I got this error "unknown script or function:variable_instance_exsist" along with a couple others all starting with "unknown script or function:" when using the updated version of your dialogue system. I did some googling and I think this is a function in GM2 not GM1, which is casing the error. Is there a versio of this for GM1 I could replace it with?

Thanks!

Hey - that's weird! That function does actually exist in GM1. Could you send me a screenshot of the error so I can see it exactly? (It may be that it's what you're GIVING the script is what it has a problem with.) Also - did you change anything after importing, or does it throw an error as soon as you run the demo?

Here's the error when I just open the file in game maker. Also I should note, I'm pretty new to game maker and I could just be doing something wrong.

Hmmmmm, what version of GameMaker Studio are you using? Is it 1.4?

I am indeed using game maker version 1.4

Then I'm stumped :(! It definitely comes up for me as an existing function (you can middle click on a function to bring it up in the documentation).

Though, I've done some googling and noticed that it's listed in GMS2 as a new function... perhaps they only recently added it to 1.4 as well? So the only thing I can think of at this point is to make sure you've installed the latest version of GMS1.4.

I apologize, I rechecked and I'm actually running 1.3. I updated to 1.4 and now it does work. So sorry I made you go through all that and it was completely my fault. Thanks for being so through in helping me though. :)

Ah thank goodness!! So glad we solved it. Don't feel bad, I've done things like this so many times before! And I bet someone else is going to run into this problem in the future, so this will help them :).
