I have a chat system in my game, but it creates quite some lag due to the high memory content of it. For each message, I have an individual trigger and block code, which takes up quite a bit of memory. I want to create a chat system that only requires 1 trigger. I’m guessing it has something to do with properties but idk how. Will reply back in a few hours.

Could you just use popups? Your call to action channels could be saying one thing, or moving on to the next option

Yeah, that is way more efficient than a 550 memory per message, but this is the only issue:
# = message > = option for next or send
#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>#>
^what you want to sayYes… I don’t see an issue here…
Could you not just make a pop-up that is the top right and a list of popups?
I’m pretty sure pop-ups have a max buttons of 2.
This issue the code thing I made shows that for a specific message you want to send, you might have to press “next option” over 20 times or some other long amount of presses.
This isn’t really what I mean. My system has a set of Popup Call to Actions that, once you select them, it triggers a Trigger with some blockcode that adds a message to the activity feed. For example: Popup Call to Action (when selected ‘Hi!’) → Add Activity feed message ‘Hi!’ I’m looking for a way to confine all of these triggers into 1 trigger with one set of block code.

I think I understand what you mean, but can you give us screenshots of your current system?
Edit: I’m on a chromebook and don’t have a computer, so I can’t help answer that. ;-;

Maybe follow this guide and instead add a create text with block to the text property in the overlay code.

Wdym? I’m a little confused,
Can’t you have one pop-up call to action with all the options, and have it transmit on a certain channel when a player clicks on it?
or am I just dum

With pre typed chat messages? or where the player types them?

Pre-typed messages. Typing them would be too memory-intensive

I don’t need to know how to make a chat system, I want to know how to make my system more memory-efficient.
You wanted pre made messages
Umm, can’t you just make a pop-up and use the pop-up call to actions to make a list? just link each one to a notification. (I think I’m missing something about what you want…)
