Question on Dialogue as per Grimjim Scenario

Post by gillest »

There seem to be two different possibility of handling-creating a dialouge.

I am currently using "timer"option: second sentence to start 3, 6... seconds after first sentence.

On Jyudas Scenario, at the opening , the speech bulb had an option for the player to control the sentence sequence: arrow allowing to go to next sentence..

I haven't found how to script that yet, any hint?

Hi gillest,

It's already mentioned several times in this forum. Its {break}

Been looking everywhere, can't find where its mentioned :(
U just add {break} at the end of each dialogue section?

Hello.{break}That was an opening sentence.{break}That wasn't.{break}You can split them up into clickable sections like this.{break}Off you go!

hehe ok,
silly me was putting it at the end of the sentence, not at the beginning .
Will give it a try later, cos it seems you put everything in same dialogue: i was creating more than one line per dialogue edition..
Thanks :)

If you are going to add a {break} command you should remember to add spaces after the break. The reason for this is that in the chat window it will appear as one block of text, so "Hello.{break}That" will appear as "Hello.That".

So in the example above:

Hello.{break} That was an opening sentence.{break} That wasn't.{break} You can split them up into clickable sections like this.{break} Off you go!

If you are used to press the AltGr key to reach the { and } try it by pressing the right AltGr and right Ctrl key to reach the specific characters.

Also, it seems that they blocked typing those characters in the property window, so you can't use colors in mission broadcast and plotitem description or breaks in mission dialogs anymore. It still does work just fine in the dialog component.
