Dialog Extension / How to map buttons for choosing between dialog options?

« on: November 15, 2018, 11:36:31 am »

I'm using the latest version of Stencyl and did the manual install for the dialog extension. After running some tests I discovered that for some reason when I get an NPC to engage in dialogue, the player can't move the cursor between options. Selection works fine but because of this, only the first option can be chosen when the options window shows up. In the Dialog Extension Sample game, the arrow keys are used to do this, but in my game, none of the keys toggles options.

I looked through Data Structures > Default Style > Dialog Options and there's no way I can find to map buttons to this function.

Ask a Question / Need help making a dialog behavior!

« on: May 31, 2016, 10:10:51 pm »

I'm running the latest version of Stencyl on my Macbook Pro, and I'm trying to make a platformer game where you can press space to initiate a dialog sequence. I've been using Stencyl on and off for a while ever since I moved on from Scratch, and I also know a bit of Python if that gives any sort of helpful idea as to my coding experience. So I made a behavior for the dialog sequence which is to be attached to the NPC or sign actors, and that's the script attached. For some reason, when I run the game I get no error messages, but Flash freezes when I press the command to initiate. I've gone through the whole thing many times and I'm still unable to identify the problem. What am I missing?

Ask a Question / How could I go about creating a JPRG-esque battle sequence?

Games like Final Fantasy (Earthbound/Mother is what I have in mind though) have turn-based battle systems that look like this:



How could I go about creating a system like that in Stencyl? I do have some experience

I have an actor who's created in the scene after a certain point, but I can't use it to set it to an attribute to get it's x and y. Is there some sort of work-around?

I don't have any sound assets in my game, but when I try to run it on Flash, it brings up an error message.

"Warning: Could not embed "Assets/music/sound-50.mp3" (Flash only supports Layer-III MP3 files, but file is Layer2)"

Dialog Extension / Where can I edit which keys switch between options?

« on: December 12, 2015, 03:51:11 pm »

I started with a modified version of the sample dialog game, but for some reason, using the arrow keys doesn't switch between options when I have a list of options come up. How can I fix this?

Resolved Questions / Stencyl won't let me test the game or scenes

« on: October 04, 2015, 08:13:18 am »

I'm trying to make a boating game using Stencyl on my macbook pro running Yosemite and whenever I try to test a scene or the game, it comes up with an error message which tells me to post my log to the forums. Hopefully somebody can help! 

I read somewhere else that you have to have xcode installed, so I downloaded that to my computer, it's in my applications folder, and the same error message persists.
