Dialogue Elements not displaying

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

Its hard to see the truth when you've been blinded by lies.

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.

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:
<CATEGORY Name="Journal">
        <Entry Name="Note_First_Name">Test</Entry>
        <Entry Name="Note_First_Text">
            Test
        </Entry>
    </CATEGORY>

RE: Dialogue Elements not displaying

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.
