Endless Rooms
I was playing SQ3 today and I came up with a problem if I was to script parts of it in AGS. Not that I am scripting it, I just think about these things sometimes.
The scene in ScumSoft where Roger is in the circular corridor and he keeps walking north (or south I suppose). It's a circular room and he will walk past the same door without changing room. Is this sort of thing possible in AGS?

I remember you asking here about the KQ3-Medusa puzzle because you just thought of those things sometimes.Not that I am scripting it, I just think about these things sometimes.
It WOULD be a tricky thing to script. Best way to handle it, I think, would be to create a room with a Roger-object/character, an outerwall-object and an innerwall-object. Block the walk-button on the interface and create a GUI with arrows and a stop button on the right. The left/right arrows would make the closeup-Roger walk as usual, but the up/down arrows would make him animate his south/north-walking loop in place while the outerwall and innerwall animate to simulate room scrolling. Have a variable run along to keep track of Roger's position in the hallway, so the inner and outer doors are displayed on the inner and outer-wall at appropriate times. (there's a distance-frame for the outer doors when you're one space to the south of them)

Actually, I wasn't working on KQ3 then. I don't think anyway. To be honest, it started off as a veiled way to ask how the alleys in QFG2VGA were being done cause it's a similar situation.I remember you asking here about the KQ3-Medusa puzzle because you just thought of those things sometimes.
Thats actually the way I thought of doing it too Erpy. Thanks.
Navy, I've never checked out the demo quest, I think I might.
i was thinking about doing a room where its basically the same over and over and over again for quite a few times untill finally you get out of it. basically i thought that if i used a some sort of variable then everytime you leave the room it adds 1 to the variable then immediately after that it does a variable check and if the number is the right number then you finally get to goto a different room. if its not correct then you start in the south part of that room again

That's actually what I used on the KQ3 remake IA is working on. For the desert (and the ocean) you go through the same room about 7 times before you die. Each time you leave the room to the left it add 1 to the var, to the right it subtracts 1. If you reach 7 you die.
I was actually trying to work out how I would do a room like say the alley's in QFG2. Where it continually changed yet is huge. Or in SQ3 like my example.
