How to make a creature have dialogue?

Can anyone explain how to give a creature dialogue? I know it isn't the same as normal npc, and you have to do something special with the filter, but thats about it. Any hlep?

You have to set the id to the creatures ID iirc. You can take a look at creeper for an example.

I looked at creeper and the only thing I got from it was that I need a script like this?
begin scampScriptshort scampGreetshort noloreif ( scampGreet == 5 )	set scampGreet to 0endifEnd  scampScript


Is that all I have to do?

No. That isn't it. If you look at creepers dialog, you see that all the dialog lines he says have his id set.

Oh, I see it now. So all I have to do is make the dialogue, then add the creatures id as the normal npc id? There isn't anything special I have to do?

That is correct.

(99% sure it is that. Long time since I have done any dialog)

The only difference is that a creature will only use dialog assigned specifically to its ID not, for example, dialog spoken by everyone in Balmora. One result of this is that in order to talk to a creature at all, you must give it a specific greeting.

So i just have to make a greeting and attach a creatures id to the id blank then?
