I got this message from someone who needs help---it's not the exact words but enough to give you the idea:

"I started with WME 3 days ago and I do now dialogues between actor, and second character (snow)
The problem is: I have this script for entity snow:
#include "scriptsbase.inc"

global Statesomething;

////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
on "Talk"
{
GoToObject();
Game.Interactive = false;

// greetings
actor.Talk("Hi there.");
this.Talk("Welcome to my country.");


and its not functioning. How may look the good script?"

I'm not anywhere near my computer right now---can someone help them?   

[metamorphium]

there are too many errors in the snippet. I suggest starting from the very beginning as nothing in this script can work.

Advise him to start with a book, which could lead them through the basics of scripting.

[Catacomber]

Do you mean something other than the WME book?

Not that many, are there? At the very least there's one closing } missing, and the GoTo line should be actor.GoToObject(this);
Then it should work, as long as the script is really attached to an entity.

He's Czech---I put the link to the WME book that's English---is there a link to the Czech one?

Is nice Czech guy.  :  ) ) ) Or girl, not sure.  : )

Here is a example of my Talk on one of my entities named "cultist". I hope this helps...

Code: [Select]

on "Talk"
{

   GoToObject();
   Game.Interactive = false;

  // greetings
  if(!StateRoom.TalkedToCultist) actor.Talk("Howdidlidou!");
  else actor.Talk("Wzup Ketchup, it's me again.");
  this.Talk("Hello, Fat Wizard.");

  // set the flag, so that we know we've already talked to him
  StateRoom.TalkedToCultist = true;

  if(!StateHell.Curry)
  {
  CultistDialogue();
  }
  else CultistDialogue3();
 
  // and let the dialogue begin
 

  // restore interactivity
  Game.Interactive = true;
}

some parts you can cut away, like the dialogues and so on, if you just want some really basic stuff said.

also it should be like this: #include "scripts\base.inc"

hope this gets you started

this and also the include line is wrong + the code doesn't return to Interactive state so the game hangs.
