Dialogue choice's not appearing correctly

Post » Tue Jan 12, 2010 7:42 am

So in my quest, the npc ask you if you have a book. You then answer yes, or no. there are 3 outcomes
no: you dont have the book
yes:you don't have the book
yes:he takes the book

This is how I have it set up:
Choice, "Yes, here it is.", 1, "No, not yet", 2

Then both the yes's also have it set for item->bookid-> 1/0 depending on which one.
Now, my problem is that neither of the yes's show up, only the no. I am completely confused and don't know why it's happening. Any help appreciated!

Answers to Choices have to be above the question. Dialog is read from top of the list to the bottom, and the first one that is true gets displayed. So you have to make sure they are ordered in a manner that will function correctly.
You can move selected dialog with the left/right arrows on your keyboard. (instead of re-writing all the dialog again)


There might be other factors at work, but this is a common mistake that is made with Choices.

They are above it, the two yes are on top, then the no, then the question itself. I don't know why it is doing this.

So what happens when you select Yes? Are you saying you get the No result instead, or does it fall through back to the question?

Nevermind, it seemed to have fixed itself. But what WAS happening was that the yes options weren't showing up at all. But it's fixed now. yay.
