Use the pencil on the dead cat....
I have spend the last 18 hours of my life
coding responses for EVERY combination in my game so far.
Now my question to you. Was it worth it? Are there players stupid/crazy/people with to many time on there hands/etc. out there who are going to try them all out just to hear the (mostly) funny responses of the main charracter? And whould you do it for your game?
Tip for doing this the fast way:
Make a Template code where you code like this:
#include "scripts\base.inc"
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
on "LookAt"
{
actor.Talk("");
}
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
on "Take"
{
Game.SelectedItem = "item";
}
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
on "Talk"
{
actor.Talk("");
}
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
on "itemA"
{
actor.Talk("");
}
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
on "itemB"
{
actor.Talk("");
}
ETC ETC ETC.
Put it in every item and every interactive object in the game and build the rest of the code around it. This way you are sure you won't forget anything.
