Automatically end dialog

    Hi,

    there is one thing i would like to includ into my game.
    I have in every dialog "ending dialog option", to i couldn't get stuck in the dialog, but it's annoying when i start a dialog and there is no dialog option to choose, but i need to end the dialog anyway, or when i click on the last dialog option and no options left, i need to end the dialog.

    So the idea is something like if statement - if there is no more dialog options / there is no any options - end this dialog.

    Is there option to detect these things in Visionaire?

    Is in Visionaire a function to check how many dialog options are currently in the dialog available?

    I think there's a way of checking how many dialog options are currently displayed on the screen. Not sure about checking the total amount of dialog options in the current dialog.

    Maybe you could setup some kind of if query using a value. In the execute / call action part of each dialog option you could add an if value = x then end dialog else value + 1. I guess either method has its drawbacks. The one I'm suggesting would mean more work for you.

    Sebastian.204 posted this script for counting a dialog options

    function cdo()
  local dialog_options = game.GameDialog:getLinks(VDialogDialogParts)
  local count = 0
  for i = 1, #dialog_options do

count = count+1

end
  print(count);
end


    But can i somehow quit current dialog with lua?

    And there is still the thing that i would need to call this function automaticly after every dialog part without assign it manually in all dialogs.

    while this script works only when a dialog is shown and not in the time when a character talks between two dialogs it is difficult to run this function when it is needed... No hook for dialog start or dialog end...

    For me when all dialog parts are used (and deleted) the dialog goes one node higher. I assume when also no dialog options are available in the root dialog, then it ends automatically...

    I forgot to mention i have always one fixed dialog option "End dialog"
    Doesn't work for me i get stuck in the dialog forever if i don't have this option.
    So if there is no any other option to ask means if the counter gets 1.
