Have you edited PlayState, if you have then show the lines mentioned in the error If not, what version are you using

I am using 0.6.2

These are the lines it points too case 'chocolate': startDialogue(dialogueJson);

if(dialogueFile.dialogue.length > 0) { inCutscene = true; precacheList.set('dialogue', 'sound'); precacheList.set('dialogueClose', 'sound'); psychDialogue = new DialogueBoxPsych(dialogueFile, song); psychDialogue.scrollFactor.set();

change startDialogue(dialogueJson) to startDialogue([dialoguefile]) [dialoguefile] is the dialogue file you're going to load

[TheJoetube]

change startDialogue(dialogueJson) to startDialogue([dialoguefile]) [dialoguefile] is the dialogue file you're going to load

when I do that it gives this error when compiling

source/PlayState.hx:1320: characters 21-33 : Unknown identifier : dialoguefile source/PlayState.hx:1320: characters 21-33 : ... For function argument 'dialogueFile'

[BernardoGP4504]

I said change [dialogueFile] to the file name of the dialogue file you want it to load

changed it to the file name but it gives more errors

[BernardoGP4504]

So i think something is wrong with the dialogue file itself

There is nothing wrong with the dialogue file, since it works when I try the Lua solution to making dialogue play before a song. Also I should have clarified that it gives errors when compiling, not in game.

[BernardoGP4504]

So then I think the variable dialogueFile is returning null or the game is not finding the file by the haxe method

Is there any way to fix it then?

[BernardoGP4504]

I don't know.

actually, the source version is broken. For now only lua works, I can confirm because I tried with source but to kept giving me a compiler error but with lua it works perfectly

Alright, guess I'll just use Lua until they fix it, thanks
