Author	Topic: Dialogue Problems
Pyrulen Warrior Member # 6846	written Saturday, March 11 2006 13:51 Profile #0 This post is not so much centred on problems with dialogue itself, but on how to create several different dialogues in the same town for multiple characters. I have already given all talking npcs their own personality and used personality = x; on each dialogue node, so then why does it start with node 1 for every character, even their personality number does not correspond? EDIT: Never mind, I just forgot to assign the node numbers to the memory cells. Moderators, delete this topic at will.

Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Saturday, March 11 2006 15:27 Profile Homepage #1 Just so you know, the "personality" field doesn't actually seem to do anything at all. As near as we can tell, it only exists to help the designer keep track of who each dialogue node belongs to.

I haven't looked into it, but maybe you could use it to make everyone in a certain range of personalities become hostile, or some other effect. All you would need is some call to check personalities, if one exists. -------------------- I'm not as think as you drunk I am, occifer. Posts: 1509 \| Registered: Tuesday, January 10 2006 08:00
*i The Establishment Member # 6	written Saturday, March 11 2006 16:42 Profile #3 I believe the personality field is used with things like the INTRO text, but not a lot else. -------------------- Your flower power is no match for my glower power!

Then again, you might be able to do something with SDFs for each character on this. -------------------- "Build a man a fire, and he´ll be warm for a day; set a man on fire, and he´ll be warm for the rest of his life."

Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Saturday, March 11 2006 23:31 Profile Homepage #6 There was a call, though I can't remember what it was, in which the personality was necesary. It had nothing to do with dialogue, though. When I'll have time I'll search for it. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape. Give us your drek!

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, March 12 2006 07:09 Profile Homepage #7 Well, current_personality involves the personality, obviously. But if that's not the one you mean, then perhaps you are thinking of the character ID, not the personality. That plays into a few calls. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens. Smoo: Get ready to face the walls!

Thralni Master Member # 5977	written Sunday, March 12 2006 07:46 Profile Homepage #8 Yes, that was the one. What is the character ID for actually. I can't remember using it even once. Although I can look it up myself, actually. -------------------- Play and rate my scenarios: Where the rivers meet View my upcoming scenario: The Nephil Search: Escape. Give us your drek!

The calls character_in_party and remove_char_from_party will refer to this character ID. And there we have it. -------------------- "Build a man a fire, and he´ll be warm for a day; set a man on fire, and he´ll be warm for the rest of his life."
