Visitable Dialog System (Witcher/Skyrim-style): VisitableDialog.js

Description
Allows you to remember selected dialog options in the Show Choices command, and marks them visually with a different text color. It's similar to how RPGs like Witcher or Skyrim handle dialog: once you choose an option, it becomes "greyed out" (or any other color).

Features

• Tracks selected dialog options per map, event, and dialog ID.
  
• Once selected, a choice line is recolored (you can choose the colors).
  
• No switches or variables needed: the plugin uses self switches internally.
  
• Includes a global utility function to check dialog state from anywhere.
  
• Tag any dialog choice in the game with <Seen: dialog_id>.
  
• Auto-mark or manual mark

How to Use

• Drop the plugin into your project’s js/plugins/ folder
  
• Load it through the Plugin Manager
  
• Customize the plugin parameters:
  
  
  
  • Tag name (default is <Seen: dialog_id>)
    
  • Visited color
    
  • Override \c[0] (boolean)
    
  • Override \c[x] (boolean)
    
  
  
• Tag any "Show Choices" options with <Seen: dialog_id>
  
• The dialog_id must be a one-word string or number, with no spaces, punctuations, or special symbols. Underscores are allowed.
  
• The dialog_id must be unique to the event. It does not need to be unique globally.
  
• Except if you're using it in an autorun/parallel common event, in which case it needs to be unique to the map.
  

Example (Show Choices event command):

• <Seen: intro> Who are you?
  
• <Seen: ruins> Ask about the ruins
  
• Goodbye.
  

Selecting the first or second choice will mark them as 'visited', and they will be re-colored the next time you visit the dialog choices.


To check if a dialog has been visited, the plugin provides a global function called                                 JavaScript:       

This is so you can use them in conditional branches, e.g:
                JavaScript:       

You can also use the short-hand (if used within the same event):
                JavaScript:       


Manual and Auto-Marking
By default, tagging a choice with <Seen: dialog_id> will automatically mark it as visited upon selecting the dialog. But sometimes, you may not want that.

The plugin also introduces a <$Seen: dialog_id> (with a '$' at the start). This will ensure that the dialog is NOT marked as visited automatically upon selection (but still shows the correct color). You have to manually mark it later, using:
                JavaScript:       

Reset Marking
You can also reset a dialog to its original state using:
                JavaScript:       


Plugin Commands
For your convenience, two plugin commands are also provided:

• Set Dialog as Visited - remotely sets the "visited" flag for any dialog option
  
• Clear Dialog Visited Flag - remotely clears the "visited" flag for any dialog option
  

Compatibility

• Works well on the MZ engine.
  
• Works well with VisuStella plugins (Message Core, etc.)
  
• Has not been tested with other plugins
  
• Has not been tested on MV

AI Disclaimer
This plugin was created by me without the use of AI tools. I am using it in my own game. AI was only used to write documentation and JS Doc comments in a clean and readable manner.

FAQ
Q: Why isn’t my dialog being tracked?
A: Make sure the <Seen: dialog_id> tag is present in the choice text and that dialog_id is a valid one-word string or number with no spaces or punctuations.

Q: How do I manually mark a dialog as visited?
A: Use <$Seen: dialog_id> to disable auto-marking. Then use $setDialogVisited(mapId, eventId, "dialog_id") in a script whenever you want to mark it.

Q: I want to use normal game switches (e.g. 101, 112, 312, etc.) to track dialog choices. Can I use it?
A: Yes, the plugin supports it. But please read the help file carefully and only do it if you fully understand the risks.
