Can you invoke passive dialog through Papyrus?

[asdasd123123]

I was wondering if there's a script function on the actor object that would allow me to do say.. myActor.say("Hey there! Welcome"). I'm guessing there's some dialog registry system though just due to how dialog is processed..

 

I'm new to creation-engine

Dialogue (as you see it in the vanilla game) is handled through Quests in the CK. See here.

Does that link also cover the passive dialog? Like when an NPC is just passively talking to you, but not WITH you?

It can (and usually does). A lot of the rest is either done through AI packages (also covered in the CK wiki I linked) and scenes (ditto).

1) Create ForceGreet AI Package 

2) Give it insane activation range like for example 8192 units

3) Give it Topic You want to start

4) Place Actor somewhere far away from player ( its also worth to make actor looking like static - just google )

5) Actor will automaticaly start dialogue with player as soon You spawn him

 

he will continue forcing player to talk as long he dont finish his Ai Package or as long You dont remove that Actor 

 

at least thats why i was using long time ago...

 

//Edit:

about point 3... You can use Sin / Cos functions to place Actor lets say 4096 units away from player

or just use +/- option... but if you use Sin / Cos with random angle and then mutiple that by 4096 units 

then You will spawn that actor 4096 units away from player on random point on that circle

 

( Sin( random ) * 4096 ) + Player.x

( Cos( random ) * 4096 ) + Player.y or maybe Z... tbh i dont remember... i always have to fuck with CK Coordinates xDD

i simply can't remember which is left / right or up / down xDD

 

//Edit2:

Actualy its gonna be math.sin and math.cos :x...

 You have to call those functions from Math in Papyrus...
