Summary

You should know better than to talk to yourself. In this chapter, we learned how to create all kinds of ways to have conversations:

  • Using the Dialog Editor You can create dialogs easily by using the built-in dialog editor. You can create different conversation options and turn them on and off using option-on and option-off.
  • Mixing AGS Scripts and Dialog Scripts You can put regular AGS Scripts inside of Dialog Scripts by indenting them in.
  • Controlling dialogs with AGS Scripts You can control dialogs from any AGS Script by using dialog control functions like Start(), SetOptionState(), and GetOptionState().
  • Jumping between dialogs You can jump between dialogs using goto-dialog and goto-previous.
  • And, of course, the Text Parser AGS includes an easy-to-use text parser for making great text-based games.
