Hi, I'm finding problems in working with multiple main characters.

The idea is make the same as "Day of the Tentacle" or "Maniac Mansion", the player can change the main actor in the game.

Code: [Select]

actor1=Game.LoadActor(actor1);
actor2=Game.LoadActor(actor2);

Game.MainObject=actor1;
If 2 actors are assigned to Game (Game.LoadActor), like in the code I wrote, I have the 2 actors in all rooms. This is bad because If the player goes to another room with actor1, the actor2 would be staying in the previous room.
When the player selects to play with actor2, the game needs to change the current scene to the current room of actor2. It doesn't work.

Any help? Any example? Anyone have worked with more than one actor in WME?

Thanks.

If you don't want an actor to be visible, simply hide it (set its .Active property to false). The engine doesn't keep track of which actor is in which scene (it only sees the current scene). If you need that, you'll have to keep track of it yourself.
