Information

This script adds dialogue branches to my NPC script.

Description Setup Reviews Comments

The script comes in two different version. The simple one is just a two/three option message prompt that gives different strings depending on what you answer.

The advanced one allows:

Multiple tiers of dialogue branches
Recursive dialogue branches ("Would you like to hear what I said again?")
Running scripts
Giving items with a holdup animation
Triggering screen secrets
Warping Link
Playing random strings

Update 7/17/18: Added #HASTRIFORCE
Update 4/17/23: Fixed a typo where every control code was looking for #BRANCH instead of their own codes. Baffled as to how the script ever worked...

First there's a couple constants you need to set:

FONT_DIALOGUE_BRANCH: This is the font used by the dialogue branches. See FONT_ in std_constants.zh for the list.
C_FONT_DIALOGUE_BRANCH: This is the color used for the font

Next is the arguments for the two scripts. I'm gonna assume you know how to set up the NPCScript to call add-ons from that script's setup instructions.

DialogueBranch_Simple
This version only works on NPCScript_Simple because of the number of arguments, but it should be good enough for most basic applications.

D0: The string for the first option in the dialogue branch
D1: The string for the second option in the dialogue branch
D2: The string for the third option in the dialogue branch (set to 0 if no third option)
D3: The string for the first response in the dialogue branch
D4: The string for the second response in the dialogue branch
D5: The string for the third response in the dialogue branch (once again, optional)

DialogueBranch_Advanced
This version of the script can work on either version of the NPC script, but requires much more setup in the string editor itself.

D0: The string for the control string to run. See DialogueBranch_Advanced - Usage.txt for an explanation of what these are and how they're used.

Requires std.zh, ffcscript.zh, and DialogueBox.zh

This script is amazing. There is a little bit of a learning curve (at least for a newbie like me) but I've managed to create dynamic multi-layered experiences that I couldn't do any other way.

I absolutely love this script, it works perfectly for all the dialogue options of my dreams.

Quick question: How would I modify this script so it gets called when you use/pick up an item? I tried just changing it to an item script, and it works fine for the initial prompt, but doesn't seem to like getting to the branch part.
I'm using 2.53. thanks!

...the advanced version is working fine
...in the demo, both work perfect.
But in my quest, selecting opt1or 2 of the simple branch creates a loop, repeating the original npc message string
and opening the dialogue box ...again and again.

I, have a lil' problem with the DialogueBranch_Simple.
...it doesn't call the strings set to D3 + D4 (D5+D6 in the NPC_Script Simple arguments)
...instead it always repeats the first (beginning) string.
