Fully commented source code/event sheet & sprites to create a space shooter game
  • Hi there. I'm trying to create a automatic script system for my game. I'm not sure how to go about this. I want to select all the text after "." "!" "?" And place all the text after this character to the next (X) array until there are no more text.

    Example:

    <hint id='text1'>Hi there. How are you today? Doing well I can see!</hint>

    converted to:

    <hint id='text1'>Hi there.</hint>

    <hint id='text2'>How are you today?</hint>

    <hint id='text3'>Doing well I can see!</hint>

  • Here is a good example, it uses xml to store dialog options:

    Thank you, this is super close to what I'm looking for. I had no idea you could insert text into XML files.

    Do you think there's a way to select text after a certain character?

    Not sure I understand the question. Do you mean highlight text after some tag?

    Oh sorry let me explain. I need to delete the first sentence after it's displayed, then move the rest of text to the next line of dialog.

    By doing this I won't have to separate the text into individual XML/array lines. Rather then placing all the text I need into the first slot, then retrieving the next sentence.

    Example:

    text1: Hi there. What's up? Nice day today.

    text2: 0

    converted to

    text1: 0

    text2: What's up? Nice day today.

  • I don't know.. I never used this template, but I'm sure it can be updated for your needs.

    Good news! I just found a way to move the script, but... I'm still baffled on how to delete the first sentence.
