Quest Bool Field not being recognized

[Strig]

Hello, I've recently started implementing boolean variables inside my quests, because I want them to trigger different dialogue trees for multiple NPCs at once. However, I'm running into a problem.

At first I place the Boolean variable in the corresponding Quest's Fields. And then I try to invoke it like this (I know there's a typo on the print, I already fixed it).

However, I get the following error message:

Code: Select all

Dialogue System: Lua code 'return Quest["Travel to the Heart"].Talk_to_P_Dro == false and CurrentQuestState("Travel to the Heart") == "active"' threw exception 'Lookup of field 'Talk_to_P_Dro' in the table element failed because the table element itself isn't in the table.'

So from what I understand, the system is treating the variable as if it doesn't exist... but it's right there! Am I doing something wrong while invoking it?

Hi,

Use this:

Code: Select all

Quest["Travel_to_the_Heart"].Talk_to_P_Dro

Table indices -- that is, the part inside Quest[here] -- can't have blank spaces. When initializing the table, the Dialogue System automatically replaces spaces and other special characters with underscores. (more info)

It worked, thanks! I thought only the variables needed the underscores, not the quest name.

Thanks for the help!

Hi,

Glad to help! Anything inside Actor["..."], Quest["..."], Item["..."], Location["..."], or Variable["..."] needs the underscores.
