say¶
The script command say
is allowed when triggering NPCs and takes two parameters:
- A foreign key to a dialog row
- A numeric flag I call silent
When executed the text in the dialog row is displayed gradually at the bottom of the screen in a letterbox. The silent flag does two things:
- blinking symbol appears after the text has been displayed fully
- a voice sample is played
The voice sample may come from the Voice
column in the dialog row, but it isn't used in the original database. Alternatively the game appends at random a number between 1 and 3 to the model name and plays thereby choosen sample.
