I'm making a program designed to create conversations, so each don't have to be individually coded, saving a lot of time, I hope. This involves multiple inputs asking you what you want the npc to say, and then input a set of responses, etc. I want the responses and npc prompts to be posted real-time. But, for some reason, the text containing the responses and promps will NOT appear until all inputs have been completed. Also, I want to be able to type within the inputs "\quit" or "\endconv" and have a check, searching each input for those or other commands. How can I fix the text/input bug, and what command is used for searching a variable (hopefully the Input$? that way i can put the check in a function, saving a lot of time, not having to check each individual variable)

Here's some sample code.

launcher$=""
funcname$=""
npc1$=""
r1$=""
r2$=""
r3$=""
npc2$=""
quit=0
Graphics3D 1280,1024,32,1
SetBuffer BackBuffer()

Function check()
If Input$="quit" Then quit=1
End Function

While Not quit=1
RenderWorld

;createconv
launcher$=Input$("WELCOME TO THE SW:WRH CONVERSATION CREATOR. FOLLOW GIVEN INSTRUCTIONS. TYPE 'quit' AT ANY TIME TO QUIT WITHOUT SAVING YOUR CONVERSATION. HIT ENTER TO CONTINUE")
funcname$=Input$("What would you like the Function name For this conversation To be? ")
check
npc1$=Input$("What would the first thing the NPC says be? ")
Text 1000,0,"npc1= " + npc1
check
r1$=Input$("What do you want response1 to be? ")
Text 1000, 15,"r1= " + r1
check
r2$=Input$("What do you want response2 to be? ")
Text 1000, 30,"r2= " + r2
check
r3$=Input$("What do you want response3 to be? ")
Text 1000, 45,"r2= " + r3
check
