1) you most likely have not built a 3D object file to be the floor of the set.
2) This is all default.. in the scene thing there should be a area for assigning sounds to an object.. or you can assign scripts to the object to have more control and use the scripts to play the sounds.
3) Not sure what you mean

a good idea when getting errors is to post your error log.

I think 3 means using an object with another. Like "use hammer with glass".

To do this you only have to add some lines on "glass" (in this case) object's script.

Something like (hammer is the name of the object in your inventory):

Code: WME Script

1. on "hammer"
2. {
3. //add here your script
4. }

You don't have to apologize for your questions.  I asked a lot of them.  Some of them were ignorant (not stupid but ignorant because I didn't know certain things).  That's how I learned--by asking a lot of questions and not caring if they were ignorant or even stupid.  :  )  But it's important to post your code so someone can examine it and see where it needs some improvement and to post your code errors that show up in either your SceneEdit log or your WME log so Mnemonic and others can help you.  If you don't know how to find your WME log or your SceneEdit log, please say something.  :  ) 

And if you want to use one object on another you have to code them for example use crow on bar to make crowbar.  You make item crow and item bar and then code both crow script and bar script as follows:

Code: WME Script

1. #include "scripts\base.inc"
2.  
3. on "LeftClick"
4. {
5.     Game.SelectedItem = "crow";
6. }
7.  
8. on "bar"
9. {   Game.TakeItem("crowbar");
10.     Game.DeleteItem("bar");     
11.         Game.DeleteItem("crow");
12. }
13.  
14. and on crow:
15.  
16. #include "scripts\base.inc"
17.  
18. on "LeftClick"
19. {
20.     Game.SelectedItem = "bar";
21. }
22.  
23. on "crow"
24. {   Game.TakeItem("crowbar");
25.         Game.DeleteItem("crow");
26.         Game.DeleteItem("bar"); 
27.         }
28.  

So each object can interact with the other and you get a new object--it's all there in the WME Book. 

But it's very important to remember that when you're coding an object and deleting it that you put all the script necessary to run BEFORE the deleteitem of the item you're talking about-- because once you delete the item you're talking about-- the script that follows will not kick in cause the item is gone--so get into the habit of deleting your items that you are talking about at the very end of your script.

All that is beyond me but in your game script do you have something like:

Game.InventoryObject = actor;

?

I don't see anything wrong there.  Are you getting error messages in WME log file?  Or in scene log file?  You should always check for error messages and post them in the forum. 

Title: Re: 3 question in wme
Post by: Ron_Emad2 on April 03, 2009, 11:48:55 AM

No,I dont get any error
but when i take item ,it dont show in inventory item

Title: Re: 3 question in wme
Post by: Mnemonic on April 03, 2009, 12:00:06 PM

Does the TakeItem() line get called? Add some diagnostic messages like this:

Code: WME Script

1. Game.Msg("Taking item");
2. actor.TakeItem("anbor");
3. Game.Msg("Taken: " + actor.HasItem("anbor"));
4. Game.Msg("Whos inventory is displayed: " + Game.InventoryObject);
5.  

What displays on screen when you do this?

Title: Re: 3 question in wme
Post by: Ron_Emad2 on April 03, 2009, 12:37:05 PM

i test it
it work fine but
item dont apper(show)in inventory item

Title: Re: 3 question in wme
Post by: Mnemonic on April 03, 2009, 12:41:09 PM

So what output did you get? You should get something like:

Taking item
Taken: yes
Whos inventory is displayed: [actor]

If you still don't see the item, there's something wrong with your inventory box definition (i.e. the part of the user interface which displays inventory).

Title: Re: 3 question in wme
Post by: Ron_Emad2 on April 03, 2009, 12:57:43 PM

takin item
taken : yes
whos inventory displayed:[gameobject]

Title: Re: 3 question in wme
Post by: Mnemonic on April 03, 2009, 01:07:27 PM

Ok, so either change it to Game.TakeItem() OR add the line

Game.InventoryObject = actor;

to your game.script (it is present in the code you posted above, I thought it was the code you were using...).

Title: Re: 3 question in wme
Post by: Ron_Emad2 on April 03, 2009, 01:35:52 PM

oh, when i add this code (Game.InventoryObject = actor;)to my game it take item and it apper(show)in inventory item
yhanks
oh another question: i must use this code(Game.InventoryObject = actor;)in all item?

Title: Re: 3 question in wme
Post by: Mnemonic on April 03, 2009, 01:43:24 PM

No, you only need to add it once (preferrably to game.script).

In WME, each object (game, actors, entities...) can have their own items. That's why you can use both:

Game.TakeItem("something");
  and
actor.TakeItem("something");

The Game.InventoryObject property then specifies, who's items are displayed on screen.
It's intended for games with several playable characters, to allow you switching between them.
