Hiya!  I need to change the text that appears everytime you use an item on another. (That little piece of text that says "Use xxxx on xxx" ... I was wondering if there's a way to change the Y cordinate and make this text appear much lower on the screen.

Hello 

I was wondering if there's a way to change the Y cordinate and make this text appear much lower on the screen

Of course, there is a way how to manipulate with text possition when you want to use one item with another. Please, open game_loop.script.

Code: WME Script

1. #include "scripts\base.inc"
2.  
3. global WinCaption;
4. global WinMenu;
5.  
6. // infinite loop
7. while(true){
8.  
9.   // save the active object for later
10.   var ActObj = Game.ActiveObject;
11.  
12.   // handle the standard foating caption
13.   if(Game.Interactive && ActObj!=null)
14.   {
15.     if (Game.SelectedItem==null)
16.     {
17.       WinCaption.X = Game.MouseX;
18.       WinCaption.Y = Game.MouseY + 20;
19.       WinCaption.TextAlign = TAL_LEFT;
20.       WinCaption.Text = ActObj.Caption;
21.  
22.       // keep the caption on screen
23.       WinCaption.SizeToFit();
24.       if(WinCaption.X + WinCaption.Width > Game.ScreenWidth) WinCaption.X = Game.ScreenWidth - WinCaption.Width;
25.       if(WinCaption.Y + WinCaption.Height > Game.ScreenHeight) WinCaption.Y = Game.ScreenHeight - WinCaption.Height;
26.     }
27.     // handle the caption when you want to use an object with another
28.     // this is what you need so you can try changing X or Y coordinates by  yourself
29.     else {
30.       var Item = Game.SelectedItem;
31.  
32.       WinCaption.X = 0;
33.       WinCaption.Y = 580;
34.       WinCaption.Width = Game.ScreenWidth;
35.       WinCaption.TextAlign = TAL_CENTER;
36.       WinCaption.Text = "Use " + Item.Caption + " with " + ActObj.Caption;
37.     }
38.     WinCaption.Visible = true;
39.     WinCaption.Focus();
40.   }
41.   else WinCaption.Visible = false;
42.  
43.   // go to sleep for 20 miliseconds to allow the engine to perform other tasks
44.   Sleep(20);
45. }
46.  

Let´s have a closer look on this piece of code:

Code: WME Script

1. // handle the caption when you want to use an object with another
2.     // this is what you need so you can try changing X or Y coordinates by  yourself
3.     else {
4.       var Item = Game.SelectedItem;
5.  
6.       WinCaption.X = 0;
7.       // change this value
8.       WinCaption.Y = 580;
9.       WinCaption.Width = Game.ScreenWidth;
10.       WinCaption.TextAlign = TAL_CENTER;
11.       WinCaption.Text = "Use " + Item.Caption + " with " + ActObj.Caption;
12.     }
13.     WinCaption.Visible = true;
14.     WinCaption.Focus();
15.   }

Thanks a lot!... It finally works!!!    I think I finally found exactly that ít is actually located on the game_loop.script.

Code: [Select]

// handle the caption when you want to use an object with another
    else {
      var Item = Game.SelectedItem;

      WinCaption.X = 0;
      WinCaption.Y = 820;
      WinCaption.Width = Game.ScreenWidth;
      WinCaption.TextAlign = TAL_CENTER;
      WinCaption.Text = "Use " + Item.Caption + " with " + ActObj.Caption;
    }
    WinCaption.Visible(I´ve just changed the value of WinCaption.Y = to exactly what I needed)  The thing is I´ve been looking after it for many months (checking many scripts like game or game-loop but sadly I couldn´t found it until now. ) Thanks again.
