General conversation and NPC's advice

Post » Fri Aug 17, 2012 4:18 am

Ive started a new thread to keep this away from the other advice I am asking for as this is pretty generic to any NPC I might want to develop. I am working on the marriage NPC at present and one thing that is noticable and irritating is that the player characters wife greets him regularly like any old joe in the street and has this Exorcist like ability to change her voice. Wierd lass.

I have a lot of lines of dialogue for her and want her to stop greet the player as someone close rather than a stranger in the street. How is this done?

She'll inherit a lot of dialog from her race and any factions, but you can probably avoid them by making sure she has a GREETING that's of higher priority than the others. There can be multiple ones, with the "Random" tag on, just remember to supply a Random end on the last one, or she'll fall through to the regular random ones. Check her dialog tab after you define them, to make sure they show up first.
