Force the player through dialogue? (Can't Tab out)

Post » Wed Jun 20, 2012 6:20 pm

Is there a way to force the player to complete dialogue? I have a scene in which you are all seated, and an NPC forcegreets the player, and I can't have them quitting dialogue with tab. Can I disable this during my dialogue somehow? I think I've seen it done in the game, so I just need the command.

Thanks,

disable player controls. Re-enable after conversation complete.

Which part of that covers quitting dialogue? I already disable the players controls, but I leave a few intact. But I think just looking and pausing. So that should already cover quitting dialogue?

well this is the one that's used in the intro scene:

Game.DisablePlayerControls(abMovement =true, abFighting = true, abCamSwitch = true, abLooking = false, abSneaking = true, abMenu = true, abJournalTabs= true)

I think Movement, Activate, menu, and JournalTabs are probably the important ones in your case. You can probably let them do camera switch unless you want them to lock them into first person or 3rd person mode.

(Edit: Whups...that one was from the quickstart.)

Has anyone gotten this to work? As far as I can tell, even if you disable player controls, the player can still tab out of dialogue.

I actually haven't tested this part yet. Many quest portions before it require voice acting, and I don't have it from my actors yet. I wont actually play it for, like, probably another week, but I'll let you know then. >.>
