okay in my game i want to make a character that you have to talk to is that possible?

Yeah it is

Here is one way you could do it. First you would have two actors:

1. Player: The main character that you control
2. AI: The actor you talk to

Now what you want to do is set up a key down event for the AI actor like this:

Code: Select all

AI -> Key down -> whatever button you want -> script editor ->
if(distance(Player.x, Player.y, AI.x, AI.y) <= some distance)
{
    //put your talking code here
}

Hope that helped

i did that and it said
error line 1: Undeclared identifier some

post your script

Haha, you are supposed to replace "some distance" with a number. That number is how close the player has to be in order to talk to AI

o well how far away should he be i want it to be where in the game you go in front of him and press the up key to talk

That is for you to decide. Play around with different numbers to find one that fits

okay so if i replace some with 10 it says

error line 1: expected )

You have to replace "some distance" not just "some". Like this:

Code: Select all

AI -> Key down -> whatever button you want -> script editor ->
if(distance(Player.x, Player.y, AI.x, AI.y) <= 10)
{
    //put your talking code here
}

That should work

okay thanks and i saw that you are making animations?

okay and should repeat be on?

You're welcome and yes, I do make animations. Are you in need of any?

hunter84 wrote:okay and should repeat be on?

No

and why does the player go behind Al instead of in front of Al?

It is probobly a problem with your zdepth. Try lowering the zdepth for AI

yes i would like to have some game art because i tried making a character and it wasn't any good.

how do i change the z depth?
