How would I go about scripting a Choice within a Choice (Dialog)?
So if Choice1 is selected, if the player has more than so and so rep then create a new choice via this script. please help, link me to a wiki also that will help me with dialogs
script.Parent.DialogChoiceSelected:connect(function(player,choice)
local humanoid = player.Character:findFirstChild("Humanoid")
if not humanoid then return end --End the function if the humanoid isn't found
local stats = player:FindFirstChild('leaderstats')
if not stats then return end
local rep = stats:FindFirstChild('Reputation')
if not rep then return end
if choice.Name == "Choice1" then
wait(1)
rep.Value = rep.Value + 2
elseif choice.Name == "Choice2" then
wait(1)
rep.Value = rep.Value + 1
elseif choice.Name == "Choice3" then
wait(1)
rep.Value = rep.Value - 1
end
end)

First off, lines 7 and 9, along with FindFirstChild at lines 6 and 8, are useless, unless you don't add those right after a Player instance is added.
Second, findFirstChild is deprecated (but you may have put that one by mistake judging by lines 7 and 9)
Here's the improved script you inputted:
script.Parent.DialogChoiceSelected:connect(function(player,choice)
if not player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then return end --End the function if the humanoid isn't found
local stats = player.leaderstats
local rep = stats.Reputation
if choice.Name == "Choice1" then
wait(1)
rep.Value = rep.Value + 2
elseif choice.Name == "Choice2" then
wait(1)
rep.Value = rep.Value + 1
elseif choice.Name == "Choice3" then
wait(1)
rep.Value = rep.Value - 1
end
end)
Third, here's the idea, at another script in the main Dialog instance:
script.Parent.Changed:connect(function(property)
script.Parent:FindFirstChild("Choice4"):Destroy() --Remove locked choices initially
if workspace[property] == true then
local player = script.Parent.Parent.Player.Value --In a LocalScript, get the player to change that value
if player.leaderstats.Reputation.Value >= 5 then
local choice = Instance.new("DialogChoice", script.Parent) --Makes a DialogChoice parented to Dialog
choice.Name = "Choice4"
choice.PlayerDialog = "Lololol u so nub"
choice.ResponseDialog = "You are such a huge jerk sometimes, you know..."
end
end
end)
The rest is up to you. Hope i helped!
HOLD IT! Referring to the returned property itself doesn't do much when you refer to it without property; you instead refer to it's value otherwise. So, instead, use
if workspace[property] == true then
as InUse (or however that property was to called) will probably be the only property that changes that is a boolean.
