Does anyone know a tutorial for making agnts with text parts? (PAT: TXT as well as PAT: FIXD) Please post with links. |

There's not really a strict text-part tutorial that I know of; is there something you're having trouble with in particular? I have pretty extensive experience with both.  [Naturing :: Nurturing] |

is there something you're having trouble with in particular? Jes, indeed: I'm having trouble getting text into the text-part. When I tried the PAT: TEXT I got the cursor on cliking it, but I wasn't able to type any kind of text (pressing keys on the keyboard resulted in nothing). Using PAT: FIXD and PTXT to set the text gave no result as well. Both times the sprite of the text-part was as large as the sprite of the "body part", could that be the problem? I made it 25 pixels high (not sure if smaller would work, but that's the hight that all text-parts of the infirmary use) wich workes on other agents (not made by me), so that should not be the problem. |

Hmmm, 25px high should be plenty, assuming you're using the default whiteontransparentchars font. Have you made use of FRMT at all? By default, I believe it gives you margins of 8px or something all around, which might make your text area too small. You could try targing the part setting all the margins to 0 (frmt 0 0 0 0 0 0 0) and see if that helps? If that's not the case I might have to see the code to really understand what's going on.

I haven't used FRMT I'll try that, and than report back. EDIT: Using FRMT workes! Thanks a lot. But I have an other problem: when I click a TEXT-part I get this cursor thing and can write on that part. On other agents TEXT-parts using return makes me "say" whatever I type in next (using the speech bubble), but on my agent pressing return resultes in nothing. Edit2: I found out how to get that myself, but I do not understand at all why it works... so here is the script for cliking the text part:
I'm not sure if TARGing the OWNR is really necessary if there is not more script afterwards, but it works... |
