Scripting 2 Player Dialogue #559801 13/12/14 04:01 AM

OP JecklynHyde member Joined: Oct 2014 Location: Hogwarts	Has anyone has made any progress adding 2-player dialog to their game? I'll keep trying to figure it out on my own, but if anyone has any info or insight, let me know. Thanks! #1) How do I make 2 NPCs talk back-and-forth to one another like the drunk guards, Junius and Bibinus? From what I can tell, you need to open the Keyword Editor and create a thread such as [Greeting]. You use [Add Text] to add more dialog boxes to that dialog thread, then open each box individually and assign a [Speaker] to each. (Each dialog box has a speaker slot, with up to 4 speakers) However, I can't figure out how to add character names to the speaker box. #2) How do I make Player 1 and Player 2 talk to each other?

NPCs use the "add text" or the trees of the nodes to speak - you were on the right track here. You ONLY assign speaker tabs for NPCs - if you use the line of script I have above, NPC1 would be speaker 1, NPC2 would be speaker 2. You don't have to do anything for the player - he will speak the root of the node when you "Push" them into the chat. Just learned the multiple NPC conversation myself. I haven't tried to make a two player conversation yet. Can't help ya there for the time being. Last edited by Burgee; 13/12/14 07:20 AM.

OP JecklynHyde member Joined: Oct 2014 Location: Hogwarts	That worked, thanks! Do you have any idea how to set different dialogs depending on whether certain characters are alive or not? For example, I want to have a three speaker dialog if all the characters are still alive, but I want a two player dialog to fire if only two are alive. I tried setting a global event when the character died then setting a condition on the dialog but it didn't work: IF CharacterKilledByCharacter(CHARACTER_Karl,_Player) THEN GlobalEventSet("KarlDead",1); IF DialogStartRequested(CHARACTER_Karin, _Player) GlobalSetEvent("KarlDead",0) THEN DialogStartThreeSpeakerDialog("Karin",CHARACTER_Karin,CHARACTER_Karl,_Player); IF DialogStartRequested(CHARACTER_Karin, _Player) GlobalSetEvent("KarlDead",1) THEN DialogStartTwoSpeakerDialog("Karin2",CHARACTER_Karin,_Player); ERRORS: [syntax error "GlobalSetEvent" unexpected] [rule condition syntax] My Website My Twitter "Lost Isles" mod on Steam or Nexus

You should be using IF DialogStartRequested(CHARACTER_Karin, _Player) AND CharacterIsDead(CHARACTER_Karl,1) THEN DialogStartTwoSpeakerDialog("Karin2",CHARACTER_Karin,_Player); IF DialogStartRequested(CHARACTER_Karin, _Player) AND CharacterIsDead(CHARACTER_Karl,0) THEN DialogStartThreeSpeakerDialog("Karin",CHARACTER_Karin,CHARACTER_Karl,_Player); Last edited by Burgee; 14/12/14 05:30 AM.
