Script that checks availability for dialogue

[Seamhainn]

Hello!

 

I copied this more or less from the Script, Source to check for availabilty for a dialogue line. Unfortunately it does not work. What is wrong here?

 

int StartingConditional() {
int iResult;
iResult = (GetGlobalNumber("DAN_JEDI_PLOT") == 7);
return iResult;
}

 

Thanks for any help!

Test if this script works.

 

int StartingConditional() {
 int nResumeTalk=GetGlobalNumber("DAN_JEDI_PLOT");
 return nResumeTalk == 7;
}

[Seamhainn]

It works!

 

Last question: how can I insure that the line is ALSO only spoken once?

 

If that problem is solved the Garrum and Tar'eelok Restoration is done (I hope)!

 

Thanks and take care

I think you'd have to use the k_con_talkedto script

No, unfortunately I can't use it, as the pc might or might not have talked to the npc before.

[Marius Fett]

You should still be able to use it...

 

Just attatch it to a node that says welcome back or something...

[Seamhainn]

No, that will not work. Tar'eelok has - umong other lines - a line if the PC saved Juhani (and another if the PC killed Juhani). Both end the dialogue.

 

The script that checks for the availabilities are:

 

int StartingConditional() {
int iResult;
iResult = (GetGlobalNumber("DAN_JUHANI_PLOT") == 2);
return iResult;
}

 

and

 

int StartingConditional() {
int iResult;
iResult = (GetGlobalNumber("DAN_JUHANI_PLOT") == 3);
return iResult;
}

 

Both work perfectly well, but both also end the dialogue and make the other dialogue nodes which follow unavailable. So I want that the check also secures that the dialogue line in question only is said once and with another conversation initiated the following dialogue nodes are available.

 

EDIT: I know that is normally handled with a GlobalBoolean, but I don't know how that is scripted...

 

EDIT2: I just found a Boolean called DAN_TAREEJ_DONE which the developers created for that specific purpuse. Is there a possibility if the Boolean is used anywhere else in the game?

[sekan]

This is the script that the game uses on beyala dialog

 

 
//:: k_pdan_juhani01
/*
   Checks to see if DAN_BELAYAJ_DONE is FALSE (meaning
   she has not mentioned Juhani before) and that
   DAN_JUHANI_PLOT is 3 (meaning that Juhani has been
   saved). This conversation will not repeat as
   DAN_BELAYAJ_DONE is set to TRUE.
*/

#include "k_inc_debug"

int StartingConditional()
{
   int iResult;

   iResult = ((GetGlobalBoolean("DAN_BELAYAJ_DONE") == FALSE) && (GetGlobalNumber("DAN_JUHANI_PLOT") == 3));
   if (iResult)
       SetGlobalBoolean("DAN_BELAYAJ_DONE", TRUE);

   return iResult;
}

 

 

So there is two options we have. We use a old Boolean from taris althought i don't now how to reset Boolean as the Booleans from taris may already have been set the true or we make a new Boolean this could althought conflict with other mods.

 

However the script would look like these:

 

#include "k_inc_debug"

int StartingConditional()
{
   int iResult;

   iResult = ((GetGlobalBoolean("tag_of_boolean") == FALSE) && (GetGlobalNumber("DAN_JUHANI_PLOT") == 3));
   if (iResult)
       SetGlobalBoolean("tag_of_boolean", TRUE);

   return iResult;
}

 

If player saved Jhuani

 

 

#include "k_inc_debug"

int StartingConditional()
{
   int iResult;

   iResult = ((GetGlobalBoolean("tag_of_boolean") == FALSE) && (GetGlobalNumber("DAN_JUHANI_PLOT") == 2));
   if (iResult)
       SetGlobalBoolean("tag_of_boolean", TRUE);

   return iResult;
}

 

If player killed jhuani

You can also create your own boolean variables in the Globals 2da file.

Can i quote myself ?

 

or we make a new Boolean this could althought conflict with other mods.

[Seamhainn]

I solved the problem (see my post above) as the developers seemed to have created the Boolean already :-) .

 

I'll send the .mod file to sekan for testing now...
