Dialogue Elements not displaying - eagledude4 - 03-24-2013

I tried to add a hint text to a locked door, but nothing displays. (Tested in custom story, not dev user)

Code:
SetLevelDoorLockedText("momdoor", "Hints", "MomDoor");

Is it true that any text dialogue can't be seen while testing as a dev user? (not through custom story)

Is the door you're using it on a level door?

Only if it doesn't show for you while in a development environment. Not everyone has that issue.

It's not a level door, no

Well, that function only works on level doors.

Alright, I'll use a SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback instead then.

In what circumstances do lang entries display in a Dev environment?

EDIT: Hint displays using SetEntityPlayerInteractCallback while NOT in a dev environment.

I Still can't get my journal entry to display. I put "First" in the DiaryText box of the note:

Code:
<CATEGORY Name="Journal">

        <Entry Name="Note_First_Name">Test</Entry>

        <Entry Name="Note_First_Text">

            Test

        </Entry>

    </CATEGORY>

Make sure that the entity in the level editor is a note, not a diary. Then write "First" where it says NoteText.

Thanks. I changed it to a note, and now the page displays, but no text.

My attempt to figure that out was a failure; i could not reproduce the issue on my side. Until the issue is resolved, you'll have to use a regular profile to test notes, hints, etc.
