Changing Dialogue Times

[Rivahl]

Well, I've been testing out my Dark Order Flagship module, and a lot of the dialogue just lasts for way too long. To the point where it gets annoying. Can someone tell me how I can either set it so that it's possible to "skip it" by clicking or simply reduce the time? Thanks.

I know this is off topic. But how did you get a new area ingame??? If thats what you mean then lets see some screenies of it.

[Rivahl]

That's what I mean, but no screenshots yet.

thats interesting. Im not interested in screenshots so much as Im interested in how you did it. If you've found out a way to get new areas in the game then I must know as that would mean the Kotor AE team can get some new area's ingame. BTW, check your private messenges.

Adding new areas (no new models) in the game is not difficult: just check doom_dealer' tutorial. If you want to make these areas accessible without using the cheat code, just attach the following script somewhere to a convo or create a dialog with an object to be teleported to the new area :

 

 
void main() 
{
StartNewModule("my_module"));
}

use the same method to go back to where you where.

I know how to do that. I thought he meant he made new models for the area. Would a area be considered a simple model. hehe

Back on topic: there is a Skippable flag in the main struct. Set it equal to 1. (In DLGEdit, it's under General Properties.)

Thanks, TK. But I have one more question. Is there a simple way to make it so that characters who have dialogue you don't reply to (where it just pops up, you know?) have a variety of things that they are able to say? I tried to simply set it so that there were multiple starting entries, but that didn't seem to work. :/

 

Thanks again,

You can do this by adding blank entrys to the reply list

i.e. You put -1 in, and then just press enter past what you want your character to say, this dialogue will autmoaticall fire but it wont say or do anything, you only need to make one of these and if you link each entry to that blank reply and so forth u should get a continual dialogue.

 

e.g.

You have entrys:

A

B

and C

and you want them to be in a continous order, A,B,C

 

you make the reply (we'll call it reply 1)

 

so you put A, B, C into your entry list, and 1 into your reply list

 

now link

A ---> 1 ---> B ---> 1 ---> C

 

this will make a continous dialogue

Thanks DoomDealer. I answered that same question yesterday.

You still have to set an Entry and Reply List.

per example, Entry 0 points to Reply 0 (just leave the text field blank in the Reply List)

the Entry 1 -->Reply 1, etc...

 

Then, In the Starting List,you will have to set a list where the Entry Index will point to each of the entries and in the Script filed you will have to reference to a conditional script that will check for certain conditions. In this example, the NPC will speak a certain entry if the Global for the Manaan plot is set at 4.

Example:

 

int StartingConditional()
{
   int iResult;

   iResult = (GetGlobalNumber("MAN_PLANET_PLOT") == 4);

   return iResult;
}
