How can I make a Random conversation variable.

[Markmid]

How do I make a conversation with a Random Percent chance built into it, i've tried a simple GetRandomPercent <= 50 on one topic and a GetRandomPercent > 50 on the other, in the topic conditions, however nothing was visible.

 

Is there anyway to make a random conversation variable, which is randomized every time an NPC initiates dialogue with the player or another actor? I guess that is what I am looking for, a function that fires on each dialogue, which I can place into a script.

 

I need a random dialogue function, to stop the dialogue from getting stale on my companion. Thanks for the help!

 

 

I will keep this post updated with what I have tried

 

 

set questID.questvariableID to rand 1 100

 

Rand not recognised

 

set questID.questvariableID to random 100

 

Random not recognised

Update:

 

Dialogue randomising is working now using the menumode code below but now his follow script has broken I don't know if its related, so alternate ideas are still appreciated on the central problem. I would prefer not to have code related to menus and such if I can do this through another method

Found one that compiled but its not having the desired effect yet, my idea was to put this in all my characters greetings scripts to randomize the subsequent text.

 

set questID.questvariableID to ( GetRandomPercent % <2..50> ) + 1

 

 

set variable to GetRandomPercent

 

Will supposedly give a 1 - 100 value but again the problem is where to put this to get the greeting text randomised.

 

 

begin MenuMode 1009

set variable to GetRandomPercent

end

 

MenuMode 1009 is the dialogue menu, this works to randomize dialogue if you put it in the actors script file.

 

 

Anyone have any better ideas while I try and get this one working?
