Ok, i'm really bad at coding. I'm especially new to GODOT and am trying to make a 2d game. I've been able to set cant_move to false when dialog is playing, the problem I'm having is making cant_move true again. I don't even know where to put done = true on the dialog script (I kinda just put it in a random place and hoped it would work). Here is my dog-shit code. (the solution is probably easy im just really dumb)
npc script
`extends Area2D
var done = true
func _ready():
Global.npc1 = self
func _exit_tree():
Global.npc1 = null
var can_interact = false
const DIALOG = preload("res://dialoguebox.tscn")
func _physics_process(delta):
$AnimatedSprite.play()
func diaplay():
if done == false:
Global.player.can_move = false
print("test")
if done == true:
print("test2")
can_interact = false
Global.player.can_move = true
func _on_Area2D_body_entered(body):
if body.name == "player":
$Label.visible = true
can_interact = true
func _on_Area2D_body_exited(body):
if body.name == "player":
$Label.visible = false
can_interact = false
func _input(event):
if Input.is_key_pressed(KEY_E) and can_interact == true:
done = false
diaplay()
$Label.visible = false
var dialog = DIALOG.instance()
get_parent().add_child(dialog)
dialog.position = $Position2D.global_position
dialog script
extends Control
var dialog = [
'sampletext',
'sampletext2',
]
var done = false
var dialog_index = 0
var finished = false
func _ready():
load_dialog()
Global.DialogBox = self
func _exit_tree():
Global.DialogBox = null
func _physics_process(delta):
$"Ind".visible = finished
if Input.is_action_just_pressed("ui_accept"):
load_dialog()
func load_dialog():
if dialog_index < dialog.size():
finished = false
$RichTextLabel.bbcode_text = dialog[dialog_index]
$RichTextLabel.percent_visible = 0
$Tween.interpolate_property(
$RichTextLabel, "percent_visible", 0, 1, 1,
Tween.TRANS_LINEAR, Tween.EASE_IN_OUT
)
$Tween.start()
if dialog_index >= 0:
Global.npc1.done = true
else:
queue_free()
done = true
dialog_index += 1
func _on_Tween_tween_completed(object, key):
finished = true
If I understand correctly, you are opening the UI with this code:
var dialog = DIALOG.instance()
get_parent().add_child(dialog)
dialog.position = $Position2D.global_position
So add the instruction to make can_move false there (Global.player.can_move = false).
And apparently it is all done here:
queue_free()
That is, the UI is removing it self. When the UI removes itself, it exits the scene tree, we are going to take advantage of that. Connect the tree_exited of the UI to a func that sets can_move true again:
Global.player.can_move = false
var dialog = DIALOG.instance()
dialog.position = $Position2D.global_position
dialog.connect("tree_exited", self, "dialog_exited")
get_parent().add_child(dialog)
func dialog_exited() -> void:
Global.player.can_move = true
That should do.
Alternatively you could create and emit a signal to notify when the player can move again. Refer to the documentation about signals.
Addendum
I think I got what else is not working. Look at load_dialog:
func load_dialog():
if dialog_index < dialog.size():
# ... some code ...
if dialog_index >= 0:
Global.npc1.done = true
else:
queue_free()
done = true
dialog_index += 1
The first check (dialog_index < dialog.size()) is if there is more dialog text. If there isn't then it is done. So change it to this:
func load_dialog():
if dialog_index < dialog.size():
# … some code …
else:
Global.npc1.done = true
queue_free()
done = true
dialog_index += 1
I hope that makes sense.
You also mention you got an error in Global.player.can_move = true, I suppose that happened with closing the game, that code ran, and Global.player was no longer valid.
Regardless of the situation, you can check if the player is valid:
var player = Global.player
if is_instance_valid(player):
player.can_move = true
