Combining Strife dialouge system with ACS code

[MarkKirby]

I was working on a wad and I wanted to create a simple currency system and combine it with the dialouge system.

What I wanted to do was a simple variable

Code: Select all

int cash
cash = 0

Then simply increment this number when needed, as apposed top using a pick up

Code: Select all

cash = cash + 100

Easy, however, I cannot find a way to use the variable within the dialouge system.

What I would like to do is check the value of cash from the dialouge system and give an appropriate response if the number is high enough but for the life of me, I cannot seem to achive this.

Can any one help with this? or am I missing something here, like a built in currency? all examples I found, swapped items for other items but, as cash won't drop, I wanted to keep it really simple.

Any ideas?

Just simple thing. Make the money an inventory item and you can use it freely with strife dialogue. No, you CANNOT use user variables from ACS in any way with the dialogue system. Still, you can use variables with the dialogue system. You just have to use inventory items as variables. Just make the items hidden and everything work as expected. If you have questions, ask me. I think I have lot of exprience with this weird script language.
