Adventure Creator multiple players

Post by RealHandy »

Hi! I'm trying to figure out how to integrate a Dialogue System conversation so that either of two AC player characters can use it. For example, there's a shopkeeper, and I want to have a ThirdParty:Dialogue System -> Start Conversation action list that runs a DS conversation. But the DS conversation requires that a specific Player be identified as the Actor. So, if I have Bob and Keith as my two AC Player characters, and I want DS to use Bob's name and inventory when Bob talks to the shopkeeper, but use Keith's name and inventory when Keith talks to the shopkeeper, I think I'm stuck.

I don't want to have to add a DS OnUse trigger to every conversant -- I already have AC Hotspots for that, and they are smart about which player is talking to the conversant. So, am I missing something, or do I have to add an OnUse trigger even though I'm already using an AC Hotspot to start the action list that contains the DS conversation?

Thanks!

Hi,

If you tick "Actor is player?" it will use the current AC player:
