I wonder if anyone has seen this and knows what's going on?

I have a set of NPCs in a levelled list, in a particular faction. I want them to simply say a line of dialogue when the player tries to talk to them. Seems pretty simple.

In my GREETING, I have the line of dialogue, flagged as 'goodbye', and it is conditional on the NPC being in my special faction. I have also set it up so that the NPC plays an idle animation during the dialogue.

When I attempt to talk to them, the idle plays but there is no dialogue. If I remove the idle, nothing happens at all. So, clearly the game is attempting to execute the dialogue, but something is stopping the words from actually appearing.

As far as I can see, there is nothing particularly special about these NPCs. The only things slightly unusual are that they are in a levelled list, and the dialogue is conditional on a faction, but I also have a levelled list of my own special scavengers who correctly play the dialogue I have assigned to them based on their special faction.

Any ideas what might be stopping the dialogue from appearing?

You've not recorded any voice for it? Turn on subtitles.

If you have 'goodbye' ticked in the greeting, all you will get is the sound played - if it's not voiced, you will just see the animation, and no subtitle.

Thank you! I never even considered that. :foodndrink:
