Alright, so I'm making a minigame where you can speak to NPC's by typing sentences (like Facade).

I tried to use a script like this:


_{if (keyboard_string="Hello.")
{
show_message("WELP HERROW!")
}}


However, this was proven to be almost impossible to code, as there are infinite sentences to be said etc.

So, I was thinking of an engine, again like Facade, that was able to recognize what words were in a sentence, for instance...

If "kill" and "Peter" were in the same sentence, the game would display a message saying "Why should I kill Peter?" and so on...

Does anyone have a clue on how to do this?

I haven't got 8.1...

And I'm not asking for your engine, I'm just asking for how to make such an engine. What functions did you use etc...

You can use string_pos() to find if a given substring is present in a string. Therefore, you can make a series of string_pos() checks to test which of the known keywords exist in the database. If you want to go advanced, use string_pos() to find out which of the keywords is used first, etc.

I need a little more help....

In my game, there is an object called ANSWER that draws the responses like this:

text=draw_text_ext(x+16,y+32,response,14,290)

And the typing object creates updates the variable called global.sentence every time enter is pressed.

How do I make ANSWER check if some word (like pie) is included in the global.sentence?

Just use that string_pos() function:

if(string_pos("pizza",global.sentence)){
response="I.. NEED... PIZZA.";
};
