Changing colour of dialog speech

[PsychicHeart]

hey,
how can i do the above?
Please help.

SetTalkingColor(EGO, 5);
(For V2.7+ it's cEGO.SpeechColor=5; )

You know, you should read more carefully the manual and the BFAQ before asking such a basic question.

sorry i couldn't find it in the manual.

Next time you have a problem like this:

Open up the manual, expand the "Scripting" category, and start reading from the first item, go through every subcategory, and end reading in the last entry of the "Scripting" category. If you still can't find what you're looking for, go to the search part of the manual and type in something very simple discribing your problem, like "talking color" for example.

You are clearly just not looking hard enough...

There's a search function in the manual.

Maybe he want a different  color of fonts in dialog GUI..(when you engage in dialog with someone and you can select few replays..)

[Ishmael]

There's a search function in the forums.

i still dont get it. where i'm i suppose to write that code?
in the dialog? in charachters properties?

When do you want the colour to change ..?

If you want to change the colour for all the way through the game, just change the Character's 'Talking Color:' property. (The dialogue options use the talking colour of the character that's, well, talking - which is explained in the manual).
Otherwise, call that command at the point you want the colour to change. (Note that to do that DURING a dialogue, you'll need to use run-script and dialog_request.)

It's changing the colour in the dialogue GUI that's got me, and preferably the font too. Can anyone help?

The color of the font in the dialogue GUI is the same as the player character's talking color, as defined in the "characters' tab. You can change the font under the "Fonts" tab by importing a new (truetype) font over font 1 and 2.
