Problem with picture while delsplaying words

[bboy_ayz]

Hey, i have a problem. I made a game who wants to be a millionare, and I want to make the following:

While the words are gettin typed, i mean the question, i was a face to desplay, i made the face, i made the face talk as well, i mean it moves the mouth. The problem is when i put the script of the talking face, in the questions. 1) first the face displayes 2) then the qusetion deisplays 3) the face blocks the questions (but i knwo how to fix it, with locating)

Thank you alot

Would you please be more specific? Maybe some code would help.
You may also want to look up Draw.Text.

[DIIST]

You can also try Font.Draw(). You can choose you own custom fonts and sizes.

[Paul]

Is there actually a difference between Draw.Text and Font.Draw? I've used them interchangeably.

Alright, this is my script lets say

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%This is the question%%%%%%%%%
put "The 100 dollar question is easy"
put "1. What is the capital city of Israel"
put ""
delay (200)
put "a)Toronto"
delay (200)
put "b)London"
delay (200)
put "c)Jerusalem"
delay (200)
put "d)Russia"
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%This is the face%%%%%%%%%%%
var eyemove : int := 5
var mouth, mouth2 : int := 0


for i : 1..35

Processes.

[codemage]

Avoid processes like the plague.
Procedures would make things easier, though.

If you throw the next string to be said at a procedure, you can go through the sentence one letter at a time - like so:

(This is without procedures - so only the first string is done as an example).

code:

View.Set("offscreenonly") %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%This is the face%%%%%%%%%%% var eyemove : int := 5 var mouth, mouth2 : int := 0 var tempstring : string %this takes the next string to be spoken. tempstring := "The 100 dollar question is easy" for i : 1 .. length(tempstring)     View.Update     put tempstring(i)..     Draw.FillOval (250, 370, 95, 100, 91)     Draw.Oval (250, 370, 95, 100, black)     %draw the hair     drawline (200, 480, 200, 455, black)     drawline (190, 480, 190, 448, black)     drawline (180, 480, 180, 439, black)     drawline (210, 480, 210, 460, black)     drawline (220, 480, 220, 465, black)     drawline (230, 480, 230, 470, black)     drawline (240, 480, 240, 470, black)     drawline (250, 480, 250, 470, black)     drawline (260, 480, 260, 470, black)     drawline (270, 480, 270, 469, black)     drawline (280, 480, 280, 465, black)     drawline (290, 480, 290, 460, black)     drawline (300, 480, 300, 455, black)     drawline (310, 480, 310, 448, black)     %draws the eyes     drawfilloval (210, 390, 15, 15, white)     drawfilloval (290, 390, 15, 15, white)     drawoval (210, 390, 15, 15, black)     drawoval (290, 390, 15, 15, black)     drawfilloval (210, 390, 5, 12, green)     drawfilloval (290, 390, 5, 12, green)     %draws the mouth     %randomize     randint (mouth, 1, 20)     randint (mouth2, 1, 15)     delay (100)     mouth := mouth + mouth2     drawfilloval (240, 310, mouth, mouth2, black)     if mouth > 50 then         mouth := mouth - 5     end if end for
