Detect if responce was already used once

Post by Deadcow »

I try to distinguish responces that was used once (in some dialogues with looping paths) to highlight such responces visually. Is there a way to get such info from Responce class?
I've got an idea to save dialogue entry id's along with conversation id when dialogue entry is shown and then compare aResponce.destinationEntry against this collection of all entries ever shown... but ideally I'd like to distinguish by Responce itself instead of destinationEntry

Hi,

You can use SimStatus. Then you can check the value manually or set Dialogue Manager's Input Settings > Em Tag For Old Responses.

Hello again :)
I'm using Em# tag for old responses but now I need for a few specific responses to ignore this.
Is there some ways to make this or should I rewrite it to check SimStatus and style responses manually?

Hi,

You could set its SimStatus back to Untouched:
  • Dialogue Text: "What do you have for sale?"
  • Script: Dialog[thisID].SimStatus = "Untouched"
