That's what I did. I put a suspend box advance command at the top of the script (I've posted only an extract) and I've made an extra test adding the "suspend box" command before the "show text box" command.
And guest what? It didn't worked 
So I think that my script "keypresswhilepeaking" won't be that useless after all...
Thanks for answering so quickly!

Or it might even be causing the problems. I dunno. Have you tried a run-through without it? |

Where did you put the suspend box command?
Try:
| Code: | script, talkwithD, begin #extract of talkwithD
case(9) do, begin
set npc direction (9, (MyDirection+2,mod,4))
suspend box advance
show text box (78)
wait for key (key:d)
advance text box
wait(1)
resume box advance
end |

Right now it is. Look very carefully at where you're calling it. The script paused while it waits for the d key to continue (and since you don't pause the text box advance before displaying it, I'm assuming it will still go away with a spacebar press...). Therefore, when you try to prevent any keyboard input besides the D key, the text box is already gone! Also, it looks like you set the on keypress script to mykeypresswhilespeaking in the mykeypresswhilespeaking, which means that after you successfully talk with d once, you won't be able to do it again, since each keypress simply calls the mykeypresswhilespeaking from then on. (Unless script 21 is another script, in which case it looks like mykeypresswhilespeaking won't work at all). |

Are we sure that "wait for key" can accept any value, and then wait for that specific key? In the plotdictionary it only says that it can accept the playable keys, or "any key".
I knew this was going to be a pain. I'm not sure what is wrong. The best I can offer right now is getting rid of the line
| Code: | | set on keypress script (21 ) |
inside of the case blocks in your TalkWithD script. I think there is a deeper underlying problem somewhere though; I'll have to get back to you on it.
EDIT: Actually, can you go ahead and post the full script for TalkWithD? That might help us. Furthermore, I just wanted to reiterate that this will only work as long as the text being called with D is only one box long (no "use box # next" usage in custom for text boxes called by D)

that is correct. "wait for key" can only accept a very small selection of arguments. The command you want instead is wait for scancode |

|

I've made some more tests and I managed to prevent the space bar from being efficient and from making disapearing the text box. The only little thing that left if I first press the space bar and then d the text box don't disappear.
After I pressed the space bar, I have to press D twice (whereas it should be one) to make disappear the text box.
I think it is due to the fact that the script has ended. (The second time I pressD the script launch and everything is fine: the text box disappear).
May be I should make reset the script but if I add a line with "talkwithD" in it I'm afraid the script overloads. So what should I put instead of wait (1)?
| Code: |
script, talkwithD, begin
suspend player
suspend npcs
variable (MyDirection, Xcheck, Ycheck)
MyDirection:= hero direction (me)
Xcheck:= heroX (me)
Ycheck:= heroY (me)
switch (hero direction (me)) do, begin
case (north) do ( Ycheck -= 1)
case (south) do ( Ycheck += 1)
case (left) do ( Xcheck -= 1)
case (right) do ( Xcheck += 1)
end
switch (get NPC ID (NPC at spot (Xcheck, Ycheck)) ) do, begin
case(2) do , begin
set npc direction (2,(MyDirection+2,mod,4))
suspend box advance
show text box (61)
wait for key (key:d)
if (key is pressed (key:d)==true) then, begin
advance text box
wait(1)
resume box advance
end, else, begin #if it is not D/ the space bar then, begin...
wait (1)
end
end #end for case
case(9) do , begin
set npc direction (9,(MyDirection+2,mod,4))
suspend box advance
show text box (72)
wait for key (key:d)
if (key is pressed (key:d)==true) then, begin
advance text box
wait(1)
resume box advance
end, else, begin #if it is not D/ the space bar then, begin...
wait (1)
end
end #end for case
end #end of plotscript

As always thanks so much to all of you for keeping on helping and advicing me!

Replace the commands
| Code: | | wait for key (key:d) |
with
| Code: | | wait for scancode (key:d) |
(See James Paige's post)
Also, using this setup, you can safely get rid of the if checks regarding key is pressed. Basically, your code inside a switch case should look like:
| Code: | case(2) do , begin
set npc direction (2,(MyDirection+2,mod,4))
suspend box advance
show text box (61)
wait for scancode (key:d)
advance text box
wait(1)
resume box advance
end #end for case |
Also, what happened to the global variable for disactivating MyKeyPressed? This is most likely VERY important to have if we want this whole waiting for D thing to work properly. See my post way back where I talk about getting rid of UndoD and moving your
code.

|
|
I've tried to compile my game and it appeared that the command was unknown. I've replaced my plotscr.hsd by the most recent plotscr.hsd but the command is still unknow.
Does anybody knows why??
Good luck in making you games all!

Strange, I don't know what to say about that. The best I can offer is a reminder that according to the link Paige gave us, you need to include not only plotscr, but also scancode.hsi. Other than that, you'll have to wait for one of the developers here, I'm afraid. Wait for scancode is not documented in the stable plotdictionary.

plotscr.hsd is actually a plain text file. You can open it up and look at it.
If you are really using the latest version of scancode.hsd you should be able to see a line that looks something like this:
| Code: |
244,waitforscancode,1,0 #waits for a specific scancode
|
If it is not there, then your plotscr.hsd is not really the newest. |

|

Ok! I've add the line myself and the game compiles. But when I test it and press on D I still can use (whereas I should not) the space bar to make disappear the text.
This is due to the fact that I've deleted the line ( see my post of the Wed Apr 04, 2007 for more details.)

And then Msw188 has posted
Could somoene remind me of where to put in my code the line that turn true and the one that turn false the disactive global variable so that my script will work properly.
Thanks in advance for the help!

The purpose of the disactive variable is to stop MyKeyPressed from working. We don't want MyKeyPressed working while TalkWithD is working, so we put the line
at the VERY top of TalkWithD and the line
at the VERY bottom of TalkWithD. Then your MyKeyPressed script should look like:
| Code: | script, MyKeyPressed, begin
if(disactive==false),then
begin
#all of your MyKeyPressed script, including all suspend
#and resume commands. NOTHING should be outside
#of this if block of code.
end #end of disactive if
end #end of script |
Then as long as all of your case blocks of code in TalkWithD are exactly like the example I posted four or five posts ago, I'm pretty sure this should work. If it does not work this time, make sure to post both full scripts MyKeyPressed and TalkWithD next time, as we'll probably need them to fix any further problems.

| Just make sure that then in the block msw posted above has a "(" or a ",begin" right after it, or you'll go through hell trying to compile it. |

Oops. Right after posting this, I will go back and edit Uncommon's begin into my post, but I also wanted to post this so no one gets confused about a begin being there, but what is Uncommon talking about...?
