Go to second phase of my story

justinb113113 01 March 2020 08:28

I have an RPG puzzle game. There are lots of NPCs who all say something. At a point in the game the player will press a switch which opens a new area.

At this point in the scene I would like my NPC dialogue and in some cases positioning to change.

I presume this is done with a variable such as stage two, getting a value when the switch is pressed. However what’s the logic I need?

Basically I want to say ‘if we are on phase 2, this npc says this instead of original line’. Should be one of the gates?

A selector will probably be the easiest method. It's good for "modes" and turning on this logic when this is true, and that logic when that is true.

Here's a tutorial on how to use selectors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CYMOldXRK3Y
