Another syntax problem

[juhuwoorps]

I tried this:

Code: Select all

IF stickbewegt=1
THEN  Hotspot(7).move =180*15
End If

And I get the error THEN EXPECTED.

I think it's just a syntax error but I don't know how to get it right

Thanks for help!

Hi there...

Try this..

Code: Select all

If stickbewegt=1 Then
Hotspot(7).Move 180*15,170*15,100*15,100*15 ---Just an example

End if

Just so you know for future reference..the "Then" has to be on the same line as the If statement...
Peace~

Ok.
I tried this and the error is gone, but the hotspot doesn't move.

I wrote it in the hotspot properties->no move
I wrote it in the frame properties->no move.


The variable is changed to 1

you need both x and y coordinates to move it.

So you need

Code: Select all

IF stickbewegt=1 THEN 
Hotspot(7).move =180*15,150*15
End If

Juhuwoorps, did you figure this out..I see you have another thread here..wondering if it's the same problem..and you have figured it out ..

Also are you trying to move an inventory item or backround item?

Peace~

Ok. ?hm.
Perhaps it's better to show you what I want to do.

I want to click a hotspot in the first frame and set a variable(e.g test)=1

When I switch to the second frame and test=1, I want to move another hotspot
in the second frame(e.g spot2).

If I use the codes you posted, they'll only work without the "If .... then" code.

I know I can do this on other ways like enable/disable hotspots, but I want to know how to use it right and i have the offer to get a special effect;)

I hope you understand my problem.

Thanks for answers!

Hi there..

No that code won't work for what you want..Only because each HS has its own identity in its frame..so that code definetly won't do it..I beleive hotspot.move works to move a HS within the same frame.


If someone else might know of something ..but I have only ever used it within the same frame...

Peace.

[juhuwoorps]

The code doesn't work also in the same frame

Nevermind. I work on another way to get what i want.

Many thanks for your answers and your efforts to help me.

Hope it would be the same next time

If you want a hotspot to move within the same frame..then try it like this then..Have it load the picture and move then...

Put this in the advanced...of say hotspot(1)

Code: Select all

If myvariable = 1 Then
Action.LoadAPicture Hotspot(5),"Picture"---put the pic u want to move.
Hotspot(5).Move 52*15,26*15,790*15,595*15
End if


Make hotspot(5) only visible when hotspot 1 variable =1..work with variable tab as well If you want..


Peace

Hope that helps..

Are you sure you have gone to VB Variables and added the integer variable test?

[juhuwoorps]

I'm not shure. I'll try it later this day a second time with a new test project.
Perhaps I have had some other errors at the last time
