- path doesn't keep when creating new game

- map editor, camera movement with shift + trackpad does not work (instead it multi-selects)

- map editor, delete does not delete anything

- voxel editor the zoom in/out does not work with trackpad

Any suggestions? I guess I could try a mouse...

Any help with this will be a life saver. 

Also, after I deleted the first test game files from my first saved example game, I can't get rid of the folder entirely. It just keeps saying Item Not Found, and that the file is located somewhere else (even though its 0 bytes and fully deleted). 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Are you thinking of adding someday a more complex battle system where you can get experience, coins and items?

without battles, isn't a RPG.

Hi there, I downloaded this engine a long time ago, and still cannot get an actual game to run from it.  What am I doing wrong?

Anyway, I'm playing with your example content and it lokks like the Diaplsy message couldn't care less. Whatever I write i the box won't update the actual message in the startup script. And if I edit the script in Notepad, it still don't care. Does it hate me?

Love it so far, will go wrestle with the Voxel editor, regards!!

Still, a double click got me a black screen.

I opened the package contents and ran the game launcher and here's the errors that I received - is there any way I can work around this?  I made my character and the tile in RPG in a Box, no outside materials, no SFX, just the two pieces.

I've noticed two small display bugs:

• Sometimes dialogue boxes don't display the text they contain. It's no big deal since the text is still here when you edit the box, but it seems to happen randomly. It's quite new, I'd say since 0.3.8.4.
• There's an older, rarer bug, where some boxes' width increase dramatically, sometimes until they fill the whole screen. It can happen when moving several selected boxes, but I'm not sure how to reproduce it. The odd thing is the new width is saved with the script. Screenshot here: https://i.imgur.com/RR383io.png (maybe you can even see it in ini_cxoha-doma, it was probably saved in this state before I sent you my latests files).

Sometimes when editing complex scripts like the one I posted yesterday, the script editor lags quite a lot, and may take 1 or 2 seconds before updating a value I'm typing. There's a delay between when I press a key and when the character appears on screen. I'm not sure what happens, but it seems to especially occur in the most "distant" function boxes. Typing in boxes close to the start node works normally, but typing in boxes further down the tree is more likely to cause the issue. I don't remember seeing this on my recent laptop (though I didn't test the same script on it), but it's very noticeable on my 4 years old desktop. It happened before the 0.3.7 version, but I couldn't say when exactly.

I'm currently setting up a scene in rather unusal way where the player is inside a chest with a NPC. The map is the chest itself, with a closed lid. The NPC is on one tile and the player is on the other one. The starting script of the map plays a one-frame animation (more a pose, actually) for the NPC to set her up as kneeled. Everything works fine, but I'd like to rotate the NPC a bit, because she's facing the player in a logical yet frontal, not very "readable" way. So I created a dummy tile out of the chest, gave it an ID, and scripted the NPC to rotate forward this dummy tile. The scripts looks like this:

play_animation(entity["c_qunobe"], "kneeled");
rotate_entity_towards(entity["c_qunobe"], entity["dummy_01"], false)

And this is where I get an ever looping error I believe I had already reported (though the ending was a bit different, if I remember well):

    At: res://npc.gd:17
    SCRIPT ERROR: process: Invalid type in function 'slerp' in base 'Quat'. Cannot convert argument 1 from Nil to Quat.

In the other case, it happened randomly from time to time during my complex introduction dialogue, without major issues. But here, it happens all the time, and the NPC doesn't rotate at all. I used the same trick for A Road to Awe's starting screen except it was with Look At Target Over Time, aiming at a hidden tile behind the title, and it worked fine. Here, it seems Rotate Entity Towards has an issue (unless my trick is a bit too dirty to work as intended lol).

Anyway, there's no hurry, Merry Christmas :)

Required folder "Game.app" is missing from the "export_template" folder.

I've checked, and the Game.app folder is here, with various other files inside. It's no big deal for me, since I don't even have a Mac to test a build, but if the feature works, I'd probably make a Mac version for A Road to Awe.

So I've been diving into scripts, mostly for dialogues, and opening / closing things like doors, curtains, chests, etc. And it works well so far, but there are a few things I don't fully understand, so here come a few questions :)

• There's possibly a bug with global properties (or booleans). For example, I'm checking this at the beginning of a dialogue: global.property["chest2_empty"] == false to launch a dialogue node, and the dialogue never starts. But if I use global.property["chest2_empty"] != true, it works fine. Is it normal?
• In a dialogue, is the default condition self.property["visited"] == "yes" meant to launch the following node if the dialogue has never been started before? I didn't manage to make it work (that's why I ended up using global properties).
• There are booleans and strings, but don't see a way to use integers. Do you plan to add this in the future? I'd probably need something like a way to increment / decrement some global properties to keep track of characters relationships and similar things.
• Also, something useful would be some kind of log or debugger to track properties during the game. Or is there a way to do that with the developer console? Or to print / watch properties in the Godot window?

