Ok heres the deal. I got the program a lil while ago. Now im on my first GOOD game which is turning out really good. There is one problem though. (well more like 50 but only 1 i need help with at this moment) My intro right now is a little too long after to play it to much so i was wondering if any one has a code that will allow "If space bar key is pressed then go directly to..." this one part of the intro that will show the title. Please help! i think the command GOTO would work but i dont know where to make it Go To! lol.
Please Help!!!!!!

Sincerely GenTekZ

if during your intro you are testing keys then just look for spacekey(), and if hit jump to the next portion of the intro. Oh and don't use goto, use gosub

Ok, go to darkbasic. Open your source code. Put your cursor to the code that you want it to go to.

press Enter key twice. Type this: "Spacek:"
Now locate the place where you want to check if spacekey was entered, press Enter key twice and type "if spacekey()=1 then goto Spacek"

Give a man a label and he'll goto today:

Tell him to read the damn manual and he'll goto for the rest of his life.

----------

Spacek:
today:
AK47:

These are all labels and any non-reserved keyword can be used as a label. You have to do a little planning and place a label at your start location. At the place in your code where you have determined that your player has died, add a goto statement indicating your start location.

Since were on the subject of GOTO, one of my college professors told the worst joke I've ever heard. It was a C class, but it still relates here.....

He created a function called HADES and wanted to skip to it. So he coded:



I was the only person in the class laughing. He thought I was laughing with him though, so it was kind of embarassing.

Anyway..... Not to hijack the thread

I don't think you can play flash files in DBC. I know you can play AVI files though.

ok. scratch that idea for now then. Lets move on and before we go any further i just want to say thanks for all you helping me out.

Now... i want to make it so that i can be able to interact to other people (computer people that is). What do you think would be the best route to go. Should it be somthing like if i get this close they will automatically say somthing or would pressing a button near them work better althouh it may take more coding?

And how would it look for the one you think i should do?
