so i pasted the newer version for DR to play with smile
the prob you where having before was the gettoken was using wrong dialog id
ie
if ($did isnum 211-221) {
%pirates.play = p lockpick|p stamina|p troll|p Info|p Power|p Level|p Insult|p Davy Jones|p brig|p weapon|p rob
%pirates.name = $?="enter pirate name $crlf or blank for your self:"
%pirates.did = $did - 210
%pirates.play = $gettok(%pirates.play,%pirates.did,124)
%pirates.play = %pirates.play %pirates.name
}
as you can see i had to add a %pirates.did = $did - 210
to get the id to change to the token number
it was looking for token 211 instead of token 1

any way the sail portion of the new dialog is eventualy going to be a tab

but its hard to edit ina tab so i just left it on the main screen till i get all the commands set up thinkin there will ba a tab for store / tavern commands 1 for captain commands
and maybe 1 for shipwright may be 1 for fighting that will have a drop down for ship names

do you know how to add items to a combo box?
also do you know a way to pull nicks in to the script by just highlighting then in the nick list ?

ie highlight a nick in nick list and press the duel buton and have it fill in the nick after the p duel

this has been a blast learning dialogs thanx for the opportunity smile