I think I've found a bug which took me quite a while to understand. Apparently, the On Load Script only works for the first loaded map. I have no problem using a On Load Script on any map if that map is the first one visited in the game. But if the player go to a second map, the On Load Script seems to be ignored. Also, I don't know if it's related or not, but starting a map on a tile with a linked script doesn't trigger that script, you need to move to another tile then come back to trigger it.

Lately I've been animating a bunch of doors and chests, and I have an animation problem I can't figure out.

Sometimes after compiling, when opening a door, the animation plays and the door goes into open position but the "closed" frame stays visible. So the door is both closed and open (Shrödinger's door?) The door still works normally, so you can pass through it when it's supposed to be open. Closing and opening it back and forth a random number of times sometimes make it display properly, but using it again causes the issue to reappear. The behaviour seems to change depending on the animation type. "Clamp" does this, while "Once" works normally except the door seems to open or close twice in a row. Overall it's pretty strange, since half of the time everything works perfectly. Saving the map and compiling after modifying stuff unrelated to doors randomly triggers the issue, so I've no idea what's going on.

Also, is there a difference between "Once" and "Clamp"?

While I'm at it, I've a smaller animation issue with chests. My chests are huge things made of two 16x16 tiles, and a lid in two parts, since it wasn't possible to make a properly centered 32*16 lid due to the way objects are set on the grid. My script works fine (but may do strange stuff like doors). Most of the time I can close or open the lid like a single item, except sometimes one part moves out of sync with the other, causing the lid to appear to be split in two parts.

Cheers!

I'm in the process of scripting various doors, curtains, and other similar objects, and I'm using this kind of script:

if self.property["open"] == true then
  play_animation(self, "close");
  set_entity_property(self, "open", false);
  modify_navigation("t_-6_-2_-1", "t_-7_-2_-1", 1);
  modify_navigation("t_-7_-4_-1", "t_-7_-3_-1", 3);
  modify_navigation("t_-7_-3_-1", "t_-7_-2_-1", 3)
else
  play_animation(self, "open");
  set_entity_property(self, "open", true);
  modify_navigation("t_-6_-2_-1", "t_-7_-2_-1", 3);
  modify_navigation("t_-7_-4_-1", "t_-7_-3_-1", 1);
  modify_navigation("t_-7_-3_-1", "t_-7_-2_-1", 1)
end

And while it works fine, apparently it forces the use of "pending" navigation every time I save instead of the "no interaction" navigation. It's not visible unless the script is closed and reloaded.

I'm currently scripting various objects in my map, including a large curtain set up in three different parts. When you interact with any of the three parts, the central part plays an empty frame, and the two side parts play frames with folded versions of the curtain, so it gives the illusion of a double curtain which opens in the middle. The script also changes the navigation paths under the central part to allow the player's passage. It works fine, I can open and close the curtain and go through when it's open, but some adjacent tiles behave strangely. For some reason, while the player can follow a straight line through the central curtain part, he can't go on several adjacent tiles, but nothing in the script is supposed to change their navigation path.

Here's the script:

if global.property["curtain_1_open"] == false then
  play_animation(entity["curtain_1c"], "empty");
  play_animation(entity["curtain_1l"], "open");
  play_animation(entity["curtain_1r"], "open");
  modify_navigation("g_curtain_1s", "g_curtain_1c", 0);
  modify_navigation("g_curtain_1c", "g_curtain_1n", 0);
  set_global_property("curtain_1_open", true)
else
  play_animation(entity["curtain_1c"], "closed");
  play_animation(entity["curtain_1l"], "closed");
  play_animation(entity["curtain_1r"], "closed");
  modify_navigation("g_curtain_1s", "g_curtain_1c", 2);
  modify_navigation("g_curtain_1c", "g_curtain_1n", 2);
  set_global_property("curtain_1_open", false)
end

I'll post an animated a bit later so it should make more sense. But basically, the problem is some tiles become non-walkable for no apparent reason (but they get walkable again if the curtain is closed).

I've been testing a few things in a different project (a possible tiny puzzle game experiment), and I'm utterly failing to launch an animation. I'd like to change the animation of the "panel_N" entity to "TopLeft" (which should display a smaller square at the top left corner of the main square), but no luck so far. I've tried to attach the script to an object, and to trigger the same script via a dialogue attached to a character.

I've added a message at the end of the script, and this message is displayed only in one case when in standard view, but is never triggered in first person view (apparently there's no interaction at all in this view). Not sure what's going on, maybe it's because of the incredibly tiny map? Or did I miss something obvious?

(and I think I've found another problem: adding quotes in a message hides the rest of the text).

Here's the project if you want to have a look: https://mega.nz/#!4VEQnKgR!l6boGSmOjbkUFpt42xFivngE54FdJQPXjMTmNv9NWu0

I've tried to change the avatar Y starting position, and while it works in the box, the script preview doesn't refresh. After saving the script and exporting the game, it seems nothing had changed in the script. So I restarted the application then tried to change the script directly, which, oddly enough, seems only possible using the right click and copy/paste. I can't type anything in the preview at the bottom of the screen, but I can copy and paste stuff. Yet saving the script after modifying it this way doesn't seem to actually save it either.
