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.

Hi Ron,

first of all I would recommend moving the

Code: [Select]

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:

Code: [Select]

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:

Code: [Select]

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:

Code: [Select]

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:

Code: [Select]

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,

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)...

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.

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..

[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)
