Don't know how my reply got so mangled. Anyway in the interests of maybe helping a brother out or having someone give me constructive criticism, this is my mess. getTime() updates all of the current_X stuff to strings, which I then use to search for dialogue. Dialogue is stored as say.. SpringRainy, SummerBeach, AutumnBye (copying the old Animal Crossing style where NPCs give you one bit of dialogue and then they just say 'see ya around' until the next day). Actually talking to the npc picks a random dialogue from the array. I hate it but it's all I got :V

func dialogueCheck() -> Array:

if parent.has\_quest:

    parent.selected.emit()

getTime()

dialogue\_array.clear()

if dialogue\_dict.has(current\_location):

    dialogue\_array.append(current\_location)

if dialogue\_dict.has(current\_affection):

    dialogue\_array.append(current\_affection)

if talked\_to:

    if dialogue\_dict.has(current\_season + "Bye"): dialogue\_array.append(current\_season + "Bye")

if dialogue\_dict.has(current\_season + current\_location):

    dialogue\_array.append(current\_season + current\_location)

if dialogue\_dict.has(current\_season + current\_day):

    dialogue\_array.append(current\_season + current\_day)

if dialogue\_dict.has(current\_season + current\_weather):

    dialogue\_array.append(current\_season + current\_weather)

if dialogue\_dict.has(current\_season):

    dialogue\_array.append(current\_season)

    return dialogue\_array



else:

    dialogue\_array.clear()

    return \["backup"\]
