Disable entire dialog

[Addnan]

I´m new to AGS and working on my first game.

I have a problem with dialog scripting.
The player gets 5 options during dialog1, all leading to dialog2 using the "goto-dialog" command.
So far it works fine.
But when my character talks to the same person again I want dialog2 to start instead of dialog1.

Hope my my bad english makes sence.


It´s probably a simple solution for this, but I couldnt find it.

all you need is a variable

Code: ags

bool talked=false;

Code: ags

function cCharX_Talk() {
if (talked) ddialog2.Start(); 
if (!talked) ddialog1.Start();
}

There's also this:

Btw, I'd write that:

Code: ags

function cCharX_Talk() {
  if (!talked) {
    talked = true;
    ddialog1.Start();
  }
  else ddialog2.Start();
}

Ah crap! I forgot to set the boolean.

Code: ags

function cCharX_Talk() {
  if (Game.DoOnceOnly("ifailed"))    ddialog1.Start();
    else    ddialog2.Start();
  }

That may be the best approach. Well, pretty much what Khris said.
