Title: How do you delete a character or dialog topic?
Post by: on Sat 20/12/2003 00:58:43
I would like to know how to simply delete (permenantly) a dialog topic (or character). I do not mean simply hiding it, but let's say I accidently made a dialog topic, and I want to remove it. There is no 'delete' button for me to see anywhere, I also checked the manual but could not find a solution to this simple problem.

Thanks.

you can create a character over top of the old one, or rewrite over a dialog topic, but there is no way to delete it. we know you probably want a clean station to work with, but if you created too many, then youre stuck with it, unless you want to redo the game entirely and just dont make that extra char or dialog.
but just because you made them, doesnt mean you have to use them

You've got to be kidding me! :'( :'(
Well my main problem is, let's say I want to make 'sierra style' speech, where the player doesn't pick the topics. I.e. there is only 1 topic so the game automatically picks it. But if I already have 2, how can I sort of 'disable' the other one (if I can't delete it)? I can't just untick 'show' can I?

[EDIT]
Also, has anyone suggested to make such a simple but useful feature yet? I'm very surprised to see that this program doesn't have it. It 's not like this program just came out after all.  :-\

i'm confused as to what you want to do with the dialog but if you want to not show a dialog just untick show and it won't show up at all

if you do not have any more dialog options besides one, it will automatically go to that last one
