  • Yes Hi CloudDealer when the person flip the phone the first layout stays locked as portrait but the game is going to be locked as landscape

  • I'll send you a project link once I have it set up.

  • Here, I'll share the project so you can look through it. I've only edited eFunctions & eGameRoom

    The room with the trashcans is testroom4

  • Like I said in my original response the picked instances get lost between functions. There's no point adding the condition to a function that already has it, the problem is with the functions that don't have it like the format dialogue function.

    I've added the condition as a sub-event to each function. What should I do next? It doesn't seem to be working. :p

    Like this?

  • I can't figure this out past this part. I need help, if someone could tell me what to do next, that mean everything.

  • I've messed around, and this seems to work so far.

  • Correction, I think I've figured it out! I'll keep you updated.

    The call already seems to include the NPCUID.. Would it be okay to add another call that calls the specific picked UID?

  • I am going to go on limb here and try to help.

    It's a little bit hard to follow what is going on, but I think what is happening is that the function NPCInteraction2 is not doing what you expect.

    Inside of it you are checking for an NPCID property of the NPCINTERACT family but the check is not against the instance of the family that was picked when the function was called. I will check with Ashley why is that, I have a feeling that is the expected behaviour, but I will ask him to be sure.

    So what ends up happening is that all that state for showing a dialogue is being set on the wrong instance.

    To get around that, I passed the UID of the picked instance in the call to NPCInteraction2 and inside of it I added an extra condition to Pick by comparison in addition to the NPCID condition. That way you can be sure that state is set in the correct instance.

    Something similar then happens in the call to FormatDialogue, so to get around that I added a few arguments.

    In the calls to DialogueLine, FormatDialogue and PickAnswer I pass in an additional argument with the IID of NPCINTERACT family. I did that so that I would be able to use that value in FormatDialogue to use the expressions NPCINTERACT(IID).itemname and NPCINTERACT(IID).interactname and ensure the function is using the correct instance values every time.

    NOTE that UID and IID are different things.

    All of this is quite hard to explain, but I think I covered everything.

    For the UID part, is this what you're asking me to do? I'll try and read some beginner documentation specifically on UIDs, but I don't really get what you mean--

  • Have the smaller ship spawn behind the big ship whilst the big ship is destroyed. And then have the smaller ship follow a similar/the same path.

  • You could probably figure it out with families. I've never experimented with this, so I have no idea. I hope my idea was helpful!

  • Look at Demonoire, it has a great example of a save system using functions and arrays.

  • What do you mean by this? When the person flips the phone?-- I'm confused.

  • Did you make those functions?

    The functions that are within the project? Those were copied from a tutorial. I read the tutorial, understood what was going on at a pretty good level, and copied.

    Otherwise, no I have not been able to make any new functions/parameters, since I can't seem to understand exactly what I'm supposed to do based on DiegoM's response.

    I was asking for screenshots so I could get a 'clearer' idea of what was going on. I've tried my own few methods based on what I could understand out of the message, watched a few tutorials, and I can't seem to get it to work myself. I'd need Diego to send some screenshots as examples.
