"Doesn't work" -phrases

[j-Hed]

Hi everyone!

2 Questions...

1) I have come this far of making my character say/think some phrases when the object/hotspot

isn't interactable:

 
// script for hotspot4: Look at hotspot
Random(4);
DisplayThought(EGO, "&3 No I wouldn't.");
DisplayThought(EGO, "&4 Nope.");
DisplayThought(EGO, "&5 SIGH...");
DisplayThought(EGO, "&6 I don't need that.");  
DisplayThought(EGO, "&7 I don't need to.");

BUT, now he thinks all of the phrases after each other, I wan't him to say one phrase at a time randomly. I tried "else" and "if" so on but I never got it to work.

2) I am trying to make the player character say these "doesn't work"- phrases when an

object/hotspot hasn't got any interaction.
I am very bad at scripting but I thought it would be put under "repeadedly execute" in

global script or something.


THank you all!

I get a little iffy in this area ...

1) How about using if statements and return;
2) Search for unhandled event in the help file?

Might that work?

for 1

int rand = Random(4);
if (rand == 1) DisplayThought(EGO, "&3 No I wouldn't.");
else if (rand == 2) DisplayThought(EGO, "&4 Nope.");
else if (rand == 3) DisplayThought(EGO, "&5 SIGH...");
else if (rand == 4) DisplayThought(EGO, "&6 I don't need that.");  
else DisplayThought(EGO, "&7 I don't need to.");

For the no interaction just put the script in the anyclick on hotspot/object interaction.

You know, this is covered in the "unhandled_event" function completely. Just check the Manual for it.

When you write:

"else DisplayThought(EGO, "&7 I don't need to.");"

what does &7 mean? Is it the dialog number?

It's related to the speech sound file played, see
