Selecting Dialog Option With Number Keys

[streethamster]

Is it possible it's not working because I'm trying to link two separate conversations (with separate IDs) with a single variable? It should still work, right?

If I have the first dialogue trigger set to On Start, what would I set the second trigger to if I'm linking conversations? On conversation end?

Which approach are you using? (#1 or #2 from my previous reply.)

I'm using method #1.

Here's screenshots of what I'm trying to do, I hope you don't mind. I know I'm doing something wrong, I'm just not sure what.

I have a dialogue entry that is supposed to connect to branch 2 in a different scene when the player talks to an NPC.

Now this is the next dialogue entry that I would like to link to the above entry with the variable set to true, but in a different conversation and a different scene.

The dialogue system trigger for the first scene.

The first dialogue system trigger in the second scene.

The second dialogue system trigger in the same second scene that I would like to activate the new conversation if the variable is set to true.

Any advice would be appreciated, thank you.

It's quite a bit simpler than all of that. Try these steps:

1. Define a single variable to specify whether Convo1_Branch1 or Convo1_Branch2 should play:

2. In Convo1_Branch1, set the variable true:

3. Configure the Convo1_Branch1 trigger to fire if the variable is false:

4. Configure the Convo1_Branch2 trigger to fire if the variable is true:
