    OK!
    Allow me 2 explain....
    What im trying 2 do here is this....
    Im trying to create a conversation between two npc´s.
    The only way i can think of right now is 2 get them 2 use loads o float lines....
    Thing is.... While thats goin on i would sorta like the pc 2 be static and not able 2 move...

    If u sorta dont get what im askin ill give u an example o the kinda thing im tryn 2 do.... Plz bear wit me, i always jump in at the deep end so im always gonna make things hard 4 myself :)

    Now....

    Pc starts game in a cell.... A cell in the middle of two others.
    A dwarf dead in the cell to the east, and two dwarfs in the west.
    Now, i would like the game 2 start with the pc just getting up...
    As pc getting up, a woman walks into view and stands in front of the cell...
    Dialogue begins between woman and pc....
    Then pc try´s 2 scare woman...
    So as to make an example of her power, she calls out the dwarf npc out of his cell. (one of the two dwarfs on the west). they enter dialogue, (pretty much her sayin sum badass stuff b4 she uses disintergrate on him). She laughs, his brother in the cell cries, runs out 2 kill her himself, he dies, lol and there is where i will stop 4 now...

    Now first off, i know how 2 make things happen automatically now, sort of anyway using a heartbeat. Im starting 2 get the know how on how 2 make an npc walk sumwhere... Im guessin when she calls the dwarf out of the cell she can use unlocking cantrip on the cell and unlock it, that or ill give her a key... Then the convo between her and the dwarf.. Bear in mind that they are both npc´s... And to make it even harder like i said b4, i would like the pc not 2 be a ble 2 move while all of this is happening!

    And by the way, the reason i called it old style rpg is because u never really see a conversation between npc´s in a really good rpg anymore.
    I mean, that was the bit u all used 2 wait 4 in final fantasy right? U wanted 2 see president rufus shout the odds at heidegger right!?

    Meh, anyway, i hope sum1 has an idea that could help me lol.
    Ill keep on messin wit scripts and world ed and lookin at the arcanum module in the meantime.
    By the way, when i can get my own credit card i will without a dought be tryn my best 2 help keep this site runnin lol.

    Thanx 4 ur help people!

    Virgil and the crash site assassin have a conversation. Check out how Troika did it.

    Undat the main game files (the ones that end in .DAT).
    Load up WorldEd.
    Check what scripts are attached to Virgil and the assassin at the crash site.
    Look over these scripts.
