Robb, I'd be happy to see *any* source code you wanted to share. As much as possible! :)

Seriously though, I'd appreciate it.

Whoa! Thought I responded to this.

I use this method:

Code: Select all

	graphic
	{
	
		select(LocationState[11])
			case 1
			{
				current_resource_file = "mall"
				current_resource = "sporting01"
			}

			case 2
			{
				current_resource_file = "mall"
				current_resource = "sporting02"
			}

			case 3
			{
				current_resource_file = "mall"
				current_resource = "sporting03"
			}
			else
			{
				current_resource_file = "mall"
				current_resource = "sporting01"
			}

		return -1
	}
If I remember right, the thing I was missing was the "return -1" bit.

If you're stuck at all, Hugella, just let me know. I've got plenty of source code I can send you with multiple graphics going on in the same room. I did wrestle with it for a night a few years ago, but Kent pointed me in the right direction, and I definitely hope that getting it working yourself doesn't slow you down, because the solution's all there.

graphic property routine

Hmm. Actually that should work (the example Robb posted). I don't remember if we eventually figured out what was going on or not.

Anyway, what I usually use is a property routine. (This example is a lot simpler if you assume all graphics are in the same resourcefile.)

So in the room object, I might have something like:

Code: Select all

graphic
{
     if roomdoor is open
          return "roomgraphic_dooropen"
     else
          return "roomgraphic_doorclosed"

     etc.
}
That way, all the logic for the room's graphic gets kept in one place.

Same room, different graphic redux

by Hugella » Wed Mar 10, 2004 11:07 am

Back in 2000, Jonsey posted <a href="http://groups.google.com/groups?q=hugo+ ... num=340">a question</a> to raif asking basically, how can i get a single room object to display multiple pictures based on the current status of that room.

Did you ever get an answer? (Google doesn't record one.)
If so, what is it?
