How can I force an NPC to talk to me when I get within a certain distance?

My objective is to come back from a quest to find my quest giver dead and have someone standing over him talk to me.

Cheers in advance.

Shadowform.

you'll want to have this on the script of the NPC in question

if (GetDistance, "player" <= 200 )    forcegreetingendif

you'll want to nest this if block in a "doonce" variable, and make sure it does not run in menumode.

adjust the number for getdistance as needed.

Thanks. How cam I also add a Journal block too? Eg, to only activate when I certain Journal entry is met?

yes you can indeed.
