Noob question
« on: August 26, 2004, 05:55:26 AM »

Hi all, this is my first post here. I've downloaded WME today, and it is just great (a friend of mine recommend it, he did a game called 'Sofia's Debt' with WME).

I read and did the tutorial that comes with the help file, but I have a doubt.

I have a character and an object. I want that when the character talks to this object, she will walk to a certain point and the object will go to her.

I've edited the object script writing:

on "Talk"
{
  actor.GoToObject(this);
  actor.Talk("Holaa?? Hola, señor extraterrestre?");
  actor.GoTo(200, 700);
}

and it worked, the character moved to that point. But then, I write:

  entity.SkipTo(500, 600);

and when I run the game, I can't click with the right button to select the talk option. What should I do?

My other question, is there another tutorial somewhere?

Thanks  :).

Hello and welcome,

So if I understand correctly, the problem is if you right-click the entity the menu won't show up?
It's hard to say what exactly is causing this without seeing the scene, but I'd guess the problem is that your object is obstructed by some other object. If you move the mouse pointer above your object, it its name displayed at the right edge of the screen?
Also make sure the script with that on "Talk" code is attached to the right object.

As for the tutorials, the one in the documentation should cover the most common tasks. You will find some advanced techniques here: http://forum.dead-code.org/index.php?board=13.0
And of course you can always ask here at the forum :)

WME is easier than it looks like, believe me  ;)

Yes, the script is in the right entity (the only one in the screen), and the name appears in the right side of the screen (in the debug mode). I'm guessing maybe it's a problem with regions? Because the object it's in the sky, and the sky has no regions. Could be that?

Hm, no, I don't think so. The menu should work regardless. Would you mind sending me the project if it's not too big?
