entry line only once

Hi, haven't found this in a thread so...

When my main character first talks to a certain character, I want her to say something on only that first conversation. So when she first meets this guy she says, "Hey you, what's your problem." But then the next time the player clicks on that charcter to talk, it will just go to the dialogue topics.

I though maybe there would be a turnoption off for an entry point line, but i haven't seen one. Will i have to do something more complex? and if so, how?

have this as the only option that is on at first, then the character will auto-say this. at the end of the option toggle this one off and the rest on.

Ah, of course. Thanks!

Also, if you only want an option to be used only once and to never reappear for that dialog (even if talking with the same character more than once), after that dialog option is finished (for example, Option 7 just finished), you could put:

option-off-forever 7

option-off does that.

option-off just means it CANT be turned on by option-on, probably for if theres like, more than 1 way of turning it on (for the player that is)

Kool. Thanks Hotspot, that's good info to know.

Right, but there's no option off for entry point dialogue...i guess that was my question...

but Hotspot's suggestion should work fine. Thanks guys.

Yes, it has been suggested before, but not implemented (yet?).
