To use Merlin on eBay

To use Merlin on eBay

 

Just add the code (below) to the bottom of the HTML for your eBay advert to get the same

script as the one you saw on my advert.

 

For example - to change the words, do this -

 

 

Merlin.speak("Hi, I'm Merlin the Wizard");

 

He says the words within the "" - just change them to your own like this -

 

Merlin.speak("Your words here");

 

 

 

HERE IS THE CODE

 

<object id="wolfi" classid="CLSID:D45FD31B-5C6E-11D1-9EC1-00C04FD7081F" width="32" height="32">

LoadReq = wolfi.Characters.Load(CharID, CharACS);

return(true);

}

var MerlinID;

Merlin = wolfi.Characters.Character(MerlinID);

Merlin.MoveTo(500,300);

Merlin's Other Movements Coding

 

 

SHOW: This will make Merlin appear on the screen.

 

Merlin.Show(0);

 

HIDE: This makes Merlin go away.

 

Merlin.Hide(0);

 

SHOW FAST: Merlin appears instantly

 

Merlin.Show(1);

 

HIDE FAST: Merlin goes away instantly

 

Merlin.Hide(1);

 

 

MOVE: You can enter the X & Y coordinates. Remember, that not

everyone uses the same screen resolution, so you may have some that can't see

your character. For this reason, we added Move Options like, LeftX, CenterY,

and BottomX. These determine the size of the screen first, then move the character

based on screen size, not absolute x & y positions.

 

X==> Right, Center and Left

Y==> Top, Center and Bottom

 

Example : Merlin.MoveTo(MerlinLeftX,MerlinCenterY);

 

 

 

 

IMPORTANT NOTE:

 

Some animations are used for more involved routines, where Merlin

is waiting for a reply. These are called "Looping" Animations. You CAN NOT

use Looping animations in your scripts. If you do, it will get to that animation

and seem to stop.

In fact it is waiting for a reply that it will never receive. We tried to figure

a way to tell which animations were looping and which ones were not through code, but

were unable to find a way. So YOU must be aware of this limitation and try to

avoid using these types, as they never go back to a rest position.

They just keep doing the same thing over and over and over.

 

 

SPEAK: Whatever you have in the text box above, will be spoken by your Merlin.

 

Merlin.Speak("Welcome, my name is merlin");

 

 

THINK: Whatever you have in the text box will appear in a balloon (like speak)

but only words shown, no voice.

 

Merlin.Think("Welcome, my name is merlin");

 

WHISPER: Same as Speak but in a muffled voice.

 

Merlin.Speak("\Chr="Whisper"\Welcome, my name is merlin");

 

SIZE: You can only have one size option per script. I am not exactly sure why they

don't allow you to change it, but it does not seem to do so. His normal size;

 

Merlin.Width = 128;

Merlin.Height = 128;

 

You can change him fatter or thinner by changing number. If you want to reduce his height

by 50%, then you enter 64 (128x50%=64)

for many years. While some applications have used it, most web functions have

never really been explored. Therefore the commands are written with american

spelling.
