[Suggestion] Importing examine conversations
Using tricky variables, it's possible to do something like this, but it'd be very helpful if one could import the examine conversations from one investigation location to another (when there's repeat locations etc). It'd save a lot of busy work, especially when there's places with a LOT of flavor-text in the examinations.
Re: [Suggestion] Importing examine conversations
I actually only end up using 4 extra frames and the methods "Proceed to another frame, Hide Frame, and Reveal Frame" to do this very simply without a need for variables
In your repeat location, on the examine conversation you want to be a copy of the previous, create 3 frames with wait times of 1, let's say these frames IDs are 100,101, and 102. In the original location, in the examine conversation you want to copy, create a hidden frame with a wait time of 1, let's say ID is 103.
In frame 100, have the action to reveal frame 103. In frame 101, proceed directly to the start of the conversation you want to copy. In frame 103, proceed directly to frame 102. Frame 102 hides frame 103 again, in case you return to that location and returns to back to the new location.
A simple explanation would be to have it take you to the original conversation, and have the original conversation take you back to your new location.
To "import" a conversation would probably require them to copy the conversation, which would increase the data of the trial, so it's much more efficient to do something simple like this.
Hope that helps c:
