Suppose you have several NPCs, all of which have "DoItScript" attached, and within that script is a called script i.e. startscript "doThisTooScript".

You don't have to use the fix in the first script, but do you then have to use an id fix in the called script?

No, the second level script works as targeted as well. Have no idea how far this propagation goes. Of course, just like with first level targeted scripts, you must keep in mind that there can be only one running copy of the script, so in must be finished before you get the chance to speak with another NPC that might launch it.

Thanks, that helps a lot! Your help is certainly appreciated...
