dialogs in the INI file ?

[unwired]

hi all

in LANGUAGE REFERENCE there is no example for WriteINI and ReadINI.

the syntax of the ini file is the standard INI file like in windows?

[ODBC 32 bit Drivers] <- this is the section
SQL Server (32 bits)=Installed <- this is the Key

so in adventure maker i can put dialogs in the INI file like this ?
[SCENE 1]
dialog1 = Hello how are you

true ?

what does it involve in a long game if there are permanent access to the INI file ? is it dangerous to use such a technique in term of hardrive work .. loading time (looking for section and key in the file may be long ?)

thanks for any help.

Hi,

You can download Tic-Tac-Death or the EZTalk demo where the Simon game uses the ini-file to write a sequence.

Tic-Tac-Death uses ini-files to keep track of scores.

I'm sure you will find all the answers you seek there, ready to use.

Good luck,

Kind regards,

thanks for your help. i looked at Eztalk code.
i want to display a dialog from the ini file so i tried this :

Code: Select all

CurrentDialog = Action.ReadINI ("dialog.ini", "CH001" ,"CurrentDialog" & CurrentDialog)
Text(1).Caption = "Score: " & CurrentDialog

or this

Code: Select all

Action.ReadINI ("dialog.ini", "CH001" ,"CurrentDialog" & CurrentDialog)
Text(1).Caption = "Score: " & CurrentDialog

but it doesn't work ... here is my ini file :

Code: Select all

[CH001]
00001=hi
00002=how are you

my goal is to display "hi" in a Message ...

edit : sorry it works i simply did not named the KEY
