dialogue has nothing to do with math

#

dialogue is actually an intermediate level topic, so if you're just starting out it's gonna be very very difficult

#

that being said

#

you're basically almost done

fickle wave
atomic umbra
#

the text appearing at the start of the game

#

sounds like you're placing down whatever object is resposible for the text in the room

fickle wave
#

oh so i shouldnt place the object done?

atomic umbra
#

no

#

what you should do is create it

#

whenever you want to trigger dialoue

#

maybe in a mouse event
maybe some other event who knows up to you

#

but just call instance_create_depth/layer

fickle wave
#

Ohh no wonder i had a hard time i was following this

atomic umbra
#

THEY'RE DOING IT IN DRAG AND DROP????

#

WTF

fickle wave
#

Yeah so i was ocnfused and deleted all of it now im nowhere

atomic umbra
#

this section

#

is what's relevant

#

lastly

#

if a tutorial doesn't work

it does. you just didn't follow it well enough

#

so don't be so fast to go deleting everything

fickle wave
atomic umbra
#

there's very few cases of tutorials straight up not working and we'll tell you

#

but even then it's usually fixable

because it clearly had to work for them to make a video/write a tutorial for it

fickle wave
#

can you show me which ones are currently? and i heard about chatterbox being a good app for gms for dialogues

fickle wave
atomic umbra
#

which ones don't work?

fickle wave
atomic umbra
atomic umbra
#

#

from GMS website

fickle wave
#

Btw wasnt there a dialogue branching system in the old one?

fickle wave
# atomic umbra .

Yeah but mostly my teacher thinks i can pull it off and i just started using gms like a month ago and its due tmr for me

atomic umbra
#

that's between you and your teacher then

#

if it's due tmr there's no chance

fickle wave
#

About chatterbox wouldnt it be easier to use that?

atomic umbra
#

do you want to be learning a whole new tool with 1 day to spare?

#

you had something that almost works

fickle wave
#

and show u what happens?

atomic umbra
#

sure

#

also im going in like 5 mins

#

so

fickle wave
#

.. oh dam

atomic umbra
#

#

fickle wave
#
