Replying through dialogue/ Artificial Intelligence based

[isobellesophia]

Hello everyone.

Since many people asked about typed in coversation, i wanted to share it all of you.
This is called a typed in conversation or simply known as reply the character through dialogues.

This can be used in specific ways denpending on your game.
Note this is made by me, i hope this haven't been made yet, or maybe made it just today.

This also been familiarized to DDLC game named Monika's After Story or like that.
Maybe that is where you can speak to her whatever it is.
Note i didn't copied it, i made this by myself.

First, copy this. (Whatever where you want.)

Code: Select all

define user_input=[]

And then, this.

Code: Select all

label user:
    $ user_input = renpy.input(prompt = "Type anything you want!", allow="1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ /.,'?!")

    $ user_input=user_input.lower().strip()

    if user_input == "": #This will happen if there's no input.

        a "You didn't type anything! You have to ask a question first."

        jump user

If didn't type anything, the character may insist you to write anything. But lazy to manage this code so i decided to put that instead.

Here is the main one, where what word you should type in, the Charac will talk back at you.

Code: Select all

if user_input in ['Hello!', 'Hello', 'hello!', 'hello']:
    ###Put it in like...
    a "Oh hi! How are you?"
    jump user

Whenever the character finishes talking, it will lead back to the label user, to talk something else more.

To make it more advanced, here it is, if you want to put more of them.

Code: Select all

if user_input in ['Hello!', 'Hello', 'hello!', 'hello']:
    ###Put it in like...
    a "Oh hi! How are you?"
    jump user
    
    elif user_input in ['I love you!', 'I love you', 'i love you!', 'i love you']:
    a "I love you too! Hugs and kisses! <3"
    jump user
    
    ....And so on.

This is special, if you didnt implement a keyword, the character will say this instead...
(Note, make sure to PLACE this one in the very bottom of the labels above, or else it may break the dialogues.)

Code: Select all

label untype:
    $ randdiag = renpy.random.randint(1, 10)
    show m think with dissolve
    if randdiag == 1:
        a "That word is invalid..."
        jump user
    elif randdiag == 2:
        a "Wywisjdow is not a word!"
        jump user

It can be also indicated by date, month, and also hour!

Code: Select all

init:
    $ import time
    $ year, month, day, hour, minute, second, dow, doy, dst = time.localtime()

Code: Select all

if user_input in ['What time is it?','what time is it?']:
        show a normal with dissolve
        a "The current time is [hour]: [minute]: [second]."
        jump user

Code: Select all

if month == 12 and day == 25:
        if user_input in ['Merry christmas!','merry christmas!','merry christmas','Merry christmas','Merry christmas alia!','merry christmas alia!','merry christmas alia','Merry christmas alia','Merry christmas Alia!','merry christmas Alia!','merry christmas Alia','Merry christmas Alia']:
            show a happyclosed with dissolve
            a "Merry christmas too [name]! Its good to talk to you this season!"
            jump user

    else:
        if user_input in ['Merry christmas!','merry christmas!','merry christmas','Merry christmas','Merry christmas alia!','merry christmas alia!','merry christmas alia','Merry christmas alia','Merry christmas Alia!','merry christmas Alia!','merry christmas Alia','Merry christmas Alia']:
            show a concerned with dissolve
            a "Umm.. i think its not christmas yet, you can wait."
            jump user

Also, a specifical answering.

Code: Select all

default goodmorning = False

Code: Select all

if user_input in ['Good morning','good morning','good morning!','Good morning!']:
        $ goodmorning = True
        show a happyclosed with dissolve
        a "Good morning! Have you drank some water before you wake up? Say yes if you are."
        jump user

    if goodmorning:
        if user_input in ['yes!','yes','Yes!','Yes']:
            show a normal 2 with dissolve
            a "Very good! Keep doing on that, so you will be stay hydrated."
            $ goodmorning = False
            jump user

        if user_input in ['no','No','Nope','nope','not yet','Not yet']:
            show a think with dissolve
            a "I see, then drink alot of it, it is recommended everyday!"
            $ goodmorning = False
            jump user

It will be set to False after, so that the character wont speak it again and again.

And finally, a randomize conversation, this makes the character bit bored when you didn't type anything, the character will give you advices, game guides... etc...

Code: Select all

if user_input in ['random','Random']:
 $ randadvice = renpy.random.randint(1, 20) 
 show a normal 2 with dissolve 
 if randadvice == 1: 
 a "I really love candies, you know?" 
 jump user 
 elif randadvice == 2: 
 a "Come on, say anything, ask anything!" 
 jump user 
 elif randadvice == 3: 
 a "Hmm? Whaddaya keep staring at me?" 
 jump user 
 elif randadvice == 4: 
 a "Im bored, wanna talk something?" 
 jump user 
 else:
 a "How are you? Anything to do?" 
 jump user

(Sorry for the line indention, i was in my tab.)

I hope you find it helpful to use it, i made alot of effort on doing it.
Have fun coding!

[HotMango]

Wow
This is so helpful, it could be added in a visual novel but to make it more realistic that would take time.
Thank you so much!

[isobellesophia]

I will be giving a example script soon, so newbies will be followed step by step, thanks for using.

