is there a way to make custom dialogue about the passage of time?

[bugbuns]

I have a character who's perks activate throughout the day, is there any way for them to talk about this change in some way as a sort of feedback for the perk activating?

Hey hey, not great at coding but I have a character that does something similar.

If you're watching the world phase and have your function run only when the time of day changes, you can just add something like this to the part of your function that enables the perks:

Quote

inst.components.talker:Say("Your dialogue would go here.")

Or if you want it to be neater you could do it like this:

Quote

inst.components.talker:Say(GetString(inst, "ANNOUNCE_PERK"))

...and then write the dialogue for ANNOUNCE_PERK somewhere, like your character's speech file or somewhere else you have strings listed.

Provided your function only runs when the phase changes between day/dusk/night the character should only speak when the change happens.

Hope that works with what you have.

I went with the first option and it worked perfectly! Thank you!!
