Can there be interactive events?

[wotan321]

Could an event in game trigger a pop-up window that the human player has to answer a question, and the results change variables in the game?

Yes, check out the Great Statesman mod, it does just that.
Player presses an action button that causes a popup to be launched. This could be changed to something else really easily as well.

That sounds really, really cool.

Yes it does, thanks.

What files are involved in this? Is it done in the events file?

 

[TheLopez]

Basically it involves a custom events file and custom game utils file. You can easily use the great statesman mod to leverage whatever you need to do. I have tried to comment the code there as best as I could. If you have questions about it let me know and I would be more than happy to answer them.

I really do appreciate this help, it is very valuable.

Is there some tutorial on creating events? Or maybe a list of variables the game keeps up with? Triggers?

Thanks again.
