ok i need some help... i get a script error when i use some inv items on each other, but the interaction still works and the inv items are removed, it seems to happen if the inv panel is kept open more than twice between interactions, if i allow the panel to close its ok http://www.rottengames.co.uk/uploads/escape.zip if you find any other problems let me know or better ways to do things.. the main character has no animation! only standing poses :oops: i'm doing him tomorrow my filing system sucks! even i can't understand it and i did it! :? update 16 jan 2006 11.48am now has an intro! heres the walkthrough http://www.rottengames.co.uk/uploads/walkthrough.txt

Hi! Fun game! Now for the bugs... 1.Use Item on item makes an error message. 2.there is phases without a name. 3.Some of the object's walking dot is not on the place so the player goes to somewhere else. 4.In the back of the track when you use or look at the objects, there is no text - mybe becuase there is no player on the screen. 5.The walk grid needs improvment. That is preety much everything.... Not too bad but prety easy. I will try to fix the Error message when using items on items.

Sounds like I need to get my butt in gear and get the player-only app online... We have an impending release! I'll package it tonight and hopefully have it up in the morning. Once the player is available, you'll be able to secure your .cst so that it won't open in the LASSIE editor and users cannot tamper with your game data. It's not iron-clad security by any means, but it should at least block most Director non-power-users out.

BTW: before I go error-searching in your game file, can you give a specific place where using items will produce a script error? Also, is it the infamous 'Director Player Error' message, or is it a Lassie notification starting with "LASSIE:"? I'm hoping it's the second.

@bigmac i get the script error when i try to assemble the bomb, the first 3 interactions work ok.. its the next 3, if you let the inventory window close between each event it doesn't do it.. @lord noodle thanks m9 for some reason i couldn't get text to display at the truck, like you sed its probably because the character is turned off? i'll look into fixing the other errors thanks guys

Yes, it's becuase the character is set to off. maybe you could create another character without any graphics that will be like-invisible but the text will be viewed. i did an invisible character and i now have speech in the truck room fixed the glow around the main character so hes more or less how he wants to look, he now has all his moves but no animation attached yet http://www.rottengames.co.uk/uploads/escape.zip updated version

The character looks good and the text is viewed! Ok looks great!

This is the first real published gaame in LASSIE! Congratulation!
