v2.0.2

Bug fixes

@GAVsi115: fixed bug where pages (lengthy dialogue) didn’t work
enabled ClipDescendants by default for NPCTextContainerWithResponses and NPCTextContainerWithoutResponses in the BigAndBoldDialogue theme
fixed bug where if you fix scripts, the client API module would be duplicated

This looks nice a nice and easy to use plugin. Good for story games, of course. Thanks!

Только обратил внимание на то, что начатый диалог, в принципе нет возможности прервать пока он не будет весь пройден.
Как то это не хорошо…

I just drew attention to the fact that the dialogue started, in principle, there is no way to interrupt until it is all over.
As it is not good…

Sure, I’ll see about adding that this week

v2.1.0

Features

added proximity requirements, per @GAVsi115’s request
- more specifically, two new NPC settings: EndConversationIfOutOfDistance and MaximumConversationDistance
- dialogue api was updated to reflect this. check out the changes here, or update the plugin as usual

btw, i plan on changing the UI of the plugin to address some feedback i got on redirects.

the button to make redirects and responses will be more visible soon. (you won’t have to right-click anymore)

Download the github project and want to encapsulate it by yourself. There is a problem with the plug-in. Can you help me solve it?

Sudobeast · November 9, 2021, 2:26pm

Sure, I can help out.

There isn’t a line 8 in the DefaultVariablesTemplate on the GitHub repo

I noticed that it errored in the Workspace. Are you trying to run the plugin as a local/server script?

v3.0.0

Bug fixes

Player variable is no longer passed in action scripts. it’s player now, which avoids using unnecessary metatables in the DialogueServerScript, and more importantly, doesn’t cache the first player

updating the plugin and pressing “fix scripts” will fix the DialogueServerScript but it will not fix your individual action scripts. this is because i don’t want to write over your scripts, causing many other problems.

to manually fix this bug:

update the plugin for future use
press fix scripts to fix the DialogueServerScript
in your after action scripts,
- delete Player = nil,
- pass the player parameter in the Variables and Execute functions,
- replace all references of Player with player
smile…the bug’s gone

Thanks Reply

I encountered another problem, please take a look. I imported the code, right-clicked and saved the local plug-in. The following problem occurred

Sudobeast · November 11, 2021, 4:27pm

you’re probably getting that error because i didn’t add the GUI to the plugin repo. here’s a full copy of the plugin as of v3.0.0 (it has the GUI):

I like the system itself, but it seems to have some flaws.

Seems to happen randomly, but sometimes the first response is placed below the second which kinda throws the theme of yes on top out of the loop. Any fix?

Sudobeast · November 16, 2021, 6:14pm

oops, that isn’t supposed to happen. thanks for the report. i’ll take care of that today

LordMerc · November 16, 2021, 6:15pm

Thanks! I love that the conditions are checked on the server so it makes data gathering for quests much easier to manage!

LordMerc · November 16, 2021, 7:08pm

Would also like to suggest, if I delete an NPC character that has a dialogue folder, it’ll remove all dialogue instances associated with it. Just spent 15 mins trying to figure out what was breaking.

Sudobeast · November 16, 2021, 7:10pm

v3.0.1

Bug fixes

fixed the response sorting bug that @LordMerc reported
fixed bug where if you delete an npc, the dialogue maker screams at you

diffs:

Sudobeast · November 17, 2021, 3:08pm

v3.1.0

new features

added a Remove Unused Instances button. this button will remove any dialogue maker scripts that aren’t used by any NPCs. (requested by @LordMerc)
when you press Fix Scripts or Remove Unused Instances, the plugin now allows you to undo your changes.

bug fixes

default variables module now saves. apparently, i forgot to parent the module when it was created.

diff: add changehistoryservice + remove unused instances · Beastslash/roblox-dialogue-maker@22d17b0 · GitHub

LordMerc · November 17, 2021, 9:11pm

Noticed a bug where NPC name won’t change.

Also, the new version when running fix scripts makes NPC name look weird now (updated right after video)

EDIT: Would seem that another dialogue will run with a new one if the old one was ran before.

Sudobeast · November 17, 2021, 10:25pm

i’ll get on this tonight! thanks
