Trying to combine something for dialogue. (1 Viewer)

[Bobert216]

So I am writing some unique dialogue where I want the girl to scream a few times and then after that amount is met she stops. Now I already know how to do this but I am not sure how to combine it with the ability (Dialogue 01) that only certain dialogue will be used in certain positions.

For example I want it so that if the woman is still able to scream and HIM is about to precum with her vaginally (using Animtool) she will scream something like: "NO! I DON'T WANT TO GET PREGNANT!"

Now there is a way of doing this (as seen in Dialogue 02) but my problem is I am not sure how to combine the two dialogues.

Dialogue 01:

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.

So now I am trying to do this again but I only want it to apply to certain positions.

Dialogue 02:

Spoiler

It should be a simple substitution like so:

general:"[gen*atv_position*]"
gen0:"This is an oral line."
gen3:"This line is for anal only."

Any help with this will be appreciated. ;D

pre_cum:"NO! I DON'T WANT TO GET PREGNANT!" {"check":{"atv_position":2, "scream":"<3"}}

Another method would be to use DialogueActions's variable arithmetic module to write a compound if statement with a single result (that is, an if statement that returns true if multiple things are true).

pre_cum:"[precumscream*( scream < 3 ) && ( atv_position == 2 )*]" {"style":"Him"}
precumscream0:"[pre_cum]" {"style":"Him"}
precumscream1:"[precumscream1*da.canSpeakLineTrigger*]" {"style":"Him"}
precumscream10:"conditions met, but she can't speak due to ingame reasons" {"style":"Him"}
precumscream11:"NO! I DON'T WANT TO GET PREGNANT!"

It's more lines and an extra mod dependency, so I understand if that's not really what you're looking for - I wouldn't recommend this method in this specific case either - but if you need more complex requirements, then you'll quickly require the use of DialogueActions's variable arithmetic.

This might actually help. Thank you. :D

Hmm...

I hadn't seen this before.

da.canSpeakLineTrigger

Is that from a recent DA or has it been in there for a while?

This seems really handy for when I have a string of dialogues where I want Her to say some lines but could use this trigger to work around them if She can't talk.

I wonder what other clever things are in DA that I've missed...

[EDIT] Ah - I see it was added way back in 3.04...
