I am using V2.72 and have gotten to the dialog part. What I am trying to acheive is:

A simple dialog between the player and a character. The tutorial explains to put:

@1
ego: "Hello. How are you?"
narrator: The man looks you in the eye.
otherman: ...
otherman: "I'm fine."
return

as an example. I put this in the Script Editor and saved the script.

The tutorial I am looking at, does not explain anything further that is any help. Nor does it explain:

*What the "option names" (with Show/Say beside them) have to do with what i've done in the script editor*

So, after I put something such as the following in the script editor:

// dialog script file
@S  // BECKS: Hey where have you been.
@1  // B: I was visiting Chuck's grave.
@2  // B: I was walking behind a tree.

What next? I have saved the above script, and am basically stuck at this point.

I apologize if I am repeating an often asked question, but I did a Search of the forum, and only found more technical questions...


Any help is appreciated. Thank you
