Any way to write all your text in a file, then have it load certain sentences when you approach a character?

Say I have a text file like this:

Keenan
1. Sup dude?
2. Hey!
3. Hi there.

Ryan
1. Piss off!
2. Go away!
3. ......

And when the character collides with Keenan the game chooses one of the lines in Keenan's character word bank.

Basically I plan on having a huge amount of characters and I just wanted to write out everything in one spot.

 
Steve Zissou: Anne-Marie, do all the interns get Glocks?

Anne-Marie: No, they have to share one.

Lists may achieve that function, but I'm not sure how that would pan out... plus everyone here seems to have something against lists... INI's may also be usable, but that would be a mess... I'd say lists.

If you've got TGF, you can look at how I did it with gridquest. It processed an INI file to allow for one of X random strings chosen when talking to an NPC, and then a linear dialogue tree from that.

				could you not do it in a similar manner to a "choose your own adventure" book. you know, the ones where you have a passage of text then you have some options available to you. The way i would do it is to assign each character an ini file with the group [speech] in. in here have all your phrases as seperate items. you can then write your code to retrieve each item based on a chracters alterable value.
