Hi, I'd like to always have the sierra style dialog positioned at the bottom of the screen. The only way I've found to do this is the SayAt(...) function, and pass it some globally defined coordinates. But this requires my dialog files to be filled with function calls rather than the nice looking dialog script syntax.
@S
cEgo.SayAt(dialog_x, dialog_y, dialog_width, "Say something.");
cAlfred.SayAt(dialog_x, dialog_y, dialog_width, "Give a response.");
return
Is there a nicer way to do this? Thanks.
EDIT: I just discovered "Custom dialog options rendering" in the manual. I'm going to do some reading now...
It's "Custom Dialog OPTIONS Rendering", as in, you can customize the way dialog options are displayed.
Unfortunately, there's no straightforward way to customize .Say commands.
If you did replace the built in function, you'd still have to call it in every dialog line; what you're doing is the only way I'm afraid.
