Reality Factory

Hello,

Slowly, my project grows (I don't want to call it game yet, because it is not fun to play (yet^^). Now, I was adding dialogs like described in the manual, but there's a problem: When using it, the old answers are still visible, so after two or three chosen options, it is a pretty chaos. So I want to know how to let these old ones dissapear.

Currently you have to make a compromise. If you want to see the level in the background the screen will not get cleared during the conversation, that's what you are observing. What you can do is
a) use a background image for the area of the replies
b) clear the complete screen (to black)

OK, but wouldn't it be better to use a menu? Just for interest, what are the differences and how to make one?

Sorry, I don't understand your question. We were talking about a graphical glitch, right? What has a menu (what menu?) to do with that?

I mean, instead of using "reply" in the script, why not use "MenuReply"? What are the differences?

When using the Reply method the player will have to select the reply by pressing one of the keys 1 - 9.
When using the MenuReply method the player will be able to select a reply with the mouse.

OK, I didn't know that. But how do I add a background to a normal conversation reply window? Is there any Command? I changed the filename in the Pawn.ini file as described in the manual, but somehow it doesn't help (as in: There is no background).
Thanks in Advance

Use this command in your script to disable transparent backgrounds: Use this command in your script to use a custom background:
