[Question] Requirement for Computer Screen Dialogue Script?

[RV-007]

I don't know ACS, but I am curious enough to ask how the level of difficulty to make computer screen dialogue scripts. It's like Marathon, but for doom.

The scripting is very easy. Basically, you need either print commands or HUD message commands. HUD messages are better controlled/configured, so you might consider this first. You'll need to time the duration of each message so that the player has enough time to read them.

Is it possible to use the conversation id or dialogue lump for the the computer screen? I was thinking to make a refrigerator to take out oranges. This is a bit off-topic, but can other objects hold their own inventory?

I just found out that the action specials, Thing_SetConversation and StartConversation, can work normally in DECORATE lump. Thing_SetConversation can change convid of a tid. StartConversation can trigger a conversation from a actor state (which will be useful for a computer screen dialogue script).
