Cyclic conversations without lots of links

Post by VoodooDetective »

I have many conversations that allow you to say the same thing repeatedly. I quickly realized this requires me to make many many links backwards. If I want to be able to have many nodes link back to the same many decisions, would it be best to have an decision node that has a false condition that does a passthrough?

So if all four decisions link back, to the same LINK NODE, that's four links instead of the 16. Sorry the pictures is misleading. I meant it would be 16 if all four of those decisions had responses that needed to link back to the four decisions.

Oh I'm dumb! This is exactly what the "group" checkbox is for. Sorry for the post.

If you keep answering your own questions, I won't have anything to do. ;)

(I actually have plenty to do getting version 2.2.5 ready. It's a fairly big release with some good performance enhancements to the Dialogue Editor.)
