Help in changing character portraits

[AnimeKA]

Hello everyone,

i only just recently started using AGS and I been through the tutorial and I already working on a short game for my project however I basically a noob when it comes to programming. My game is technically features characters with different expressions during conversation. I need to know how to change character portraits"example, when the conversation hits a certain sentence the main character portrait(different expression) will change"

You can insert e.g.
cEgo.SpeechView = 5;
whereever you want in the dialog. If you're using the standard dialog editor, remember to indent normal code with at least one space. Thus:

ego: How are you?
sidekick: My mother just died.
cEgo.SpeechView = [number of sad view];
ego: That's terrible!

For a large game, it might be wise to create custom functions for this so you don't have to remember which view is which, but I don't know if you find that too advanced at this point.

Tried it. Although it does make my Views a little messy but the command is simple and that's whats important. Thanks a lot.
