I'm helping Malonfan with his Heroes Labyrinth game, we're having a problem with the text engine. Here's the error:

Code: [Select]
ERROR in
action number 1
of Alarm Event for alarm 0
for object Malon:

In script dialog_box:
Error in code at line 53:
     if (global.firsttimedrawbox=0) {

at position 15: Unknown variable firsttimedrawbox

We're using the Minish Cap text engine by mit I believe. Could this be a compatibility issue since it was a GMD and we're using GM6/7?

From what I can see, you're checking "global.firsttimedrawbox" before you set it to anything. Do you set it to 0 (or whatever) in a create event or anything?

I don't think so, from the only object in the original engine the only code is:
Code: [Select]
alarm[0] = room_speedAnd it works fine from the original engine, but for some reason I think something is interfering when merged.

I wouldn't recommend using that old engine. First, it wasn't really written by me, it was just a modification of Therabidwombat's one.

I made a newer, simpler text engine here which you could change the graphics of: http://www.kousougames.co.uk/data/downloads/counter.php?file=TextEngine

Yeah I figured it'd have to do with it being "old" :P, but I'll give this one a try in a bit.
