Problem with text (again) in Blades of Avernum Editor

Well, I think that message_dialog has two parameters, you should leave the second one as "" if you are not going to add a second string. In addition you are forgetting the quotes (") at the end of the last two states.

Hope that helps.

The main reason is because the editor is not user friendly. It almost like programming. In Blades of Exile you used an interface that made things easier.

Thanks, the cutscene is done now. However, the only problem is that it only works for a party with 4 characters. What is the best way to check which characters are present? Also, is there a way to know which one is the character leading the party because if character 0 is dead then there would be a bug in my script.

I think that what he meant was this:

9 - (3 + 3) = 9 - 6 = 3

Negative three minus negative three is negative 6.

Yeah I realised that what was happening is that when the party entered the town it was placed in a way that the character 0 doesn't need to step on the special encounter.

I am having trouble with another part of the cutscene, I want a band of brigands to show up and I have used the following code:

text_bubble_on_char(i,"");
i = random_party_member();
text_bubble_on_char(i,"Huh?");
force_instant_terrain_redraw();
pause(15);

put_effect_on_char(6,10,1,0);
put_effect_on_char(7,10,1,0);
put_effect_on_char(8,10,1,0);
put_effect_on_char(9,10,1,0);
put_effect_on_char(10,10,1,0);
force_instant_terrain_redraw();
play_sound(61);
activate_hidden_group(2);
pause(20);
set_total_visibility(1);
force_view_center(15,14);
text_bubble_on_char(i,"");
i = random_party_member();
text_bubble_on_char(i,"Uh oh");
force_instant_terrain_redraw();
pause(15);
However, the brigands appear first and then the teleport effect takes place.

I want the party to walk to the cordinate x15 y10, but since they are coming from many directions I just don't know which are going to be their initial coordinates, so what I am trying first is to march the party to coordinate x15 y7 (the special is called from a rectangle of 8*1 so the initial coordinate "y" will always be 7) and then making them walk to the coordinate x15 y10. Nevertheless I am having trouble with the script.

beginstate 10;
x = char_loc_x(0);
While (x != 15) {
If (x > 15) {
march_party(x - 1,7);
force_instant_terrain_redraw();
pause(5);
x = x - 1;
}
If (x < 15) {
march_party(x + 1,7);
force_instant_terrain_redraw();
pause(5);
x = x + 1;
}
}
march_party(15,8);
force_instant_terrain_redraw();
pause(5);
march_party(15,9);
force_instant_terrain_redraw();
pause(5);
march_party(15,10);
force_instant_terrain_redraw();
pause(5);


break;
My problems are the following

a) I don't know why, but the code is just called when I step into the special encounter for a second time.

b) After the cut scene ends my first character ends up in the place where he was before the cutscene started.

I've seen that in Blades of Avernum scenarios there are dialogues where you have to give your opinion about something and that question is just asked once. May someone tell me how is this done or is there a place where I can find a tutorial on dialogue?

Thanks

Don't talk about the Northern Crater please, it was by FAR the worse part of FF7 IMO and can only be beaten by the sensation of arriving at Ultimecia Castle and discovering that in FF8 monsters level up at the same time than you and thanks to not using Attack+ and stats like that on the GFs the ending is going to be tough. Well I am going to shut up because the discussion shouldn't be about Final Fantasy.

Sorry it was a typo it's can't instead of can.
