Technical forum / Problem: DropItem or SceneNode-Saving

« on: November 11, 2010, 02:56:09 AM »

Hello everyone!

I seemingly have the typical problem where the scene entities related to an item get set back to their original place in the scene after I drop them.
Of course I searched for a way to solve it (here on the forum) and I found it: I added a line to my custom Take-function where the scene entity's relation to the item gets disconnected...
It worked!
But then I confronted a new part of the same problem:
When I take an object, leave the scene to fetch another item, come back to the first scene and then drop both items while making a new one out of them, the first item reappears!
But as I found out after some trials, the entities' disconnected relations are connected again when I enter a scene again.

* "Remember nodes states" in SceneEdit is flagged.
* I tried ".SaveState" on the scene entities to be taken as well as on the scene -- didn't change anything.

I beg for a hint since I have been trying on this for several days now! @_@

Technical forum / GetAttachment-Problem ?

« on: October 17, 2010, 02:41:28 AM »

Hello. I want to attach a head to my actor, separately from the body. But in this case, I'm talking about a 2D-Actor.
So I used "AddAttachment" to put an entity onto my actor (named Honda)...

Code: [Select]

ENTITY
{
  SPRITE = "actors/Honda/hondahead01.png"
}

So far it worked, but when I try to manipulate that attachment, my code does nothing, and neither do I get any informative debug-log.
(The following code is meant to change the attached file to fit the actor's direction.)

Code: [Select]

this.AddAttachment("actors/Honda/hondahead01.entity", true, -45, -384);
var Hondahead = this.GetAttachment(0);

while(true) {
if(this.Direction=="DI_LEFT") {
Hondahead.SetSprite("actors/Honda/hondahead01.png");
}
if(this.Direction=="DI_RIGHT") {
Hondahead.SetSprite("actors/Honda/hondahead02.png");
}
Sleep(20);
}

I have tried several variations of this code, changing the "DI_LEFT" to "LEFT" etc., calling the attachment's filename instead of an index number, and other details.
But since I won't get any failure messages in the log I don't know what is wrong and I must suppose that there several faults in it, which increases my confusion.
So I beg for help, please!

Technical forum / Writing into the response box?

« on: September 29, 2010, 01:45:50 PM »

Hello, I'm new here.

I just started having a look at WME and I wonder: Is it possible to write text into the response box (no response, merely some text introducing the responses)?
What I would like to do would be an RP-style dialogue system like in the the old Black Isle games, rather like a "log" of dialogues.

Thanks for helping me out.
