Multi-step monologues for NPCs?
 

Whilst playing that Halloween scenario, I'm sure that I saw a Kami that spoke in a multi-stage speech bubble, with "skip" and "quit" buttons in it. I can't see how to do this myself, with either dialogs for an NPC or "tasks" set by that NPC. Can anyone explain how to do that, please?

You can add various text bubbles by adding [break] in between sentences. Unfortunatly, it only apears that way in text bubbles, the around channel doesn't show the text segmented, so rather large NPC monologues will still spam the channel.

IIRC it's {break} with curly-pointy brackets.

Ah, I just had time to test that [break] didn't work before you told me it was {break}. Great - got that working now. Thanks!

Everything appearing in chat at the start, before the player has clicked through the steps, is a little annoying, but that isn't a big problem and I'm sure they'll fix it soon enough.

And to use colors in broadcast or item descriptions it's @{RGBA} if I remember correctly, with the color values ranging from 0 to F :)

kaetemi, grimjim,

Thank you for posting different flags (or whatever they're to be called in R2) for a few commands. I was wondering where did you two originally learn of these flags...i havent found any place listing them but i could just be lookin in the wrong place. But if theres somewhere that lists things like this then it would be really helpful. Thx ahead of time.

Can you explain this one a bit more... maybe an example :)

Re: Multi-step monologues for NPCs?
 

Well, I could find no reference in the scenarios to the @{RGBA} business, but I tested it out anyway and it seems to work fine. Works for broadcast or spoken dialog in the chat window but not for chat-bubbles.

[For those who aren't programmers, I'll explain it in detail]
Where R is the red hexadecimal value from 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F (Where 0 means no red and F is maxium red).
G is the green value 0-F
B is the blue value 0-F
A is the alpha (or transparency value) where 0 is invisible and F in fully opaque.

Example (I'll leave you to guess what it looks like! hehe!):
@{F00F}Red! @{0F0F}Green! @{00FF}Blue! @{888F}Grey! @{0FF8}Semi-transparent cyan @{FFFF}Back to normal solid white

Remember, if you are just making a single word or phrase coloured, then you need to use @{FFFF} to reset to normal text after that word.

Incidentally, the system doesn't care if you enter @{ffff} or @{FFFF}. Case is not important.
