//1) NPC appoach PC and initiate a conversation.
//
//2) I know this has been covered in the OnPerception in the past. But I found that with all the different NPC's that I had in the area, those scripts didn't //work. The NPC trying to initiate the conversation would sometimes get off track and try and talk to other NPC's. This was my sollution. This is 99.9% //stolen from Bioware, but it definately serves its purpose well.
//In the OnHeartbeat:
//Courtesy Bioware. Edited by TheUglyOne.
//This is an OnHeartbeat Script
//This searches for a PC within visual range who this NPC hasn't initiated
//dialogue with. If one is present, the NPC will display a one line string
//overhead.
//Once conversation is initiated and the PC has hit continue at least once,
//The local int "Stop_Convo" + <tag of this character> should be set to TRUE

void main()

if(IsInConversation(OBJECT_SELF) == FALSE)

int bFound = FALSE;
int nNth = 1;
object oPlayerInSight = GetNearestCreature(CREATURE_TYPE_PLAYER_CHAR,
PLAYER_CHAR_IS_PC,
OBJECT_SELF,
nNth,
CREATURE_TYPE_PERCEPTION,
PERCEPTION_SEEN);
while (GetIsObjectValid(oPlayerInSight) && bFound == FALSE)
{
if(GetLocalInt(oPlayerInSight,"Stop_Convo" + GetTag(OBJECT_SELF)) == FALSE)
{
bFound = TRUE;
}
else
{
nNth++;
oPlayerInSight = GetNearestCreature(CREATURE_TYPE_PLAYER_CHAR,
PLAYER_CHAR_IS_PC,
OBJECT_SELF,
nNth,
CREATURE_TYPE_PERCEPTION,
PERCEPTION_SEEN);
}
}
if(bFound)
{
ActionMoveToObject(oPlayerInSight);
ActionStartConversation (oPlayerInSight);
}
}
}





This gets put in an Actions Taken of the conversation tree. So that you dont end up in a conversation loop.




void main()
{
SetLocalInt(GetPCSpeaker(),"Stop_Convo" + GetTag(OBJECT_SELF),TRUE);
}




Again, I can't take any scripting credit here, its all Bioware for the most part, I just edited it a tensy bit to suit my purpose, and make things a tiny bit clearer.
