Hi!

I wanted to have an animated sprite in the beginning of the game, without the actor, because it is supposed to be the actor lying down on the ground.
So I decided to load the actor after the sprite have done its job, and so this is what I came up with:
game.script

Code: [Select]

// which scene to load?
Game.ChangeScene(Game.StartupScene);
//create animated sprite on scene
var wakeupanim= Scene.CreateEntity("wakeupanimation");
wakeupanim.SetSprite("Animations\wakeupscene1.sprite");
wakeupanim.X=280;
wakeupanim.Y=521;
//Let animated sprite animate before fade out
Sleep(5000);
//Delete sprite from scene
wakeupanim.DeleteEntity("wakeupanimation");
Scene.FadeOut(100);
Game.ChangeScene(Game.StartupScene);
//Load main actor
actor = Game.LoadActor("actors\Naomi\Naomi.actor");
Game.MainObject = actor;
This works totally fine. But I still get an error saying:
 "12:08:26:  Runtime error. Script 'scripts\game.script', line 39
12:08:26:    Call to undefined method 'DeleteEntity'. Ignored."

It does delete the sprite anyways, because its not there once the scene is loaded again with the actor.
But I'm just thinking it might ruin other things with the game further on, is there something i need to fix so that i do not get the error?

[metamorphium]

correct could would be:

Code: WME Script

1. Scene.DeleteEntity(wakeupanim);

Ah right, I see. Thank you

I noticed tho that i get another error, thats only there when I have that code in the file. If i remove it, it doesn't get the error.
I removed the deleteEntity in any case because when i reload the scene the entity seems to disappear on its own.

The error is:
07:34:54:  Runtime error. Script 'scenes\Room\scr\scene_init.script', line 5
07:34:54:    Call to undefined method 'SkipTo'. Ignored

I have not edited the scene_init.script, but it doesn't seem to be that file having errors, but the game.exe doing something to make the engine say there's an error there.

Here's what the whole coding looks like so far for the game.script file:

Code: [Select]

#include "scripts\base.inc"
#include "scripts\keys.inc"

// store some of the game's attributes in global variables for convenience
Keyboard = Game.Keyboard;
Scene = Game.Scene;


// load the right-click menu
global WinMenu = Game.LoadWindow("interface\menu\menu.window");
WinMenu.Visible = false;

// load the "caption" window
var win = Game.LoadWindow("interface\system\caption.window");
global WinCaption = win.GetControl("caption");


global MenuObject = null;






// run the "game loop" script
Game.AttachScript("scripts\game_loop.script");




//create animated sprite on scene
Game.ChangeScene(Game.StartupScene);
var wakeupanim= Scene.CreateEntity("wakeupanimation");
wakeupanim.SetSprite("Animations\wakeupscene1.sprite");
wakeupanim.X=280;
wakeupanim.Y=521;
wakeupanim.Scale=100;
//Let animated sprite animate before fade out
Sleep(5000);
//Delete sprite from scene
Scene.FadeOut(100);
Game.ChangeScene(Game.StartupScene);
//Load main actor
actor = Game.LoadActor("actors\Naomi\Naomi.actor");
Game.MainObject = actor;


actor.SubtitlesPosX = 0;
actor.SubtitlesPosY = 550;
actor.SubtitlesWidth=1324;

If you read correctly the error you are getting, you can see, that the problem is in the file:

scenes\Room\scr\scene_init.script

which is a default template file for a new scene (you can change those too btw.). Default template reference actor which is positioned to some place in the scene (hence SkipTo).

Problem with your code is that you load your code AFTER scene change:

Code: WME Script

1.  
2. Game.ChangeScene(Game.StartupScene);
3. //Load main actor
4. actor = Game.LoadActor("actors\Naomi\Naomi.actor");
5. Game.MainObject = actor;
6.  
7. actor.SubtitlesPosX = 0;
8. actor.SubtitlesPosY = 550;
9. actor.SubtitlesWidth=1324;
10.  

your code should rather be:

Code: WME Script

1. //Load main actor
2. actor = Game.LoadActor("actors\Naomi\Naomi.actor");
3. Game.MainObject = actor;
4.  
5.  
6. actor.SubtitlesPosX = 0;
7. actor.SubtitlesPosY = 550;
8. actor.SubtitlesWidth=1324;
9.  
10. Game.ChangeScene(Game.StartupScene);
11.  
12.
