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.

It doesn't look like "Advance Dialog" is ever set to true, preventing the loop at the bottom from terminating.

Aaaahhh I see now, I'll switch some things around and see if it works

EDIT: I'm not sure how to fix it

I have a tutorial serie on how to yse the extension. Have you seen it? With simple behaviors you will never eb able to get all the tools as the extension.

Cool! I'll look into it

Figuring out the dialog extension seems like it would take longer than fixing this behavior.

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

Ask a Question / How do I get the X and Y of a created actor?

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'm not really sure how, but the problem fixed itself...? All I've done since yesterday was restart my computer.

Ask a Question / I'm getting a sound-related error, but my game doesn't have any sounds yet

« on: December 13, 2015, 11:08:45 am »

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)"

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?

Okay I ended up getting it to work by downloading the newest XCode and setting it up! Problem solved

So I looked through that log and CTL+F'd  "error", and it appears as though I'm missing the /developer path. After some googling around it seems like older versions of XCode use that and newer versions don't, but I'm pretty sure you have to have an older OS than Yosemite to use the older versions of XCode though, so should I download a newer version and see what happens? Or is there a different problem?

Is this one any different? :/

I click "test game" in the top right corner, then it produces an error and I hit "generate logs" and this is what it produces

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.
