loop help

[paddy irishman]

how do you run a loop during a conversation  

[Ishmael]

Was? Dialog_request? In manual?

Do you mean a character animation loop?
If so, in the dialog script editor put run-script X (check help file) and place the animation in the dialog_request function in the global script.

What I still haven't figured out with the dialog_request and the "X" parameter in the run-script is if you can you run different scripts from one dialog. That means, e.g. putting run-script 1 and run script 2 on two different places in the dialog. How would you call the scripts sepparately in the dialog request? I suppose making two dialog request containing the diffferent parameters won"t work...
Sorry, don't mean to hijack any posts here, this is just a side question..

use an if statement like this:

function dialog_request (dm) {

if (dm==1) {
//whatever loop you want to have
}
if (dm==2) {
//whatever
}

}

So that in the dialog script you can use run-script X with any number as X and each will do something else.

Oh, this is awesome, I really can use that. Great! Thanks!

Check the Beginners' FAQ for the complete explanation of run-script.

btw, "dm" can be anything. I meant to write dr, dunno why it came out dm
