I'm making a mod to do follower commands via hotkeys, and I would like to ideally have the npc say their typical line when you say, try to trade. Getting their inventory open is straightforward, but how would I go about getting htem to talk? Preferably using the DialogFollowerScript quest or whatever other means I can to make it generic and universal?

You can use the http://www.creationkit.com/Say_-_ObjectReference function.

You sir are a saint. Spent probably 3 hours fumbling around looking at a thousand different things, no idea how I missed that.

Next question which I assume the answer is no to... is there any way to detect if nothing happens?

I guess I'll have to make seperate function calls depending on if I hope/expect Say() with a specific topic works and if not, resort to the generic no-feedback method I had before.
