Advanced NPC Chat System [ANCS] Version 1.2a

Hello! I was bored and decided to make a system. As I could see and find there was no good system out here in this section with this kind of feature, so I decided to create it!

In my opinion it went out good; however, improvements can be made, with your help! Please give me feedback so I may improve this system to become even better, because I know many people would like to have a system like this in their map(s)! Thank you.

System Information
This system allow you to create a conversation/chat with any unit placed in your map (can even be used with unit you create in the game with the right setup). Simply you use an ability, as I call in the test map "Talk" on a target unit and the conversation/chat starts.

Depending on how you setup the NPC it will appear different options (a maximum of 5) for you to select and each option will result in a different answer or event. For each option you are able to add an external trigger that will run whenever a player choose this specific "connected" option to the external trigger (in the test map you will kill the Knight if you pick option Nr. 3).

Note: This system has some parts that is made with JASS, however it's very user friendly, else it's fully GUI. Also, it's a 100% MPI!
Tip: If you want a black interface while you have a conversation take a look click here!

x_mime_changelog.png
Changelog
VERSION 1.2a
- Optimized the code even more:
> Map Header-script optimized.
> Renamed the variable 'tmp' to 's' in function ANCS_GetOptionString; saves some space.
> Renamed the variable 'cOption' to 'cO' in all functions; saves some space.
> Added a new function; ANCS_ResetPlayer(integer, force). This reduced the GUI code in two triggers: ANCS_ToggleRight_Select
and ANCS_ToggleCancel

- Fixed an issue with 'ANCS_System_CantTalkMsg'; it was displayed to all players.
- Map size reduced by 0.2kB (better than nothing, right?)

VERSION 1.1a
- Added a variable that allow an user to set a time for how long an answer shall be displayed.
- Replaced "Cinematic - Send transmission" with "Game - Display to (All players)"; because transmission changed the player unit portrait and hide HP/MP bars.
- Optimized the system code A LOT (more than 2kB!)
- Fixed an issue with the system; was able to talk to non-talk unit(s).

VERSION 1.0a
- Release.



------------------------------------

Thank you for testing. Any feedback is welcome!

IcemanBo: Too long as NeedsFix. Rejected.

Magtheridon96:

Well, this is a lot better than the previous version.

  • If this were completely JASS, it would've been nicer to have a Conversation struct that has a list of Answer/Option groups, and you could register answer/option pairs to those groups, but this is a GUI system, and thus needs to be easy for beginners to use, and yours is, so my current rant is pointless :p
  • You should store things like (Triggering unit), (Owner of (Triggering unit)) or whatever into variables instead of repeating them over and over again. (JASS is a slow interpreted language)

Otherwise, good job.
If you don't want to use hashtables, it's not a major problem, but it would increase performance, and shorten your code just a bit.

Also, it's a 100% MUI!

How can it be MUI when a Player can only interact with it one at a time ?
This system is MPI.
It cannot be MUI because that's the system's purpose lol.
So you might change that description a bit.

On the system, after you have chosen which option you want, the potrait stay stuck at "chat animation", meaning that you can't see HP/MP values at the potrait of each unit.
You may wanna fix that.

Maybe 3 heroes of 3 different players can talk simultaneously and that's both MUI and MPI?

I'm lazy to explain what is MUI and what is MPI, but this system is MPI, because only 1 unit per player is allowed to initiate this system at a time, you understand ?

MUI
Many units at once (regardless of Player)

MPI
1 unit per player

And the fact this system is MPI, does not make it bad, because that's what this system purpose, to handle 1 unit per player (1 conversation per Player).

Imagine, you can't have 3 Footmans talking to 3 different units and have 3 chat windows at a time for a single Player, do you ?

You can only have a max of 1 chat windows per player at a time, that's why it is MPI, not MUI.

Also;
and that's both MUI and MPI?

A trigger cannot be both MUI and MPI, they must be either one.

@FRENGERS,
Haha, thank you.

@defskull & @Dr.Killer
The system is MPI I was tired at the moment I wrote it and didn't notice I wrote MUI instead of MPI. Thank you for notice that.

Fixed in the next version, thanks.


Edit: I've updated this system to version 1.1a. You are able to read the changelog in the main post.

Magtheridon96; I won't use hashtables; however, I've optimised the code a lot(!) in this version, below is an example:

    • Conditions

      • -------- ---------- --------
      • For each (Integer ANCS_Integer) from 1 to ANCS_NPC_ID, do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

Version 1.2a

Sorry for the delay; but I've now updated this system to version 1.2a.

I would like to post the differences here; but the 'JASS'-tags doesn't work it seems; they put all code in one line. So you have to trust me it's optimized! :)


x_mime_changelog.png
Changelog

VERSION 1.2a
- Optimized the code even more:
> Map Header-script optimized.
> Renamed the variable 'tmp' to 's' in function ANCS_GetOptionString; saves some space.
> Renamed the variable 'cOption' to 'cO' in all functions; saves some space.
> Added a new function; ANCS_ResetPlayer(integer, force). This reduced the GUI code in two triggers: ANCS_ToggleRight_Select
and ANCS_ToggleCancel

- Fixed an issue with 'ANCS_System_CantTalkMsg'; it was displayed to all players.
- Map size reduced by 0.2kB (better than nothing, right?)
