Check the completion/percentage of a conversation?

[dunathan]

Is there a way to check how much of a conversation a player has progressed? Currently I´m counting the number of entries shown and comparing to the total amount. But its a very rough solution. TY

Hi,

You can use SimStatus to track which entries have been used, which will prevent double-counts if the player loops back and repeats an entry. Then check DialogueLua.GetSimStatus() for all of the conversation's dialogue entries.

Awesome, TY

Glad to help!

It worked! Now I can estimate the progress just fine, just one more thing, how do I set sim status for my entries or reset whole conversation sim status?

Hi,

If you tick the Dialogue Manager's Other Settings > Include SimStatus checkbox, the Dialogue System will automatically set SimStatus values as conversations play. Otherwise, you can use DialogueLua.GetSimStatus() and DialogueLua.MarkDialogueEntry***() methods to get and set SimStatus. To reset a conversation, loop through its dialogue entries and call DialogueLua.MarkDialogueEntryUntouched() for each.

It was right in my face, sorry! It worked, thank you again.
