Kesash, do you mind giving a tutorial of how to set up a simple conversation? I've been trying for the past hours and haven't been able to. Anytime I think I've got it, I've broken it. And on top of that I never get the little bubble to click to advance the text, so I don't know how I messed up there either.
This shows a simple conversation, contact and phone, with a screen to open the phone. The hardest part is defining the contact, but once that's done you never need to do it again, you can just swap out which conversation is loaded in and that one will play out :)
(i forgot to add 'default test_dialogue_list_index = 0', should be done after the conversation list is defined and 'all_dialogue' can just be set to an empty list, half of this will become unnecessary in the next release btw, ive completely reworked how its all set up, check the devlog, you may want to wait for the next release)
Set the name of the 'member' to unknown, then later, just replace that member with one with a name. So create it with the name unknown, then later remove it and replace it with one with a name.
The name of the contact is made by checking all the members keys, and just using the one that isnt you. So if a conversationg has two members: 'mc' and 'unknown', and the phone owner is 'mc' the contact is 'unknown', as thats the one that doesnt match the phone. If you then remove the unknown member and replace it with a member called 'sarah' it will now use that as the contact name.
But as youre still using the same conversation, just changing the other member, it will still keep all the history.
Let me know if you need an example in code, im just on my phone atm so cant do one right now.
Here, throw this in (change the member name of 'mc' if that isnt your phones name) and it will add a convo with a changing name:
default unknown_convo = [
{"ember":"Hey"},
{"mc":"Hey who is this"},
{"ember":"Ember"},
{"mc":"OH! Ill update your name"},
{"code":"""
mc_ember_convo['members'].pop('unknown', None)
mc_ember_convo['members']['ember']= {'profile':'addaprofilepic.png'}
"""},
{"mc":"done"}
]
default mc_ember_convo = build_conversation(
unknown_convo,
member("mc"),
member("unknown", profile = "test/mc_profile.png")
)
You can obviously replace it from wherever you want, i just showed it being done in the phone here.
Remember to always set a profile picture, it will crash if it cant find one (I will make it so it just shows a default instead of crashing at some point). If youre removing and adding the member to change the name, just re set the same one.
