Mavia Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 This seems noobish, but I can't figure it out: Â Why is my Greetings topic for a new NPC not working? Â I have a Greetings topic with GetIsID (my NPC) == 1.0, no other conditions. It isn't used; instead I get the generic topic "What do you need?" This is with or without the NPC belonging to a faction. Â As a workaround, I've used top-level topics, but I'd rather have control over the greeting.
Guest user29 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Is the quest the greetings topic in active? You can also try setting the NPC's voice to "do not record"
DoctaSax Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Could also be related to the priority of your quest in relation to that of other quests.
Guest user29 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 right, if you don't give it a priority (just use 50) I don't think it'll show up.
DoctaSax Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 50 oughta do it, yeah - it just needs to be higher than that of the quests containing generic greetings for all npcs (15-20ish)
Guest user29 Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 is it the quest priority, or topic priority? Or both?
DoctaSax Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Quest priority. If various quests have lines for the same topic (ie greeting), the quest priority sorts out the winner, along with conditions of course. I think topic priority has to do with how high the topic shows up in the dialogue menu, ie the topic with higher priority will simply be earlier in the list of choices. (At least, that's what I read somewhere, never fiddled with that myself.) In any case, when it comes to greeting, that would be NA, and it's bad form to touch anything else relating to greeting (like addtopic), except for adding lines.
