Chances are you all know this but I am going to say it out loud in case some don't.

If you select multiple lines in a conversation using ctrl+click then you can change the properties of all of those lines at once. So ... you could click all lines spoken by Bert in a cut scene and assign them to Bert, same with listeners, lipflappers, node frequency, delay .... it goes on.

I knew you could do this with multiple selected blueprints and tiles in an area but had not extrapolated this to conversations.

So all that time spend opening each line and associating it with a person, or setting the camera, or assigning delays was very much time I am never going to get back

Hey ho.

i think i happened across this when doing some very involved plotting in a (now defunct) module with tonnes of dialogue. 

 

but it has been so long since i really bashed on a project, that it is good to hear and be reminded - since my current project is in the dialogue phase now.

I didn't know this.  This will save me time.  Thanks!

I didn't know this. Definitely a good find.

Wow, I didn't know this either!  Definite time-saver.  You should add this to the toolset tips and tricks thread.

In that case I am happy to have helped.

It almost makes me want to do some more conversations ... almost but not quite.

This is going to make my life so much easier. 

 

I've been doing nothing but area design for Chapter 1, hoping to have most of the areas done before I launch into the rest of the work. I'm thrilled to know this. When it comes time to write dialogs... wow. Gonna like it.

Nice trick. I often copy/paste a line or a group of lines in order to keep the properties.Useful when two NPC are talking to each other.

It never occurred to me to try this.

Bloody hell... this is going to save me a LOT of time, as I have a lot of cut scenes with multiple speakers and listeners, where they cross over a lot.
So it's not A speaks to B so much, but A speaks to B, who speaks to D, who speaks to A, who speaks to E, who speaks to D, who speaks to A who finally includes C, who then tells the player something... 

 

FANTASTIC!

Thanks for pointing this out.

Hi PJ156,

Thanks for this tip. Like most others, I too was unaware of this one.

Well worth posting.

Lance.

I'll never get all that time back! *sob*

 

Thanks for the spot

Just to expand on this.

 

If you ctrl select multiple lines you can also link them all to another (select link destination) line at the same time with insert link.

 

Just a small time saver but every little helps.

 

If anyone else has some convo tips it would be great to hear them.

You can copy paste line or group of lines from one to conversation to another, including from module convo to another module convo.

 

Interesting when you want to keep same logic flow and same conditions, for instance different NPC about an investigation, or companions convos at different stages of the mod.
