You can do that now?!?

Geez, I'm not paying attention lately.

Would anyone mind modifying this script so that after speaking to the NPC, there is a second or so gap before you can speak to it again - so that you can actually walk away from them, instead of being trapped and having to talk to them several times?

EDIT: And then it dawned upon me. The way to fix this was not to pester other people, but to figure out a way to do it myself!

Anyway, the script for the real NPCs works a lot better if you change the two 'InputA' commands to 'InputL' and use the L button to speak to people, because then if you have the 'Messages can be sped up with the A button' rule on, which I assume most people do, you don't get stuck in a loop of talking to the same NPC about 3 or 4 times.

is it possible to get the signpost to play the sound the same as an actual
string displaying in a room, as in.. constantly as it's typing the letters out?

I haven't tried the NPC with sound, but the signpost doesn't have that option.

[pkmnfrk]

The Message itself should take care of creating that sound. That is not changed in either the Signpost or the NPC scripts. The sound option in the NPC script is for, say, a dog making a "woof" sound when you talk to it, in addition to the message "Dog: Woof!".

If you're not getting a sound out of your messages, check to make sure the SFX box is filled in in the String editor. If it isn't, you can set it to the default (18)

it didn't work in the last version of ZC (where I added it), but in 718 it works fine.
Thanks

Im very new at scripting and I put in the script exactly but it has 4 errors 2 that say that "DIR_UP" is undeclared and 2 that say "waitframe" is undeclared, what does that meen and how do i fix it?

[Elmensajero]

DIR_UP is declared in "std.zh". This file should already be in the same folder as ZQuest is (unless you moved it for some reason extracting all the files), so make sure that it is there, and at the top of the script there is the following line:

import "std.zh"

Also, for "Waitframe();", make sure that the 'w' is capitalized and the rest of that line of code looks exactly like it is found in the first post of this thread.

If you have more trouble, just make sure you follow the steps in post 14 to get it working.
