Hey there. I noticed in the WeiDU readme that conditionals inside chains are possible, and I've got them to work on a few things I've done. From the readme :

    == IMOEN2J  IF ~!PartyHasItem("pepperoni")~ THEN
      ~I can't decide. Never mind, I'm just gonna have yogurt.~
    == BJKLSY IF ~!PartyHasItem("pepperoni")~ THEN
      ~(sigh)~
EXIT

I just wanted to know, is the same thing possible in a multisay? I mean, let's say I wanted a character to talk about wings. Would it be possible to do something in one multisay that would lead to the following dialog :

Foo : Hmm ... I like wings.
Foo : They remind me of chicken
Foo (but only if Aerie is in the party): Did you have wings like a chicken Aerie?
Foo : I like chickens too.

I don't think so. But why don't you just write the dialogue as a CHAIN with only one person?

Purely out of abject laziness because having the chains at the end of the .d file always offends my sense of aesthetics

Seriously, that was exactly my solution. I just wondered if I was missing something easier, as I frequently do

Sometimes when I have a lot of CHAINs in a file then I have a copy of the CHAIN as a comment in the 'correct place' in the dialogues. Makes it easier to remember what the hell I was doing when I come back to it.

Ah, good idea, and one my badly-organised mind would never have come up with.

Thanks
