getting reactions and attacking from a dialog

I was wondering how to get a npc to attack someone when in dialog with that person and the npc does not like the conversation? And also to lower or raist the reaction towards you.

I think it is the same thing - if NPC's reaction is 0 or lower, he should automatically attack you (although I'm not completely sure). To find out, just find a .dlg file of a dialog that you know for certain has a combat-initiating answer, and check how it is done... You sould probably check the same-named .scr file, just to be sure.

 

If you get Zammy's Dialog Editor, it will actually show that option as one of the reactions. You can have a reaction to lower or raise the NPC reaction to the PC and you can have a reaction to quit dialog and begin combat. Using that editor sure makes life a lot easier when you are writing scripts.

 

re

yes it does, Zammy is a great guy, hes done alot for the modding community. So, yeah if someones reaction is 0 or lower, they do automatically attack you, unless, you have some type of reputation that makes them not attack you.

Contrary to popular belief I actually do know some useful stuff.

 

If you put a "co" in the last pair of curly brackets (the "result" field) of a dialog line, it will terminate the dialog and start a combat. Read the goddamn edit docs. yes yes, read them

P.S. This probably overrides any reputation bonuses, as stated by treeizback

, although I have not tested that.

 

Thanks for the help. I ahve been reading them, but I am also trying to get the world map to work.

 

Well, that's what we're here for, eh? ;-)

 

Well one small thing... You might want to have the reaction lower to -10 to make sure gnomes aren't exempt.


Oh shit, I know someone was working on the Worldmap, but I forget the name of the guide...

 

If your thinking Zammy, I already have it. I am still working on the world map and I have not tried the reaction thing as of yet, with school starting and all. But thanks for the help.
