This page is for if u have the Full version...the help files are full of useful tips..

You can also reach this page from within AM with the ''Help'' link in any window...--online/offline..

Hope that helps..

Hello mercedes,

I already tryed the help files...they did'nt help me much.
since I know nothing of scripting...and yes, this is for the inventory, but what I need to know is how to remove several diffrent items all at once from the inventory after an answer has been given in the dialogue?

Mercedes is correct, here is an example:

[mercedes]

Hi there...

yes exactly like that...just simply type in each item u want removed..~


Make sure you use the exact name u named the item--in your inventory items..or u will get an error message...

So if you named a couple of them ''knife'' and ''scissors''---You type;

Code: Select all

Action.RemoveItem "knife"
Action.RemoveItem "scissors"

All within the same dialogue box of that answer..as the picture shows u...

I already tried the help files...they didn't help me much. since I know nothing of scripting...

As for the help files, the demonstrations given...are mostly copy and paste..So really u don't need to know much..other than perhaps read what u are pasting..to make sure you have the names of variables and such...if its indeed that type of script... It will tell u if its just copy and paste the script, and where to paste it..~:)

Peace

[Mr.C]

Wow thanks guys,

that was so simple, I now understand!

[Mr.C]

Hello there,

I did what you told me, and it was real easy to do...but now I've been geting two error messages after the answer has been given. The first one is...

Error executing script.
Make sure that:
-your system is not set to use chinese characters, or other special character sets;
-your global variables do not have names that are reserved by Adventure Maker.
The Scripting Engine returned the following error message:
Unterminated string constant

And the second one...

Error executing script.
The Scripting Engine returned the following error message:
Object doesn't support this property or method

Make sure you don't have too many quotations..It has to do with what u have for script in the Advanced tab..once the answer has been given..Usually quote""-- related..

Can u please post here what u have in the Advanced TAB..

I'm assuming you only have a Question and an Answer..?

Nothing associating with a hotspot..

[Mr.C]

Hey there,

yes, just a question and answer, no hotspots
here's the Advaced TAB script

Action.RemoveItem "Blue''
Action.RemoveItem "L-blue''
Action.RemoveItem "Pink''
Action.RemoveItem "Red''
Action.RemoveItem "Yellow''

(Is this what you want to see?)

[mercedes]

Hi there...You are not using proper quotes...Instead u used the single quote--Twice in a row.....Make sure you use the double quotes..by holding down the shift key..

I noticed it when i went to delete the item and input my own..I had to delete twice in a row...lol..

[Mr.C]

Hey there,

I never even notest the the singe quotes, or realisd I typed them!
The script works fine now. Thanks.

[Mr.C]

Hey there again,

I must of done somthing...don't know what--has nothing to with items this time, but I now keep getting an error upon game test or game start. here's the anoing error...

Error executing script.
The Scripting Engine returned the following error message:
Type mismatch: 'DisplayCustomMessageBox'

So obviessly (pardon my bad spelling) I typed the "DisplayCustomMessageBox"...somewere.

[reneuend]

It's more likely AM thinks you are trying to use the "DisplayCustomMessageBox" routine, but are doing so incorrectly. The best thing to do is to check ALL of your custom scripting to be sure you are using them correctly. Also, if you use any illegal characters in one of AM's fields, like the dialogue tool for instance, then this might spur an error. I always run a test of my game after each small change. If you get too far into it without checking your work, it can get really complicated to debug...especially if you have multiple errors and don't know it!

Good luck. If you get too stuck, come back for help.

Hey,

it didn't take me long to find the problem, it was in Project Properties. So
I'm good. and thanks
