briefly you just define a global variable containing all necessary info and the mods add dialogues for you.
Example:
example_dialogue_1 = {
person="Uncle", -- Used in the title of the dialogue and as a "id" for the image to display
active=true, -- Set to true to be used as trigger-dialogue, Set to false to be displayed only in the logs (if false trigger and condition has no effect)
trigger=defines.events.on_cutscene_cancelled, -- trigger LuaEvent
condition="always_true", -- Name of the function defined in the remote interface
caption="This is a custom dialogue.\nJust want to say hi!"}, -- dialogue caption
}
Result:
The mod works fine in singleplayer, but it's getting me a headache in multiplayer.
It's not possibile to join a game if the event handlers are different.
My mod calls them when the game is fully loaded (because they are set from an interface)
The problem is that the player joining wont have those events handler active until the game is fully loaded which cant happen because he will desync.
I tried to:
- Init event handlers before, but I didn't find a way that doesn't include writing dialogues on the same mod (which is not what I'm aiming at)
- Detect if a player is joining in order to remove handlers and re-init them after. I don't think there is a way to do that.
- I made a button to manually toggle event handlers, but the only way that I found to fully remove them is by reloading the game.
It's a bit annoying to manually turn off triggers, save the game, reload, wait for the player to join and then turning triggers back on.
I was hoping someone has some magic tricks to share. Thanks for any help <3