[verysunshine]

If a string is modified with .lower, all capital letters become lower case. Besides that, this looks like some very useful code.

[isobellesophia]

I added a random conversation when the user types 'random/Random' here it is.

Code: Select all

if user_input in ['random','Random']:
        $ randadvice = renpy.random.randint(1, 20)
        show a normal 2 with dissolve
        if randadvice == 1:
            a "I really love candies, you know?"
            jump user
        elif randadvice == 2:
            a "Come on, say anything, ask anything!"
            jump user
        elif randadvice == 3:
            a "Hmm? Whaddaya keep staring at me?"
            jump user
        elif randadvice == 4:
            a "Im bored, wanna talk something?"
            jump user
        else:
            a "How are you? Anything to do?"
            jump user

I considered this by giving user a guide, random events, or maybe etc...
Have fun!

This might be what I've been looking for. Unfortunately I've not been able to get it to work. Below is an example I've created. Any idea why it does not function?

Code: Select all

define user_input=[]
image office = "office1.jpg"
label start:
    scene office
    "Welcome!"
label user:
    $ user_input = renpy.input(prompt = "Type anything you want!", allow="1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ /.,'?!")
    $ user_input=user_input.lower().strip()
    if user_input == "": #This will happen if there's no input.
        "You didn't say anything. You must be the strong siolent type."
        jump user
if user_input in ['hello','Hello','hi','Hi','howdy','Howdy','yo','Yo']:
        "Hi. Do you want to ask me anything?"
        jump user
    elif user_input in ['cow','cows','Cows','Cow','milk','Milk']:
        "That is not my cow."
        jump user
    elif user_input in ['sword of power','Sword of Power']:
        "What!?!?!??!"
        jump sword
label sword:
    "You know of the sword of power? You must be the 'chosen one' bla bla bla..."
    "The End"
    return

[isobellesophia]

I want to ask, what is the error? And could you be specific why it doesn't function? I would like to know if i can fix this.

[Paul Kinsella]

I want to ask, what is the error? And could you be specific why it doesn't function? I would like to know if i can fix this.

I get this error:

Parsing the script failed.
File "game/script.rpy", line 15: indentation mismatch.

line 15 is "elif user_input in ['cow','cows','Cows','Cow','milk','Milk']:"

I think you can test my code for yourself if you replace "office1.jpg" with any background of your choosing.

[isobellesophia]

Check your indention lines in 4 spaces.

[isobellesophia]

To be specific, the if and the elif must be lined up perfectly.

[Paul Kinsella]

I changed my code to this...

Code: Select all

define user_input=[]
image office = "office1.jpg"
label start:
    scene office
    "Welcome!"
label user:
    $ user_input = renpy.input(prompt = "Type anything you want!", allow="1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ /.,'?!")
    $ user_input=user_input.lower().strip()
    if user_input == "": #This will happen if there's no input.
        "You didn't say anything. You must be the strong siolent type."
        jump user
if user_input in ['hello','Hello','hi','Hi','howdy','Howdy','yo','Yo']:
        "Hi. Do you want to ask me anything?"
        jump user
elif user_input in ['cow','cows','Cows','Cow','milk','Milk']:
        "That is not my cow."
        jump user
elif user_input in ['sword of power','Sword of Power']:
        "What!?!?!??!"
        jump sword
label sword:
    "You know of the sword of power? You must be the 'chosen one' bla bla bla..."
    "The End"
    return

And got this error...

Code: Select all

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

You need to make a path for the image specificily.

Code: Select all

image office = "images/office.jpg"

[Paul Kinsella]

I removed the image to simplify the code. Now it SHOULD work. But the game ends if you type in "hi there" or "nice cow" rather then just "hi" or "cow". The game also ends if you type gibberish "dhfjjstybh4" or something not listed such as "I'm a brave knight looking for a magical weapon?". It would be nice if the player could say anything with "cow" in the sentence, such as "You have a nice cow." and have it go to "That is not my cow."

Code: Select all

define user_input=[]
label start:
    scene
    "Welcome!"
label user:
    $ user_input = renpy.input(prompt = "Type anything you want!", allow="1234567890abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ /.,'?!")
    $ user_input=user_input.lower().strip()
    if user_input == "": #This will happen if there's no input.
        "You didn't say anything. You must be the strong siolent type."
        jump user
if user_input in ['hello','Hello','hi','Hi','howdy','Howdy','yo','Yo']:
        "Hi. Do you want to ask me anything?"
        jump user

        "That is not my cow."
        jump user
elif user_input in ['sword of power','Sword of Power']:
        "What!?!?!??!"
        jump sword
        label sword:
        "You know of the sword of power? You must be the 'chosen one' bla bla bla..."
        "The End"
        return

Read the example of my post above carefully, this one would appear if the words aren't listed in the codes.

[Paul Kinsella]

Read the example of my post above carefully, this one would appear if the words aren't listed in the codes.

I have read your example serval times and attempted to run it. Unfortunately I do not have the skills (yet) to understand. The best I could do was make my example as you see it. Could I trouble you to alter the example so I (and other new coders) can better understand what you want to explain.
