Hi guys!
I've been prototyping my game for some time now, and the last feature I want to implement is a fine dialogue system. I used Rich's very simple design to load my strings into a Hash Table as a start, but I could go a bit further because there seems to be a problem with the Timeline object
Rich's Dialogue method:
So...
I was trying to use this method along with a timeline object to create a time progressing (unskippable for the moment) talking.
I wanted to use parameter 1 to indicate which character and expression - "npc1angry", for example - and parameter 2 to indicate the key at the hash table - the line NPC would say.
However, if I try to use:
Always --> DialogText: Set Text to HashTable(Timeline.Param(2))
...I get a "O" (zero) at output.
* I tried to use "str()" on different parts of the that line, but nothing happened.
On another test, I used:
On period "period1" begin --> Set Text to HashTable(Timeline.Param(2))
And I still got ZERO
Do you think this is some kind of bug? What could be wrong here?
BTW, using " HashTable("Line1") " returns the text perfectly, so this is probably something with the Timeline.
Thanks for the help!
