[Solved] Calling dialogue script from a linedef

[_reallyTired]

is it possible to trigger dialogue by pressing use on a line/wall? The following works:

Code: Select all

namespace ="Zdoom";
Include = "SCRIPT00";

conversation
{
	Actor = "ZombieMan";
	Page
	{
		Name = "Hello";
		Dialog = "World";
	}
}

But replacing "ZombieMan" with "SecActUseWall" and placing the necesary thing down on a wall doesnt let me use it. clearly im misunderstanding how to use the secactusewall actor but the wiki page doesnt really help me. it may be possible to trigger it without a thing at all but i need conversation ID which i dont beleive i can give to a line.

Thanks in advance and im sorry if im being stupid.

Doesnt matter, i figured it out now, i was being pretty dumb...

First: You dont really need to tie the conversation to a actor. This is an old way of doing the conversation. I have never tied the conversation to one specific actor, yet all conversations work for me.

And this comes to other point: You cannot tie conversation to a linedef special.

okay, as i said i figured out what i wanted to do anyway. but its also best to explain how to do things instead of just saying theyre doing it wrong, it comes off as rude and is really not helpful.

This was what i ended up doing, i thought i tried it and it didnt work but i mustve been doing something wrong since it worked fine the second time not long after i made my post.
