ok Im dumb sorry. I tried adding game:start_dialog("_treasure.sword.1") to sword.lua under function item:on_created() and under no function and I get this error for both: Error: In on_created: items/equipment/sword.lua:7: Cannot start dialog: this game is not running

should I be adding game:start_dialog("_treasure.sword.1") somewhere else maybe?

sol.language.set_language("en") was already in my main.lua. Should it be added somewhere else? I tried adding game:start_dialog(_treasure.sword.1) to the item script and main.lua and I just get the error "Error: Failed to load script 'main': main.lua:11: ')' expected near '.1'" I also tried adding to main.lua and got the same error but no error about the language not being set. 

And I was thinking it might be something to do with the file directory that the item is in. I tried messing around by changing the dialog to "_treasure.equipment.sword.1" but haven't had any luck yet. Ill mess around a bit tonight to see if I can figure it out.

Thanks again for all the suggestions guys!

ok so I think it has to do with the resource pack because I tried making a quest and only adding the sword.lua file and the sword sprite and I was able to get the text

ok so I tried using a freshly extracted solarus quest editor, made a new quest and all I did was add the resource pack called "solarus-alttp-pack-master", added dialogue for _treasure.sword.1 and changed my starting location to "test_map/test_map" and still didn't get text. Maybe its the resource pack? Or I'm just really dumb which is more likely.

so I found the code

Code: [Select]

sol.language.get_dialog() in the solarus documentation pdf and I think that might be what I'm missing but cant get it to work either. Is there a certain function in my sword.lua that it should be used in or something like that maybe?

Just tried with an npc using _treasure.sword.1 and I got the text with no errors. Is there an easy way to change what dialog is used when getting an item? I feel like I'm just really dumb and missing something super simple.

thanks!

When its set as a pickupable I still dont get the text but it plays the animation. I think your right about the item just not having the script that calls for the text because I dont see any code for it in the items script. This is the script for the sword:

Code: [Select]

local item = ...
local game = item:get_game()

function item:on_created()
  item:set_savegame_variable("possession_sword")
end

function item:on_variant_changed(variant)
  game:set_ability("sword", variant)
end
Thanks again for the help!

Thanks for the reply! No I dont get any errors and my dialog editor has dialog for my items under _treasure.sword.1, _treasure.shield.1 etc...

Here is the main.lua code:

Code: [Select]

-- Main Lua script of the quest.

require("scripts/features")
local initial_menus_config = require("scripts/menus/initial_menus_config")
local initial_menus = {}

-- This function is called when Solarus starts.
function sol.main:on_started()

  sol.language.set_language("en")

  sol.main.load_settings()
  math.randomseed(os.time())

  -- Show the initial menus.
  if #initial_menus_config == 0 then
    return
  end

  for _, menu_script in ipairs(initial_menus_config) do
    initial_menus[#initial_menus + 1] = require(menu_script)
  end

  local on_top = false  -- To keep the debug menu on top.
  sol.menu.start(sol.main, initial_menus[1], on_top)
  for i, menu in ipairs(initial_menus) do
    function menu:on_finished()
      if sol.main.game ~= nil then
        -- A game is already running (probably quick start with a debug key).
        return
      end
      local next_menu = initial_menus[i + 1]
      if next_menu ~= nil then
        sol.menu.start(sol.main, next_menu)
      end
    end
  end

end

-- Event called when the program stops.
function sol.main:on_finished()

  sol.main.save_settings()
end

-- Event called when the player pressed a keyboard key.
function sol.main:on_key_pressed(key, modifiers)

  local handled = false
  if key == "f11" or
    (key == "return" and (modifiers.alt or modifiers.control)) then
    -- F11 or Ctrl + return or Alt + Return: switch fullscreen.
    sol.video.set_fullscreen(not sol.video.is_fullscreen())
    handled = true
  elseif key == "f4" and modifiers.alt then
    -- Alt + F4: stop the program.
    sol.main.exit()
    handled = true
  elseif key == "escape" and sol.main.game == nil then
    -- Escape in title screens: stop the program.
    sol.main.exit()
    handled = true
  end

  return handled
end

-- Starts a game.
function sol.main:start_savegame(game)

  -- Skip initial menus if any.
  for _, menu in ipairs(initial_menus) do
    sol.menu.stop(menu)
  end

  sol.main.game = game
  game:start()
end

Also as a side note I do get the save and quit text so it shouldn't be because I don't have a language set

Thanks again for the suggestions and help

Development / Text box appearing when getting an item

Im probably missing something really simple but I'm following the tutorials and I'm trying to get dialog's to work right now when getting an item when opening a chest for example. In the tutorial it says to add sol.language.set_language("en") to main.lua but that didn't help at all and when I looked at a sample quest it didn't have that line of code in it either but still had text pop up when opening a chest and getting a sword. I also know I have the text setup in dialogs.dat the exact same as in the tutorial. Has something changed since the tutorial and I need to do something different to get dialog's working?
