Introversion

Alright, so I've been having an odd issue that I couldn't find an answer for here on the forums. The Issue is that whenever I make Sepulveda, or whatever character I have chatting, say a couple lines of strings in a script, they say all the lines except the last. For example:


He'll say guardians_engineer_1, 2, and 3, but not 4.

If I missed something on the forums, or you have an answer, give me a link or respond because this is annoying, and I dont want to end up scripting dummy strings to make it work, when there's some other way to get it to function...

Do all of your files end with empty lines?

You mean like in my strings_default it would go:

Yes. Every file should end with an empty line. If a file does not end in an empty line, the last line will not be read. Also, what, exactly, is the script that you are calling? Please post a copy of that file. I might also be nice to see the appropriate portion of your strings_default.txt file.

Alright, the Script:


And the Strings (with the actual text cut out)

Right off, I don't see the problem. You might try adding a "WaitSay" command to the end of your script, and see if that helps. Also, is it not saying anything for the last line of dialog, or is it putting up a string not found error? What, exactly, is happening? Could you post a screenshot?

Well, the problem was that Sepulveda wouldn't read the last line of text. I just added a new level and added new scripts, and then you told me about the last line having to be an empty space, which seems to have worked. He does indeed say every line now. I've also placed in some WaitSay commands, just to be safe.

Well apparently the last line doesn't need to be empty necessarily.
You could put any old garbage you want on the last line, it's just it will be ignored.

This is usually a blank line because of this.
Theoretically you could like make an ASCII drawing of a man being chased by a shark on the last line and the game wouldn't care.

Yes. That is true. In fact, that is implied by what I wrote last year:

The file doesn't need to end in an empty line, but the last line will not be read, so there is no point in putting anything in the last line. You can fill it with random garbage, but why bother?
