Dialogue system

[rare flower]

Im trying to make a dialogue system for my game but I can't figure out how to make a function where if interact >= 1 then it waits for that amount of time but if interact == true then it waits for an E input where it wont move on to the next dialogue until you press E. My problem is it won't wait for me to press E and instead continues and moves on without showing the text. The interact >= 1 works but the true and false stuff doesn't

the code:
local function writeText(text, interact) --copy this "writeText..." inside () text = write text there, interact = if true press E otherwise put number
Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
gui.Enabled = true
textbox.Visible = true
image.Visible = true
textLabel.Text = text
sound:Play()
if interact >= 5 then
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
task.wait(0.1)
print("Pressing E worked")
task.wait(0)
else
task.wait(0.01)
return
end
end)
else
if interact >= 1 then
print("variable found but no true")
task.wait(interact)
interact = false
else
print("found NOTHING")
task.wait(1)
interact = false
end

end

end

dawg what’s the point in a task.wait(0)😭

why are you using if check to see if a boolean is greater than 1

hm

idek whats happening

local function writeText(text, interact) --copy this "writeText..." inside () text = write text there, interact = if true press E otherwise put number
    Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
    gui.Enabled = true
    textbox.Visible = true
    image.Visible = true
    textLabel.Text = text
    sound:Play()
    if interact >= 5 then
        UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
            if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
                task.wait(0.1)
                print("Pressing E worked")
                task.wait(0)
            else
                task.wait(0.01)
                return
            end
        end)
    else
        if interact >= 1 then
            print("variable found but no true")
            task.wait(interact)
            interact = false
        else
            print("found NOTHING")
            task.wait(1)
            interact = false
        end
        
    end
end

quesiton mark

yeah im confused aswell ggs

[frail ermine]

what're you tryna achieve, whats interact, why are u checking if its greater than 5

[rough wing]

i just put it as a codeblock

😭

[frail ermine]

yeahso what're u tryna make

[rough wing]

i couldnt read the OP's original code cause it wasnt on format so i just pasted the same code, but in format so i can read it
-# and that my screen resolution is fucked up...

nun i was tryan read it but got confused half way on what the fuck is going on 💔

i think im too sleepy to help

[rare flower]

I didn’t even realize icl

[rare flower]

I probably should’ve fixed that

I wanted to make it so that if I put a number in the Boolean then it’d run that number but if I wrote true it’d run the wait for the E input but that’s probably what’s messing it up

[frail ermine]

wtf is this fuckign script

[rare flower]

idek man i wanted to try and see if it worked 😔

[rare flower]

im probably gonna split it into two different functions rather than trying to make it into one singular function

    Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
    gui.Enabled = true
    textbox.Visible = true
    image.Visible = true
    textLabel.Text = text
    sound:Play()
    if interact == true then
        UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
            if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
                task.wait(0.1)
                print("Pressing E worked")
                task.wait(0.01)
                interact = false
            else
                print("Waiting for input")
                task.wait(0.01)
                return
            end
        end)
    else
        print("true didn't work")
        task.wait(1)
    end
end```

I made it just a boolean but it still doesnt wait for the input before ending the function

I made a dialogue system in my game and it works pretty well.

[rare flower]

how did you make it

[cinder flower]

Once I get back home I’ll give u a like to my game

[rare flower]

alr

[rare flower]

could you set it as public

[grim hound]

** You are now Level 3! **

[cinder flower]

Sure

[cinder flower]

Check it now

[rare flower]

its unrated so it wont let me look at it 😔

[rare flower]

you probably should also make it open source but idk how you would do that

[cinder flower]

I don’t really wanna make it opened source, but It’s basically just a copy of supdoggy’s dialogue system. All I did was rewrite the code to make it easier to work with.

Heres the video if u want it https://youtu.be/hPEE5ol6xc4?si=NI7YapjEf0kUVhCq

[rare flower]

this isnt the dialogue type I really wanted to make but thank you anyways

[rare flower]

youre good

[cinder flower]

What was it then tho
