Yet another plugin conversion: Here's my OtherRoom script module for AGS v2.7, inspired by the OtherRoom plugin by Steve McCrea.

This script module simplifies the process of enabling/disabling various things in rooms other than the one the player is currently in. This is especially handy for beginners.

Features:

 * Turn on, off and toggle hotspots and regions in other rooms
 * Turn on and off walkable areas in other rooms
 * Turn on, off, fade, toggle and position objects in other rooms
 * Get current status of things in other rooms

Advantages to the OtherRoom plugin:

 + Cross-platform compatibility
 + Additional commands (object fading, get current status)
 + Extensible & customizable

I still consider it a beta version since there may still be things I overlooked.
As with the CharacterControl module, I'm essentially looking for beta-testers, so please let me know if you find any problems.

Download here (Should work with AGS v2.70, v2.71 and v2.72)

This download includes the script module and documentation.

Excellent! I'll be using this...

This is kind of an old thread, hope it's still okay to inform you of a bug:

When I switch rooms using SetPlayerCharacter, objects and regions (probably hotspots and walkable areas too) seem to use the status stored for the previous room. Looks like the module doesn't recognize the room change.

It would be great if you could fix this. I'd love to use this cool module for my game, but this one bug is preventing me from doing so.

Thanks~

Thank you very much, kind sir! 

I bet you put the disable code of room 8 in "player enters room (before/after fade in)" so the hotspot will be disabled EVERYTIME you enter the room (even after it's re-enabled).

Move the disable code to "player enters room for the first time" instead.

I 've tried this module and I have to say that is awesome.
Just I was looking for... I'll use to my game.

Thank Strazer.. for this cool ideas..

And definitely I will put a Credit for this Module
