So I've noticed in zdoom in UDMF format within doom builder 2 there is a dialogue script where acs is. I looked it up and supposedly it's a system used in strife to make dialogue easier to program. I was wondering how dialogue worked in multiplayer zandronum. Does the dialog only effect the activator or if someone activates the dialogue script does it pop up the dialogue window for all player? Also can anyone link me to a tutorial on how the dialogue script works? Thank you.

You could look at how stronghold does it and what optional stuff you can do.

You can also use the dialogs to give or take inventory to/from the player. It happens both in strife and stronghold.

Last time I tested the dialogue code in UDMF, it simply wasn't read at all by zandronum. Anyone knows if this is different in 2.0?

Dialogue code was always read by zandronum.

However, be aware that there are certain features that downright refuse to work in multiplayer at all. Strife demonstrates that. While I am not sure on the specifics, do extensively test any and all dialogue related things in multiplayer.
