This snippet will enable your mobiles to keep track of an instanced dialogue
for each character. It's similar to mpstatus, but, again, instanced to each
player character. As with any other snippet, I urge you to read it carefully
and make sure you know how it works before installing it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
mob_prog.c
----------
Add this with your other defines.
#define CHK_DIALOGUE (52)
Modify the numerical value to suit your needs.
Now, in the list of if-check keywords:
"dialogue", //if dialogue $n == 2 - dialogue stage check
Add this to the bottom of the last cmd_eval switch:
(mine is right below the CHK_GRPSIZE case)
case CHK_DIALOGUE:
if (lval_char != NULL)
{
sh_int dlg;
one_argument (line, buf);
if (!is_number (buf))
dlg = 0;
else
dlg = atoi (buf);
if (dlg < 0 || dlg > 24)
return dlg = 0;
lval = check_stage_char (mob, lval_char, dlg);
}
break;
mob_cmds.c/h
------------
Add a table entry for the mpdialogue command and a DECLARE_DO_FUN() for it.
merc.h
------
Add this with your other typedefs:
typedef struct dialogue DIALOGUE;
Add this structure anywhere:
struct dialogue
{
DIALOGUE * next;
bool valid;
CHAR_DATA * victim;
sh_int stage[25];
};
Add the following to struct char_data:
DIALOGUE * dialogues;
Finally, add the following prototypes:
// dialogue.c
int check_stage_char (CHAR_DATA * ch, CHAR_DATA * vch, int dlg);
DIALOGUE * get_dialogue (CHAR_DATA * ch, CHAR_DATA * vch);
DIALOGUE * new_dialogue (void);
void free_dialogue (DIALOGUE * dialogue);
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, add dialogue.c to your source directory and recompile.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This code is provided as-is without any warranty. It should work fine, but I'm
not responsible if something goes wrong (as things always do with mprogs). Any
credit or feedback is much appreciated, but not required.
Enjoy! -- Midboss (eclipsing.souls@gmail.com)

Here is a sample program, using mpdialogue:
if dialogue $n == 0
say Ok, we shall begin...
mob dialogue $n 1
break
endif
if dialogue $n == 1
say This is the first stage..
mob dialogue $n 2
break
endif
if dialogue $n == 2
say This is the second stage..
mob dialogue $n 3
break
endif
if dialogue $n == 3
say This is the final stage..
mob dialogue $n clear
break
endif
