2 QUESTIONS

[GORDON]

Thanks for all the previous help! 2 Questions:
1. Using the magnifier on an item gives me my frame. If I change that frame to a new frame, I don't want to exit to "last frame visited"
How can I get back to the frame the player last visited before using the magnifier, which could be anywhere?

2.If a frame property has the code "Action.AddItem "ABC" how do I stop adding duplicate items everytime I go to that frame?

How can I get back to the frame the player last visited before using the magnifier, which could be anywhere?

There might be a way to do this with scripting, but I don't know how.

2.If a frame property has the code "Action.AddItem "ABC" how do I stop adding duplicate items everytime I go to that frame?

I think the easiest way to do this would be to check the "Hide and disable permanently" box in the Action panel for the hotspot's Hotspot Properties pop-up.

The problem with disabling the hotspot is: You can't close the frame image anytime someone uses the magnifier on the item.

Hi,

The question is simple: use a variable.

1. The variable contains the name of the frame to go to, give the value (frame name) when you pick the item. Use goto frame action with this value
2. The variable is 1 if the item can be added and you make it 0 once the items is picked up so duplicating is not possible.

Use a global variable they are saved with the game.

Just give it a try

With best regards,
