Title: Right-Click "Look"
Post by: Charles on March 19, 2003, 08:35:20 PM

Just one quick question -- I haven`t actually looked too hard for this, but it is just a passing question of mine, so I thought I`d tap the resource of all the knowledgable people on this forum:

With SCI Studio, can you (and how easy is it) to do right-click looking at objects.  Similar to was used in QFG1/2.  (Also, ctrl-click for get object... QFG2 did that to a very limited extent.)

I did this in a test SCI script I wrote a while back.

Anyway here is the info on it:

I never knew you could Ctrl-Click in QfG2 to get objects! Can you give some more details about that feature? On what objects did it work?

I don`t think it actually worked on many useful objects.  About the only thing I know for a fact it recognizes a ctrl-click on in QFG2 is the street lamp outside of EOF.  And all it says there is you can`t get that.

Really, I don`t think there are alot of objects in QFG2 that you can get, that are plainly visible on the screen.

The only ones I can think of trying off-hand are the magic lamp after you defeat the fire elemental, the Djinn ring, your equipment after it gets taken.

Cool - I should try that.
How did you learn about this Ctrl-Click combination?

I stumbled across it once while messing around with the QFG2 debug system.

Lemme guess. You used the Feature Writer and Ctrl-clicking was mentioned in one of it's questions?

That coulda been it.  It`s really been a long time since I did it.   But that sounds like something I`d go messing around in.

Don't bother. All it does is poop out an instance definition that you might be able to directly use in SCI Studio if not for a load of unimplemented properties ;D
