Title: Trouble with Dialog
Post by: on Sat 01/05/2004 15:46:47
Alright, so I recently got into Ags, and found it to be an excellent resource. The manual helped me solve just about all my problems, until I got to scripting conversations. I read all the instructions for scripting conversations, but I can't seem to get it right.

My problem is this: Every time I script a conversation, either my character gets no response to anything he says (leaving him talking to himself) or all the responses I script happen the minute the dialog begins, rather than after my character talks.

I can't even exit the conversation, because when I put stop in the script, it either doesn't work, or it stops the conversation before it even starts, leaving me with no conversation.

From what I've found in the database and FAQs, there's very little help with scripting conversations, so not many people must have this problem. Can anyone help me? It would help if someone could show me how the dialog scipting page should look  for a simple conversation. Thanks  :D

The manual does discribe how to script conversations... if you tell us what you've scripted so far, we could maybe correct if for you, for future reference also...

Maek sure you put

return

after all the responses if you want it to go back... that way it won't go through all of them.
