Examining is the most complex part of an investigation sequence. An examining container features 4 different hybrid instructions: AllExamined, AlreadyExamined, PointDefault and Point.
This hybrid instruction contains one parameter which is a regular instruction. It will be executed once the player has examined all spots, defined by a Point instruction.
Example:
1: AllExamined:{PlayFrame:[1]};
This hybrid instruction contains one parameter which is a regular instruction. It will be executed when the player clicks on the “Examine” button after all spots, defined by a Point instruction, have already been examined.
Example:
1: AlreadyExamined:{PlayFrame:[2]};
This hybrid instruction contains one parameter which is a regular instruction. It will be executed when the player examines a spot on the upper screen that is not defined by a Point Instruction.
Example:
1: PointDefault:{PlayFrame:[3]};
This is the main part of an examination. A point is a spot on the upper screen the player has to click on to invoke some action. The Point instruction is built using the following scheme:
Point:{X|Y|OFFSET|FIRST DISCOVER|SECOND DISCOVER};
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| X | Number | The position on the x-axis. |
| Y | Number | The position on the y-axis. |
| OFFSET | Number | The amount of pixels the cursor is allowed to be off from the defined position. |
| FIRST DISCOVER | Regular Instruction | Gets executed the first time this point was discovered. |
| SECOND DISCOVER | Regular Instruction | Gets executed every subsequent time this point was clicked on. |
Example:
1: Point:{24|48|10|PlayFrame:["DiscoverKnife"]|PlayFrame:["RediscoverKnife]};
There can be as many Point Instructions as you want.
