good, but im not sure if is usefull for me

[Sektor_Z]

This gives me a kernel32.dll-related error of some sort, so I couldn't see it in action.
I looked into the code though and it looks pretty promising and simple to use, I just wish I knew what the problem was...

Thank you for posting

I'm very sorry for the error. I have no idea what's causing this error.
I hope that someone else in this forum will post what could be related with the problem.

The error wasn't caused by your code at all, it was a whole different problem that's now resolved.

But while testing this I encountered another error, when enabling "Treat uninitialized variables as value 0",
an error related to the following code in the "Draw" action of the NPC object, shows up about this code:

if answer[num,0] != "" then

Saying it cannot compare arguments here. Can you try enabling "Treat uninitialized variables as value 0" yourself and see if there's a way to fix that, I tried already using similar code but it didn't work well, I guess I still don't exactly know your code. Maybe you can help?

This could be really useful to me if we manage to make it working with the "Treat uninitialized variables as value 0" enabled...

I'm not sure what was causing the error but I've found a way to fix it.

In the draw event of the dialog replace this part:

repeat(global.max_answers)
{
if answer[num,0]!="" then

with this:

repeat(global.max_answers)
{
if is_string(answer[num,0])
if answer[num,0]!="" then

Basically the difference is that it will check if the answer[num,0] is a string. (Since for a reason when you enable "Treat uninitialized variables as value 0"
an answer has the value of 0.

This GM-related issue has been giving me alot of trouble lately. Thanks for figuring out an alternative way!
Anyways, your example is really helpful and easy to understand. Thanks for sharing it, I will give you credit and notify you if I use it (which I will, probably).

WOW

[tomduck97]

This example is really great!

Although it could use some explanatation, because there are many scripts!

[Markonicus]

This is a great example, really useful, but would it be possible to make the dialog images animated. As is is they are stationary even if the sprite itself is animated.
It would be best if it could be animate while the text is being typed and then stop the animation once it is done typing, but any kind of animation would be good.

You can animate the portrait sprites by replacing the lines 9-17 in the draw event of the dialog to this:

if portrait[0,0]!=0 then
{
draw_sprite(portrait[0,0],-1,_x+portrait[0,1],_y+portrait[0,2])
}

if portrait[1,0]!=0 then
{
draw_sprite(portrait[1,0],-1,_x+portrait[1,1],_y+portrait[1,2])
}
