Need suggestions how to set up training instructor's dialog

Post » Tue Mar 12, 2013 6:27 am

OK, so I have 3 practice dummy stations set up and next to where to each soldier either shoots their bow or practices melee, I have another patrol route where my Captain of the guard walks between each station. I have each of his patrol markers set for 20 seconds or so, and everything works perfectly.

Now, what I would like to do is set it up so that while my Captain is at each of his patrol markers I'd like for him to bark out a series of random training instructions to the soldiers at the targets.

Everything is set up on conditioned packages so at the appropriate time the soldiers stop their normal patrols and go to the training stations for 4 hours. They alternate between another set of 3 guards and patrol 4 hours and train 4 hours and rinse/repeat until time to sleep. (Such is the soldiers life I suppose, lol.)

Someone mentioned setting this up as a scene, and I've already got a ton of scenes in my mod, so setting it up is no problem if this is the way I need to go. What I'm puzzled with is how do I script the scenes (I would need 2 scenes) to start and stop every day like I need? I need it like this:

Scene 1 - Start 6AM for 4 hours

Scene 2 - Start 10AM for 4 hours

Scene 1 - Run again at 2PM for 4 hours

Scene 2 - Run again at 6PM for 4 hours

FYI, as I mentioned, I've done a TON of scenes, I just start all the ones I have by a trigger, quest stage or dialog. Nothing like this, lol. Also, do I need to create a separate quest form to handle these scenes? If I put them in a quest form that will eventually stop, the scenes will stop along with the quest, right?
