how to do when the message appears, after an event happens and another message appears a bit like a cinematic
I hope you understood to answer me very quickly ^^
Wow, even though I can't really use the battle system because of it not really showing up I am really impressed with how extensive the dialogue system is. This is all really great! Also is it possible to use the audio clips for the speech in my game?
So, would it be okay if I kind of cannibalize this project for use in a different one? I assume so but I was just wondering, of course I mean the code, obviously Undertale specific stuff is owned by toby , and your art is yours. So yeah. Also, any idea why the menu's disappear when I played it in Gamemaker Studio 2? Also also, I originally glossed over this because I mistook your user name to mean that this was somehow made with python, silly me. Nevermind the first part, I guess I should have read the description more closely.
Of course you can use the project, that's the purpose of its existence, to give people a head start building a system.
In regards to the menu thing, with no supporting information, it would be impossible for me to tell you why the menu disappeared. This was written in GM:S a few years back so there's no import support.
Ok, thanks for the response anyways, I am looking forward to making some cool projects with this. I would have thought that there would be more interest around this, frankly this is amazing. Thanks for all your hard work!
You never answered my reply before, so I'll put it here.
I really don't understand what you meant, but I just want it to change room after a dialogue finishes, what would be the exact code? I don't know much about ds_list
Hey, I wanted to ask a quick Question. I`ve been trying to make a begining screen and my own rooms but i cant find where the player is and how do i make him "Spawn" in a certain room, and quick question how do i make them randomly spawn in the world?
So, every time I try to talk to my custom character, it says this
___________________________________________ ############################################################################################ FATAL ERROR in action number 1 of Other Event: User Defined 0 for object TextBox:
trying to index a variable which is not an array at gml_Object_TextBox_UserEvent0_1 (line 5) - max_i = string_length(text[page]); ############################################################################################
Ah yes. Sorry about the rather stark lack of documentation. It was promised, but I have been doing spots of work on other projects.
Text must be passed as a string array instead of a string, with each entry in the array denoting one page. Even if you have only one page, you would still pass a single entry array.
Thusly, text = "String here"; would become text[0] = "String here";
Oh weird. There's supposed to be a script for that, but there isn't. This project is a mess when it comes to making things clear for people, gee. I'll just show you what the script is SUPPOSED to do.
Sequential events are handled by a ds_list contained within the object Event. Each event is composed of two entries in that list; the name of the script to execute and the arguments to pass to it (if there's more than one argument, they should be stored in an array).
So to add an event right after the NPC finishes their dialogue, you place this chunk of code after creating the text box:
Hey, could I use this as a base for the battle and dialogue engine in my fangame? I'll mention you of course
The reason I'd like to use it is because despite having the rooms ready, the menus, projectiles, and dialogue boxes, are a bit confusing for me right now
But seriously, do you think I could help with sprites? I am not very good at coding but I believe I am pretty good at drawing sprites, and if you don't like them, you could always just not include them.

Hey, did you fix the issue with the items not appearing? if you did hit me up
I made no progress on that whatsoever and I still have no idea why the us isn’t showing up, sorry.
does somewone know how to make the battle system pls upload a good video on yt and say the name of the video
-thx
I think purple and yellow harts will be easy, so will orange attacks(move through it)
But the hard part will be SAVEing.
Anyways, Awesome engine!
After a few days ill post it, anyone can download it, STILL

BEST THING EVER! THERES EVEN NEW FEATURES THAT ARENT EVEN IN THE REAL GAME! But wait...
*head explodes*
Where's the scrolling???
hOW DO YOU MAKE IT??? Id like center player
EDIT: Well it was already there!
if instance_exists(Player)
{
camera_x = Player.x - camera_width / 2;
camera_y = Player.y - camera_height / 2;
}
that always works, dosent it?
*magiclly, my head rebuit*
its nice
Really like this custom engine you've made here. Will you be adding a menu system soon?
One thing I'm confused about: Is there a way to create a text box after another text box is finished?
You never answered my reply before, so I'll put it here.
I really don't understand what you meant, but I just want it to change room after a dialogue finishes, what would be the exact code? I don't know much about ds_list
Actually nevermind. I figured out how to do it on my own :D
I just had to do some research on ds_list_add
me too ;3 This could REALLY use a bullet hell generator
Is it OK if I use this as a base for my fangame? I have basically everything planned out, but I'm having difficulty with the coding.
By the way, can you make an attack template
Thanks :D
Hey, I wanted to ask a quick Question. I`ve been trying to make a begining screen and my own rooms but i cant find where the player is and how do i make him "Spawn" in a certain room, and quick question how do i make them randomly spawn in the world?
uhh.. If you want it to be the first room in the game you need to place obj_IntroGuy
EDIT: Dont forget to delete the object in other rooms! Otherwise bad things will happen!
EDIT EDIT: It does nothing?????? Further investigation needed.
EDIT EDIT EDIT: WAIT NOPE! Thats not it! you need to name the room room_intro
EDIT EDIT EDIT EDIT: Forget it.
Could you (or somebody who understands all this) post a tutorial on youtube for how to do this?
So, every time I try to talk to my custom character, it says this

what does this mean?
Ah yes. Sorry about the rather stark lack of documentation. It was promised, but I have been doing spots of work on other projects.

Thusly, text = "String here"; would become text[0] = "String here";
I also had it happen once, but, one question, what would the full line look like then?
How would I have an event happen right after the NPC finishes their dialogue? I've tried various things but couldn't seem to find one that worked.
Oh weird. There's supposed to be a script for that, but there isn't. This project is a mess when it comes to making things clear for people, gee. I'll just show you what the script is SUPPOSED to do.
Sequential events are handled by a ds_list contained within the object Event. Each event is composed of two entries in that list; the name of the script to execute and the arguments to pass to it (if there's more than one argument, they should be stored in an array).So to add an event right after the NPC finishes their dialogue, you place this chunk of code after creating the text box:
with (Event) {
ds_list_add(event_list, SCRIPT_NAME_GOES_HERE, ARGUMENT_GOES_HERE);
}
Once the NPC is finished talking, Event will run the next item in that list, which will be the event you just added.
So if I wanted to make it delete an object, what exactly would I do?

Thanks
Certainly, go ahead and use it.
Hopefully it'll integrate well with what you already have.
Thanks
a very interesting thing, I would like to see the continuation! (I try to understand how it works in GM:S, but it is not clear for now)
HueHue.
(ALSO THAT SAGARCELLA SPRITE IS MAKING ME JEALOUS WHAT)
(also, you may want to add talking sprites for your overworld characters, just something you may want to do)
Okay, everything is working fine now, thanks.
But seriously, do you think I could help with sprites? I am not very good at coding but I believe I am pretty good at drawing sprites, and if you don't like them, you could always just not include them.
