Random Frustrations >_<

Post by Mer`Zikain »

Have you ever had a large conversation file with conditional responses for both player and npc and have it lose player responses when testing it? The responses are IN the conversation file and the requirements to see them are there (usually they're responses that dont' even require anything to display them), but when you go through the options and go back to a main set from a sub set some are missing. Like the whole thing didn't load the second time or something. What the crap is up with that? :P

Is it a known problem and is there a workaround?

While I wait for responses here I'm going to try something silly and add an "always display" script to the choices that don't need any verification to display, maybe I'll trick it. *shrugs* :/

ok, so the problem i had was a ridiculous "Duh!" type thing. smacked the forehead and moved on.

But I'm still having a problem figuring out how in the heck you accomplished the subraces on BSK1. People are tellin me to edit the item property costs in the 2da's but I've had absolutely no luck at all doing that. When creating items in the toolset their costs are affected but in the module they aren't. What's the deal? Is that really how you accomplished it or was it some other method. I'm goin crazy here >_<

Put an empty skin on the player and add properties after it is equipped.

No, since it checks on equip only.

I guess the equip command takes longer than the add property function. After I added a delay command function to the add properties it works. I get a "you cannot use that item" message but it's equiped and the properties are in effect. Any idea why I'm getting that message and how to get rid of it?

How long did you delay it? Not that I think it would matter

Try setting the skin to plot before adding the properties. If that doesn't work, do a recursive check that makes sure that the item is equipped before adding properties.
