TWP: Recap/hints when changing characters are not shown

Description

Original bugreport: https://github.com/scemino/scummvm/issues/19

When you change character (especially if you loaded a save) the game should occasionally show a recap of the situation, or subtle hints on how to proceed (e.g. Ransome should say something about entering the factory to recover his prototype doll).
This doesn't seem to work currently in scummvm.

Hi, do you have an example of this ?
I tested the daily build and I confirm the recaps are still there (rare but present).
You can have some hints depending on the game time like this:

if (user_selected && g.act1 && gameTime() > _last_crime_nagtime+(15*60)) {
 startglobalthread(@() {
 breakhere(2.0)
 if (incutscene() || indialog() || actorTalking(actor)) return
 
 if (currentActor == actor) {
 if (actor == ray)   sayLine(ray,"@40119")
 if (actor == reyes) sayLine(reyes,"@40120")
 _last_crime_nagtime = gameTime()
 }
 })
 }

In this example you can see that the agent will say a line every 15 minutes.

Thanks for the reply,
this bugreport is old, at the time in the 2/3 playthroughs that I completed I've never seen one of these messages.

It's probably fixed now, anyway I intend to do another full playthrough soon to capture some screenshots for the website, I can check if this is indeed fixed
