hi. i'm editing a dialog for my quest but the topic related to that quest doesn't appear ingame. it isn't filtered for anybody in particular, just for the region the quest is in. when i check dialogs in the CS for 1 of the characters placed in that region it is there, but ingame it isn't in the list of topics. do i have to force it there through a script or something? i've read tutorials but i can't seem to find what i'm doing wrong. anybody recognise this problem?

thanks!

You'll probably need to have the topic added for your PC. You can do that by scripting addtopic on a doOnce basis or you can put addtopic in a known topic with random or particular NPCs in the results box.

but quests that are already there that start with dialog (take vodinus nuccius ring quest for example) that topic is there to start with. i can't post a script to every NPC in the cell can i?

Just make a little global:

Begin my topicscriptshort doOnceIf ( Menumode == 1 )	ReturnendIfIf ( doOnce == 0 )	addtopic "my topic"	set doOnce to 1	stopscript mytopicscriptendIfend mytopicscript

then add this script to your starting scripts or put startscript mytopicscript in a results box of a related topic if you want.

that did it for me!
thank you

This will also work fine for a global script as it doesn't matter if the topic is added multiple times.

begin mytopicscriptaddtopic "my topic"stopscript mytopicscriptend

Hey, that's a lot shorter... thanks for the tip!

I think topics only get added once, so Yacoby's script won't cause any problems. I use that in my own mods and I've only seen a topic show up once no matter how often the script itself is called (it's once every time I load a game).
