Just need a quick tutorial on how to chat with a terminal to update my lab level.

for terminal type in

Code Select Expand

say(x)
blablabla

for viridian, type

Code Select Expand

reply(x)
blablabla
x = how many lines, blablabla is an example. leave a blank line after all say or reply commands.

[Dav999]

Use the say(x) command to make a text box of a terminal, x is the number of lines. reply(x) is a text box of , and again, x is the number of lines.

For example:

Code Select Expand

say(2)
This is a text
box with two lines!

reply(3)
That's great!
This terminal is
really talking to me!

say(1)
That's right!

If you have 2.1, you can also use different colors for the say command to make other crew members speak.

Code Select Expand

reply(2)
Vermilion, can you
hear me?

say(2,red)
This is Vermilion!
I can hear you!

reply(1)
Yay!

Some other commands:

happy -
sad -
destroy(gravitylines) - removes gravity lines from the room you're in, they get restored again if you enter the room again
destroy(warptokens) - removes warp tokens from the room you're in, they get restored again if you enter the room again
delay(x) - x is how many 'frames' to wait, 30 frames ≈ 1 second
music(x) - changes the music
flash - boom
flag(x,on/off) - turns flag x on/off, x can be a number from 1-99
ifflag(x,script) - if flag x is on, go to script.
iftrinkets(x,script) - if you have x trinkets or more, go to script.

There are also destroy(platforms) and iftrinketsless(x,script), but these don't work like they should.

And I just noticed that RoskillaHULK!! was earlier, but whatever.

Actually, yours is better.

Thank you, but is there a way to change music by any chance?

[Dav999]

music(x) - changes the music

It changes the music to any of these:

0 - Nothing
1 - Pushing onwards
2 - Positive force
3 - Potential for anything
4 - Passion for exploring
5 - Presenting VVVVVV
5a - Cutscene radio
6 - Predestined fate
7 - Popular potpurri
8 - Pipe dream
9 - Pressure cooker
9a - ecroF evitisoP
10 - Paced energy
11 - Piercing the sky

Also, how do you have a normal crewmate chat?

Also, how do you have a normal crewmate chat?

You need 2.1
You use

Code Select Expand

say(x,crewname/colour/#) I don't know what number equals what, though.
To use terminal again

Code Select Expand

say(x,grey/gray/terminal)
This doesn't work, you need to load a new script.

If you want to know about all commands in the editor, see this thread: Script commands index and tips.
I noticed that it's on the 2nd page (if you have the default number of topic per page). You may bump it. I think it should always be on the 1st page.
(Why was I the 1st one to think about linking to that thread? You didn't need to write all that!)
Also, music(x) in which x is 5a or 9a (or other expressions...) are glitch exploits, just a note.

Yes, but those two are more like sound effects than songs.
