Multiple Choice Answers

[Deactivated Member 0]

Heya!

 

I'm trying to have multiple choice/answers/actions etc. in my callouts. So far I only have the usual "Press Y to Speak" and I'm trying to get more button responses into it. However if I try it like this (simplified):

 

if (Game.IsKeyDown(System.Windows.Forms.Keys.End)) 
{ 
	if (Game.IsKeyDown(System.Windows.Forms.Keys.Y)) 
	{
		Do-Thing-A
	}
	else if (Game.IsKeyDown(System.Windows.Forms.Keys.C)) 
	{
		Do-Thing-B
	}
}

The Game either doesn't respond to either buttonpresses or it justs ends itself.

 

Is there any otherway (and probably more efficient) to get this kind of system implemented?

For my callouts I use game fibers and while loops for multiple choice dialogue. I can't tell if this is in the Process() or a gamefiber but for me my code usually looks something like this:

GameFiber.StartNew(delegate
            {
                Game.DisplayNotification("Press ~b~" + Settings.DialougeKey + "~w~ to speak.");
                while(true)
                {
                    GameFiber.Yield();
                    if(Game.IsKeyDown(Settings.DialougeKey1))
                    {
                        //do thing 1
                        option1 = true;
                        break;
                    }
                    else if(Game.IsKeyDown(Settings.DialougeKey2))
                    {
                        //do thing 2
                        option2 = true;
                        break;
                    }
                }
                if(option1) { Game.DisplaySubtitle("Response to option1"); }
                else if(option2) { Game.DisplaySubtitle("Response to option2"); }

            });

This is just a quick and dirty example but it demonstrates the general idea, and this could be adapted to work for decision making in a callout, not just dialogue. I hope this helps if you haven't already figured it out
