{VX}need help with npc dialog

[seipher187]

I need a detailed explaination on how to make npc's say random dialog ,using the variables and common event,i dont get how to make it random,it keeps saying all the text instead of one random one.

I don't know a thing about vx, but if it's anything like XP do this.

Action Button Being Pressed

Set Variable Random 1... 5(Name it random 1-5)
Conditional Branch random 1-5
Conditional Branch Random 1-5 equal 1
Blah Blah
else
Conditional Branch Random 1-5 equal 2
Blah Blah
else
Conditional Branch Random 1-5 equal 3
Blah Blah
else
Conditional Branch Random 1-5 equal 4
Blah Blah
else
Conditional Branch Random 1-5 equal 5
Blah Blah
else
else

Should work with VX... maybe.

Yes it works like that on vx
But put all in separate conditional branches like:

Conditional Branch Random 1-5 equal 1
Blah Blah

else

branch end

Conditional Branch Random 1-5 equal 2
Blah Blah

else

Branch end

that way i know it works

Im sorry but,i just started playing VX so these terms your using are a bit hard to understand.i still cant seem to get the random chat down,and i should mention im using these on multiple NPC's,so im using common events to be called randomly.but i cant get the game to call a random common event.

 

[kire]

Do you want to call random common events or just want to call one, with random answers?

 

[seipher187]

i want to call one common with alot of random dialog,so it can be use on multiple npc's

 

[kire]

Do like we've done but put like random 1 - 50 ( It will be very tough but if you want multiple NPC with a lot of random dialog, I think it's the best) and put a bit of dialog in all

 

[Woody Cuco]

You dont need to use else

 

[seipher187]

i cant get the way you said to work.

 

[kire]

You dont need to use else

Yeah but it comes with the conditional branch so...

 

[kire]

seipher, do you want me to send you a demo?
Or post it here?

 

[seipher187]

i dont know how ou could send it,post it here

Download the demo and see what I've done and say what you think

 

[seipher187]

awesome its exactly what i needed

 

[kire]

I'm happy to help

 

[seipher187]

so if i wanted 100 i put 1-100 in varible control and add 100 conditional branch's.?

 

[kire]

Yeah like that but that's a hell of a work

 

[seipher187]

ya it is but the point is to save alot of dialog entry later on,im going to do 5 common events with 20 dialog in each,for alot of npc's to use throughout the game,and thanks alot for being patient and helping i appriciate it :D

 

[kire]

No problem
You can continuasly (not sure if is spelled right) change the common event for eache NPC like 1st NPC = 1st Common event, 2nd NPC = 2nd common event, that way the characters don't say all the same :P
Again no problem :thumb:

 

[seipher187]

one more question,if i had them ask you say...how are you,could i add something in the else part like a yes or no question?
