Magnificent Ornk Aran Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Questions of this type have probably been asked hundreds of times before, but here goes: Code: begintalkscript;variables;begintalknode 1; state = -1; condition = 1; nextstate = 1; question="Mister Spoiler"; personality = 3; action = INTRO; text1 = "The man looks up."; text2 = "_Hi._"; text5 = "Hey again."; The creature who this node should be attached to has personality #3. The above code is inside the proper filename ({town}dlg.txt). However, upon entering the scenario, I find that the creature "seems not to want to talk" - apparently, this node can't be found. What am I missing here? Edit: [/code], not [/condition]. So in a way, I found the problem: I'm tired as hell. But what the concrete issue is, I haven't found out.

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 You have to set the creature's third memory cell to whatever talk node their conversation starts with. So in this case, memory cell 3 should be 1. Dikiyoba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in this case, memory cell 3 should be 1. Dikiyoba. Ouch. I knew I was missing something regarding the creature::node assignment, since the manual said the "personality" attribute was cosmetic. In other news, I'm extremely glad Jeff did not create PHP. But this also solves my problem of needing two entry points for this guy, depending on an SDF. I'll just change the memory cell value. Wait... that's possible, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Yes. You can use this from a town script: Code: set_creature_memory_cell(short which_char_or_group,short which_cell,short new_value); and this from inside a creature script Code: set_memory_cell(short which_cell,short new_value); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Lazarus. Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 The docs say that personality is purely cosmetic, but actually it does serve a purpose. In windows BoA (my version at least) intro texts depend on the character's personality. So every character who uses an intro needs to have it's own personality (even different towns can't have the same one.) Apparently this isn't an issue on Macs, but you still should set personalitys so that windows players don't have this problem (Or at least so I don't have this problem. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unflappable Drayk Jewels Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Aran is working on a scenario?!?!!! My interest has been peaked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Then head on over to Shadow Vale and find out more about it! (Or, if you're too lazy to look for it, just click here .) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm pretty sure that you mean the personality set via the editor. The personality spot in the dialog script itself means nothing.

Unflappable Drayk Lazarus. Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Yes, I did. I hadn't known about it until I realised that all the intros in FB were screwed up. I'd set them in Dilecia, but I don't know why I'd bothered since I thought they had no purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
