Need help with some dialogue (1 Viewer)

[Bobert216]

So I am trying to write some dialogue where there will be a few lines where the girl screams. However after she screams a few times (perhaps 3) she stops using those lines and resorts to the other lines as well as the acceptance lines, which were unavailable until this point.

What I am asking is how can this be done? I figure it probably has something to do with variables but I am not 100% sure how to do it.

Could someone give me some advice/suggestions how to do it?

Your best bet of getting help is to post the dialogue so someone familiar can actually find the problem and then tell you how you can fix it. All I can do is say maybe try the dialogue checker it will at least find errors.

No, you see the problem isn't the dialogue. The problem is coming up with a way to make this dialogue.

A possibility, with two screams lines :

start:"[scream]" {"set":{"scream":3}}

scream:"[scream]SCREAM1 ББББББББББББББББ" {"check":{"scream":">0"},"style":"thought"}
scream:"[scream]SCREAM2 ББББББББББББББББ" {"check":{"scream":">0"},"style":"thought"}
scream:"STOP" {"check":{"scream":0}}

scream:"STOP" {"check":{"scream":0}}

Thank you. This helps a lot. Now does it matter where I put this in the dialogue or is anywhere fine?

Anywhere's fine. Here's how I'd do it:

vigorous/general:"[scream]"{"style":"thought","check":{"scream":"<3"},"set":{"scream":"+1"}}
vigorous/general:"[accept]"{"style":"thought","check":{"scream":">2"}}

scream:"Stop!"{"style":"thought"}
scream:"Aahhh!"{"style":"thought"}
accept:"Well okay then."{"style":"thought"}
accept:"Nice day we're having."{"style":"thought"}

Make sure you put "scream":0 in the initial variables.

Initial variables? :-\

Sorry this is my first time using variables when constructing dialogue.

You should read Pim's dialogue guide, it has everything in there you need to know to write a dialogue.

If you don't understand something, go download someone else's dialogue and look for examples of it. Best way of figuring it all out imo.

Weewillie's, mine and a couple others use most of the concepts that are in Pim's guide if you need to find examples.

Anyways, here's what you want:

initial_settings:{"scream":0}

If you want to add more variables, it'd look like this:

initial_settings:{"scream":0,"variable2":0,"variable3":0,"variable4":0}
