CHAIN EXIT and what follows

[shaggie]

Hello,

Could you please help me with that? It drives me mad...

Code: [Select]

CHAIN
IF ~~ THEN NPC1 20 // dialogue one
   ~Blah blah.~
   == NPC2
   ~Blah?~
   == NPC1
   ~Blah!~
EXIT

IF ~Global("NPCQuest","GLOBAL",7)~ THEN BEGIN 200 // dialogue two
   SAY ~Blaaah!~
   IF ~~ THEN DO ~SetGlobal("NPCQuest","GLOBAL",8)~ REPLY ~Bleh.~ EXIT
END

The CHAIN block and IF ~~ THEN BEGIN dialogue block are separated - the second one isn't a continuation of the CHAIN block. These are two completely different dialogues that appears in different moments of gameplay. Or, I'd rather say - they should. They are just in one .d file, that's it.
When I'm trying to compile the .d file, syntax error appears - "near text: IF" in the line just after the CHAIN's EXIT. I know how to handle with this, if "IF ~~ THEN BEGIN" dialogue is a continuation of the previous dialogue block - but it isn't in this example. I don't want to use CHAIN again, because it's just a simple talk between NPC and character. Also I don't want to change the order of these two dialogues.
Please help me... I know the solution is pretty simple, but it looks like I'm too dumb... :/

Thanks in advance,

CHAINs have to go after all your IF ~~ THEN blocks, at the end of the file.

Or, you can use an APPEND statement to get back into the flow of creating normal single states.

Oh, what a relief. It worked. Thank you.
