SUGGESTION: eEventStartDialog and eEventEndDialog

[monkey0506]

I did some digging around and back in 2005 CJ said:

I was thinking about some sort of on_event_always function, which could be called for events like StartDialog, ENdDialog, StartDisplaySpeech, EndDisplaySpeech, etc and let you handle these things better in the script. That might be the cleanest long-term solution to this sort of thing.

There's also a related tracker entry. However, I wasn't able to find a proper thread for this suggestion anywhere, so here it is!

Those who are using custom dialog rendering (like myself) can already use dialog_options_get_dimensions as a workaround for eEventStartDialog. Those who are just using the built-in system might find the same functionality useful though.

Particularly the reason I'm suggesting this is the same as those who requested it back in 2005, to be able to hide/restore GUIs during dialogs. Beyond that I would also find it useful to be able to track the currently running dialog. I could work around this by simply duplicating code for every single dialog, but that's exactly the type of thing I'm trying to avoid.

Blimey, has it really been that long? Thanks for the reminder, yes this is still something that would be useful to add.
