Re: ? about multiple answers from character.
If I understand you correctly, you're trying to get a "cycle" of dialogue so that the dialogue changes every time you speak to the person? Let me know if I misunderstood you. Also let me know if for some reason this doesn't work, and I'll go into the game itself and get the coding to give to you.
The simplest way to go about it would be like this...
Event: Wave's an Addict
Mode 1: Button or Touch
Dialogue: "Hi. I'm Wavelength."
Modify Mode: Wave's An Addict: MODE 2
Mode 2: Button or Touch
Dialogue: "You know, I'm really addicted to RPGM Pavilion."
Modify Mode: Wave's An Addict: MODE 3
Mode 3: Button or Touch
Dialogue: "I probably should be doing work right now."
Modify Mode: Wave's An Addict: MODE 4
Mode 4: Button or Touch
Dialogue: "Oh crap... is that the sun coming up?"
Modify Mode: Wave's An Addict: MODE 1
[If you don't want it to loop back to "I'm Wavelength," then delete the Modify Mode in this Mode 4.]

Re: ? about multiple answers from character.
hey thanks, i actually stumbled across it when i was trying different things, butt i have a new question for you.
okay so you (the main character) talk to someone they tell you to talk to everyone else in town. then when you come back afterwards they give you a special item. i know how to make them give you the item, but how do i make it so they only give it to you when you have done what they asked.Comment

Re: ? about multiple answers from character.
This is a case best dealt with through a val-conditional branch. Pick a variable, any variable will work, but an internal variable for the person offering the item is probably easiest to remember.
The item-giver would have three modes, one where they tell you to talk to everyone and offer the item. A second mode, which will contain the code for the val-conditional branch. And a third mode, which would only be set after you receive the item.
Each person in town would have two modes, one which adds one to the variable after you talk with them, and another for after you talk to them.
The first mode for each townsperson would look like one of the modes from Wavelength's post, except that it would also have an Increase Internal Variable code included as well. The second mode would be just a message (Or you can combine this with the previous situation, and start a message sequence).
The first mode for the item giver will look like the first mode from Wavelength's example. The second mode should look something like this (Assuming you use character 1's first internal variable and have 3 townspeople):
Val Conditional Branch
Branch 1 If Character 1 Internal Variable 1 = 3
Message: "Here you go"
Receive Item: Mystery Box
Add mode: Item Giver
End Branch
Branch 2 If Character 1 Internal Variable 1 <= 2
Message: "Talk to more people"
End Branch
Mode three for the item giver would just be a message saying whatever you want it to say after the item has been given.Comment

OR 4 modes so that between talking to him the first time and talking to everybody he can yell at you that you missed someone.A God from the Machine - Menander

Magus, its amazing how much you and I agree on. I love doing exactly that! Atleast I did for the first two towns, it just gets tireing after awhile, that and the memory constraints.Originally posted by MagusMartovich View Poststodi no na ka cenbaComment

Re: ? about multiple answers from character.
Hence why I recommended that particular method. It saves memory for REALLY important stuff, like storytellers.Atleast I did for the first two towns, it just gets tireing after awhile, that and the memory constraints.Comment
