Guest Guest_Khamon Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Heya, Simple problem here. Well, it seems as though it should be simple, but for the life of me I can't figure it out. Just how DO you make it so an NPC says a block of text with the option to "Continue" underneith it, which then goes to another block of text? I've tried things in the result box like: Continue "Continue" Choice, "Continue" ..but nothing seems to work. Part of the problem, I'm sure, is that I don't know where to put the next block of text I want displayed. Currently I have three responces in a row and was hopping that the "Continue" would jump to the next one. But, that's obviously wrong. The NPC says the first responce and nothing more. Anyways, if anyone could lend me a hand I'd greatly appreciate it. :unsure: Thanks,Khamon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThetaOrionis01 Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 You need to add a number as well to allow the game to identify the choice. The correct form in results is: Choice "Continue" 1 Then, in the line above, put the rest of your dialogue, and in the conditions options selectFunction Choice = 1 Make sure when you assign a number to the choice yo pick one you haven't already used in that topic for that NPC ID.

Guest Guest_Khamon Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 Thanks for the replies. :) I've tried what you suggested, but my NPC continues to repeat the first block of text over and over again. I'll explain what I did, perhaps I'm just not reading this correctly. First Responce Line, blah blah.. In the results I typed Choice "Continue" 1 Second Responce Line. blah blah.. In the conditions I added Function Choice = 1In the results I typed Choice "Continue" 2 Third Responce Line, blah blah.. In the conditions I added Function Choice = 2In the results I added a journal entry I must have an error in there somewhere. As far as I can tell, though, it's done in the manner of the suggestions above. :( Thanks again for the help,Khamon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingFox Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 The only thing that I believe could be the problem would be that you write in the second and third sections In the results I typed Choice "Continue" 2 and In the conditions I added Function Choice = 2In the results I added a journal entry Instead of typing Choice "Continue" 2 in the results, try Choice "Continue" 1 instead. Otherwise, I believe the program thinks that Continue is the second choice in a set of one, which, of course, is impossible. In the third set of dialogue, change Function Choice = 2 to Function Choice = 1 to correspond to the previous change. I'm not quite sure about this since I'm not adavanced at dialogue; This may or may not be correct, but I would try it and see if it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest_Khamon Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 Thanks for the suggestion, but I've tried that. I get the same repeated loop of the first responce line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted July 30, 2003 Share Posted July 30, 2003 No, Choice "Continue" 1 and then in the next response Choice "Continue" 2 are correct - each choice selects a different response. The only thing I can think of is that you have put the responses in the wrong order. The editor reads the list from the top down, so the first response your NPC gives you - the one with the result Choice "Continue" 1 must be at the bottom of the list. The next response - function choice = 1 - goes above that, the next one above that one and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
