Exit Strategy

Well, we have a number of responses building for most states, and I want to play with one specific challenge. How do we make an exit available for a player right up front in a dialog, that fulfills the following conditions:

  • Reinforces Aran's characterization
  • Is not always the same "No talking" line
  • Takes little effort to implement so we can concentrate on dialog folks who don't exit want to see.

In many states, we have from 2 to 5 different responses already, which is getting to the point of Wall Of Text™. So I want to do two things - have only one line available that says "this way out", and have it reinforce a character concept. I'm going to toss a RandNum set into the mix, so that Aran swears a little differently each time the line gets run. This I am setting aside, too, as a "Standard Exit Block".

 

The added replies to a state:

+ ~RandNum(9,1)~ + ~ <<EXIT_TEXT>> ~ + c-aranshutup1
+ ~RandNum(9,2)~ + ~ <<EXIT_TEXT>> ~ + c-aranshutup2
+ ~RandNum(9,3)~ + ~ <<EXIT_TEXT>> ~ + c-aranshutup3
+ ~RandNum(9,4)~ + ~ <<EXIT_TEXT>> ~ + c-aranshutup4
+ ~RandNum(9,5)~ + ~ <<EXIT_TEXT>> ~ + c-aranshutup5
+ ~RandNum(9,6)~ + ~ <<EXIT_TEXT>> ~ + c-aranshutup6
+ ~RandNum(9,7)~ + ~ <<EXIT_TEXT>> ~ + c-aranshutup7
+ ~RandNum(9,8)~ + ~ <<EXIT_TEXT>> ~ + c-aranshutup8
+ ~RandNum(9,9)~ + ~ <<EXIT_TEXT>> ~ + c-aranshutup9

IF ~~ c-aranshutup1
 SAY ~[ARAN] Aye, then. Shuttin' up.~
 IF ~~ THEN EXIT
END

IF ~~ c-aranshutup2
 SAY ~[ARAN] By the Cryin' God's tears, you are in a mood.~
 IF ~~ THEN EXIT
END

IF ~~ c-aranshutup3
 SAY ~[ARAN] Sure.~
 IF ~~ THEN EXIT
END

IF ~~ c-aranshutup4
 SAY ~[ARAN] Fine. I'll be over there.~
 IF ~~ THEN EXIT
END

IF ~~ c-aranshutup5
 SAY ~[ARAN] Sune's Lusty Lips, you can sure kill a conversation.~
 IF ~~ THEN EXIT
END

IF ~~ c-aranshutup6
 SAY ~[ARAN] Corellon's Bowhand, you have an attitude today.~
 IF ~~ THEN EXIT
END

IF ~~ c-aranshutup7
 SAY ~[ARAN] Shar's Arsehole, shut me down, will ya? Fine.~
 IF ~~ THEN EXIT
END

IF ~~ c-aranshutup8
 SAY ~[ARAN] By the Cryin' God's Tears - I was just makin' conversation.~
 IF ~~ THEN EXIT
END

IF ~~ c-aranshutup9
 SAY ~[ARAN] Well, I'll just bugger off, then. This is me, see, mindin' my own business.~
 IF ~~ THEN EXIT
END

 

The advantage here is that I can customize the player response to fit the talk it is attached to, but I have it linked to the same 9 possible responses.

I could also do this another way, filtering through even more possibilities:

There is a problem with coding this way, though. The conversation becomes pointilistic. Remember, each state becomes a full dialog box in-game. So now we have the following screens:

 

[PC] It is not a great time to talk right now, Aran.

[ARAN] Bugger all.

[ARAN] Cyric's Twisted Tongue. Just wanted to talk, y'know.

 

There is no good way in this coding to make this into the ideal two-box thing:

[PC] It is not a great time to talk right now, Aran.

[ARAN] Bugger all. Cyric's Twisted Tongue. Just wanted to talk, y'know.

So why don't I split the difference. Instead of the same exact exit block like code example 1, or the nested tree of RandNum responses in code example 2, I am going to create a bank of possible responses, and paste them into the dialog when I need to give the player an exit strategy.

Why go to all this trouble for a silly single line?

 

Well, in a word, "modularity". I don't want to spend a long time dealing with throwaway exit lines - I want to spend the time on dialog. But I also want to make it new and different for the player who just wants to Get Out Of Dodge fast. So, a roleplaying option that provides a bunch of responses, and now I can copy/paste a standard exit block into place throughout the friendship talks (and perhaps even the lovetalks) and not worry about them. An interchangeable "exit module". Plus, it is fun to play with code.

Well, I am posting the thought-process here, and thinking through specific coding challenges and picking rough dialog that can use the challenge to make the content play - so really all of Aran is one big (long-winded) tutorial. What would you like changed to fit tutorialization? (the Foul Faerunian Language thing?)

 

So far I have taken SoA banters and broken them down, done a traditional-to-chain progression, and hit base frindship talks. Looking at state-filtered variables next.

Keep in mind that except for PID, these dialogues are only going to play through once per game. Yeah, players do replay NPCs they like, but by then, they might not remember whether Aran said "Cyric's bunghole" or "Oghma's bunion". :)

Link to comment

Yep :) In the writing set done here, it is overkill. But since it is a bank of exits for all dialogs in-mod, when we hit FT9 or some other one, I still get my "bank" of exits:

 

+ ~RandNum(3,1)~ + ~ <<EXIT RESPONSE 1>> ~ + c-aranshutup28

+ ~RandNum(3,2)~ + ~ <<EXIT RESPONSE 2>> ~ + c-aranshutup29

+ ~RandNum(3,3)~ + ~ <<EXIT RESPONSE 3>> ~ + c-aranshutup30

 

gets to be reused comfortably in an FT or two, a LT or two, even a banter if I want exit points there.

No drastic changes or anything, just when you get your thoughts lined up and know that the code actually works in a tested game environment, post the final version with a bit of step by step instruction for the newer modders or modders new to dialog files....
