The ego can't change the room from east.

Here my codes:

Did I miss something?

Finally I solved my problems by deleting script files on the game directory.

Making src directory, copy any sc and sh files in src directory. Deleting sc and sh files in the game directory.

Recompiling scripts using sc and sh files from src directory. My head hurt.

Yes. Another DG game is coming soon in sci.

For one thing, if you add a class, you must add it to the end of the script, you can't insert it at the beginning. It will mess up the class system.

If you have any of these problems, just click on the menu Compile > Compile All Scripts.

If you have a room 2, you must make sure the top line reads:

(script 2)

For room 3, the top line must read (script 3), etc.

Instead of creating a blank script and copying script.001, use the menu File > New > Room Script.

Good luck!

[Joe]

Can't you place the instances between the two script and room instances?

[Brian Provinciano]

Yes. You can rearrange instances within your scripts without problems (unless you have more than one public instance, which I doubt anyone will).
