's because unlike display and .say, rundialog can trigger other pieces of code, hence AGS won't run the actual dialog until all code in that block is processed. You'll have to run the code after dialog 8 from within dialog 8.
