Symbolic labels in D files

[Wisp]

STATE_WHICH_SAYS is a TP2 action though. How would I use that in a D file? Can I do OUTER_SET myvar = STATE_WHICH_SAYS @123 FROM MYDLG in my TP2 file and then do EXTERN MYDLG myvar in the D file?

Essentially, yes. You mark up "myvar" as a variable by delimiting it with percentage signs and compile the D file with the EVAL option, to have variables evaluated.

D:

 

EXTERN some_dlg %some_state%

 

TP2:

 

OUTER_SET some_state = STATE_WHICH_SAYS @something FROM some_dlg
COMPILE "mymod/some.d" EVAL

Though you probably either want to use the alternate form of STATE_WHICH_SAYS or WITH_TRA, to avoid loading the TRA file for some_dlg into the global scope.

You can also check if a given mod is either installed or in your game folder, then search for states.

//1
OUTER_SET GW_Uhmer01_state_remise1 = STATE_WHICH_SAYS 11105624 IN ~Diamant_Eternel/tra/%s/GWQueleL.tra~ FROM UHMER01

//2
OUTER_SET GW_Mazzy_state_Stivan = STATE_WHICH_SAYS 232 IN ~stivan/tra/%s/tb#stivj.tra~ FROM MAZZY // @232 = ~I'd say we shouldn't wait any further and open our way in this place of evilness.~
