Get Actor Gender Terms

[coolperez8]

So, here's how the plugin works.


1.Each actor can be assigned a gender through their note tags. In the plugin config you can choose actors to be male, female, or gender neutral by default. A 0 for the gender value indicates the actor is gender neutral, a 1 indicates the actor is male, and a 2 indicates the actor is female. Alternatively, you can also set it to N, M, or F respectively. When using a specific key phrase when writing game dialogue, it will give a term pertaining to the actor's gender. There are several key phrases by default. The phrase syntax is as follows:
\G[actorIDhraseID]


Here are some examples of phrases when using the syntax, assuming the actorID is 1.
\G[1:0] N:they, M:he, F:she
\G[1:1] N:they, M:him, F:her


\G[1:2] N:they, M:his, F:her
\G[1:3] N:neutral M:male F:female


Also, with this plugin you can also add more genders and assign them letters if you wish to be like Tumblr.

While this seems simple enough I have to ask "why do you need this?"


This is not to be mean. An understanding of that can also help with the creation process.


For example in my mind this type of script is something you use if you are having someone custom create their character and want to get the right pronoun for them BUT i can think of two ways to create a character. One that can take advantage of notetags but is cluttered in the database and another that could use either plugin commands or a variable with a string to achieve this desired effect.


As one of the potential users that can help fulfill this request i would like to go over those specifics with you to make sure what you're asking for is right for your project.


Please dont take offense to that.

Because in my game, there is certain dialogue where it would be appropriate to refer to the actor by their gender, and this would help me speed things up without having to program dialogue for every actor in the game.


Example 1:


"I really like Ricky! He's a good fighter!"


Example 2:


"I really like Molly! She's a good fighter!"
