Hi, I´m new with the WME and a friend and I wanted to make a graphic adventure. The problem is that we have no idea how to reproduce a video when you do something like to ignite the light...

Please, i know you are good like this, if anyone can help us we would be grateful for it.

Thanks!!

The best instructions for videos are here.

http://res.dead-code.org/doku.php/kbase:tranzaudiosimple

But you don't have to use a video to ignite a light. It's much better to use a sprite. Get a glow sprite that goes from a small to a large image (so you'd have at least 3 images--small glow, medium glow and large glow) and then change the sprite for your object that holds the light to that.

For example:

Code: WME Script

var Entvar=Scene.GetNode("Gl");
 

then somewhere

Code: WME Script

Entvar.SetSprite("scenes\Name of your scene\Glow.sprite");

We've tryed it, but it apeard an "script error"

I attach you the code:

Code: [Select]

#include "scripts\base.inc"


////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
on "LookAt"
{
  GoToObject(551, 565);
var mirar; 
 
mirar[0] = "Una lámpara";  
mirar[1] = "Está encendida"; 
var reply = Random(0,1); 
actor.Talk(mirar[reply]);
}

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
on "Take"
{
  GoToObject(551, 565);
var Entvar=Scene.GetNode("Gl");
Entvar.SetSprite("scenes\Room\Lámparaencendida\Lámparavideo.sprite");
Sleep(650);
}


////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
on "Talk"
{
  actor.GoTo(551, 565);
  actor.TurnTo(DI_RIGHT);
var hablar; 
 
hablar[0] = "¿Por quién me has tomado?";  
hablar[1] = "No quiero hablar con la lámpara"; 
hablar[2] = "Ilumíname";
var reply = Random(0,2); 
actor.Talk(hablar[reply]);
}

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
on "LeftClick"
{
  GoToObject();
}


////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
function GoToObject()
{
  actor.GoTo(551, 565);
  actor.TurnTo(DI_UPRIGHT);
}

Sorry if my english is not perfect and thanks!!

When you enter the room where theres is a lamp, at the top-right appeard: "Script compiled error. View log for details".

When you pulsate to "use" the lampp appears another message that says the following thing "Script runtime mistake. View log for details"

Hmm! I'm afraid that you has a lot of errors in your code

I can see in the log:

- Variable not defined in items/cristal/cristal.script
- There are a lot of image files missing (probably can be a sprite?)
- The script /room/scene_init2.script can't be opened
- Invalid character in the script pomo.script (I think that this error is caused due that the object and var names are in spanish with accents and other signs)
- Invalid call to SetSprite method in lampara.script (it's probably that you are used this function in object but this one isn't a actor, item or entity)

By other way, I see your video problem in the spanish forum, and now I see that catacomber has recommended you to use a sprite, but you are trying to "play" a sprite. ???

If you wish, send me a private message and I talk with you in the chat, becouse there are a lot of things to explain here

Title: Re: Videos
Post by: SP on July 14, 2009, 11:04:01 AM

Thanks!! After several attempts we have achieved that the video works by means of the code " Game. PlayTheora " and converting it to the format ogm =)
Now we would like to know how to play animations. I mean, the videos are very useful for intros or very long animations, but when you want that the actor move his arm switch on a light, or stooping to take an object its more useful using sprites not??

Thank you very much. Smiley

Title: Re: Videos
Post by: Darky on July 14, 2009, 11:31:02 AM

Yes, in that case you'd of course use Sprites and the PlayAnim() function. Take a look at the default WME Demo Project too, it helps.

Post by: HelLRaiseR on July 14, 2009, 04:56:42 PM

You have a detailed explanation in Spanish forum. I recommend you that read the chapter "actors" and "entities" in the wintermute help file. It's explained very well
