Timeline plugins as Sequencer Commands

Post by nathanj »

What's the chances of adding Sequencer Commands for ShowAlert and SetQuest?

I've been using the Sequencer in TImeline more and more and having the ability to show Alert Messages and Setting Quests states would be really nice. I know the plugins are also there but being able to write them in would be a really nice option as well, if, of course, it's not too much for work you.

Thanks again,
Nathan

Hi Nathan,

Use the Script field for this instead. If you're using the built-in Dialogue Editor window, you can even use dropdowns instead of having to type anything by hand.

To show an alert, click the "..." next to the Script field, click "+", and select Set > Alert > your message. Then click Apply. To enter this manually:

ShowAlert("your message")

To set a quest state, from the dropdowns select Set > Quest > your quest > to > state. Then click Apply. Or enter it manually:

SetQuestState("your quest", "state")

where state is active, success, failed, or unassigned.
