Title: Customizing The Dialogue interface
Post by: on Fri 18/07/2003 19:17:28
Can anyone tell me how I can change the look of the dialogue thing? I want to add a graphic and resize the little black box that the options appear in. Can I just make a GUI and tell it to display the options in there?      I also would like the responses to appear in a textbox instead of over the character's head. Much obliged

In the game options screen, there is a checkbox titled "Dialogue options on GUI ___". Make a GUI for your options to appear in and check the box, filling in the corresponding GUI number.

Hope that helps,
Thunder

The options are appearing in the GUI, but anything said appears above a character's head. Surely there is a way the speech can appear inside the GUI instead. Any pointers?

In the game options you could set the speech style: Sierra-style w/background

Then set the character's talking view to a transparent sprite (unless you want an animation next to the dialog box)

you can make any gui for the speech (tick the Text Window box) and use:

game.speech_text_gui=14; // you obviously set the correct gui number


Hope this helps
