DIALOGUE not working in game... ?

[Hidden Hands]

I have supplied as much as I can. Here are 2 screenshots of my setup.

I have never had this trouble before. But I must have missed something this time... The idea is to interact with Telephone on the table in MAP01 in order to activate a dialogue (from DIALOG01) that tells the player that the line is dead. But when I interact with the phone, nothing happens. Have I missed something here and have I done something wrong? I am working in GZDOOM2 UDMF ... Any help is much appreciated,

thanks in advance.

Has anyone got a solution for me with this yet? I'm just having a lot of trouble with it. I cannot interact with the telephone to trigger the dialog. I have the CONVERSATION ID set to 1 for the telephone and the DIALOG01 lump seems to be set up right. Any help please?

Code: Select all

namespace = "ZDoom";
include = "SCRIPT00";

conversation
{
    // TELEPHONE
	id = 1;
	actor = "Telephone";
	page
	{
	     name = "TELEPHONE";
		 dialog = "The line is dead. I can't use it.";
    }
}


conversation
{
    // Dormant Zombie
	id = 2;
	actor = "ZombieType1";
	page
	{
	     name = "Dormant Zombie";
		 dialog = "It's a zombie. Looks like it was stolen from Nightmare Creatures II.";
    }
}

As a test I did the exact thing again with a joke dialog for a dormant zombie and that works perfectly. Why doesn't the telephone one work?

Thanks in advance.

How does your telephone look? You only posted the dialogue but not the actor.
In order to help you, people will need a runnable example, with what you posted there is little chance to get any help at all because those who want to help have nothing to analyze.

AHH I apologise, I forgot to add that. Origianlly, it was like this:

Code: Select all

ACTOR Telephone : SmallBloodPool replaces SmallBloodPool
{
//$Category Decoration
//$Title Telephone
//$Sprite POL2A0
  }

And I figured out that it stopped it working. I'm not sure why exactly but I replaced it with this:

Code: Select all

ACTOR Telephone replaces SmallBloodPool
{
//$Category Decoration
//$Title Telephone
//$Sprite POB2A0
  Radius 20
  Height 14
  ProjectilePassHeight -16
  States
  {
  Spawn:
    POB2 A -1
    Stop
  }
}

And now it works. Strange.

The problem is that the SmallBloodPool actor has the NOBLOCKMAP flag set, which prevents any kind of passive interaction, like being used.
You just picked one of the only two actors as a base where it could not work...

Trust me to make a mistake like that. I'll remember that for future reference. Thank you.
