Dialog options question

Hi guys.

I would like to know if there is some kind of tool, or any solution to the following problem.

In dialog - let's say i have between 5 to 12 possible options to reply from (NOption). the number of NOptions is decided by my speech skill, so if i have lets say 100% speech then i have 12 options to choose from.
if i have 12 options to choose from, then i don't have space in the dialog box to see the other options.
problem is, without knowing in advance how many options i have, i can't insert a [more options] NOption without manually figuring out a specific formula to use so that the [more options] NOption will be available every time, regardless of how many NOptions i suppose to have on screen.

Got it? Sorry for asking so confusingly.

Appreciate the replies.
 
You'll have to write the script in a way that there will never be more than 10 dialog options MAX. Actually I think by default it's even just 9 dialog options. You also have to take line-length into account, because double-line dialog options obviously reduce the amount of possible options as well.

There is no tool or anything to take this away from you.

Personally I think if you constantly have to worry about crossing the max. dialog option limit, then the problem lies in the way you write your dialog.

In reality there's not a need to give too many options. An "Ask me about" menu is used for these scenarios. Subcategorize your choices.
