multiple responses to an action

[Candle]

How would you do this to a clicked hotspot?
#1 click
I don't want that.
#2 click
I don't need that.
#3 click
Ok I'll take it now.
Give item to player.
Is there a plugin for such?

could you have three hostspots on top of each other with "yes" "no" spots along side?

if you click hot spot one then click "no" hotspot one is removed revealing hotspot two etc..or have variable doing the same job...like a sort of shop interface....

Yes I guess you could do it that way. I was hoping a better way to do it with out a lot of hotspots .

Hi Candle,

I would use a global counter and the select case statement.

Every click increases the counter by one hence the proper action can be taken

You can use thousands of actions that way with only one hotspot.

Good luck,

So you could use something like this from the help file?

EXAMPLE - How to make an hotspot appear after 5 mouse clicks:

If you want a hotspot (let's call it hotspot1) to appear after the player has clicked 5 times on another hotspot (let's call it hotspot2), then follow these steps:

1. Create a new Integer variable called "myvariable"
2. Go to the properties of hotspot1 and set it to be visible only if the value of myvariable is 1 (to do so, use the option "the hotspot must be enabled/visible only if..." that is under the "Variables" tab).
3. Go to the properties of hotspot2 and add the following code to the VBScript text field:

myvariable = myvariable - 1
if myvariable = -5 then myvariable = 1

The initial value of myvariable is 0. The first line of code will decrease the value of myvariable by 1. The second line will check if the value of myvariable is (-5). If that is the case, the value of myvariable will become 1, which will automatically cause hotspot1 to appear.

Hi Candle,

Something like that yes... however I would write it like this... keeping in mind that Counter is a global variable which is set to 0 when the frame is loaded (for example)

Code: Select all

Sub HotSpotClicked

Counter = Counter + 1

Select Case Counter

Case 1

MsgBox "Hello... ?"

Case 2

MsgBox "I said hello... !"

Case 3

Msgbox "Nobody home I guess"

Case 4

Counter = 0

End Select

End Sub

Hope this helps,

Kind regards,

I think I understand. I'll doing some playing and see how it works.

ShadowHunter, you got always so good solutions
I'm eager to learn new features, thanks (even if the idea came originally from Candle)

Hi Mystery,

Thanks

Well... with scripting there are few things you can't to !

How is it working for you Candle ? Feel free to ask for support.

Kind regards,
