NPC Bark Help

[DingleMcDonglic]

I haven't the slightest idea on how NPC barks work in the geck, but if i want to give my companion a little more depth/life I'm going to need to do it the right way. So after looking up tutorials and what not with no help in sight I decided to see how Obsidian did it. I saw the way they got Cass's barks to work so I tried myself. I am using powerup and I get no saving errors so the script "seems" fine. My guy just won't talk when he's in certain in-game regions.

If someone could help me by pointing out the flaw in my script that would be very helpful.
