Forcing greetings..

[beanspan]

I'm helping a friend work on her mod, and we've got an NPC who we want to approach the player, to advance the quest without the player having to click on them. Like when the guards run up to arrest you for a crime, dialogue is initiated regardless of the player's action.

 

I seem to remember from the Morrowind days that there was a 'forcegreeting' command but as best I can tell that is not valid for Oblivion.

I think your looking for something along the lines of an ''ambush'' atleast it's classified like that.

That's a start :) any idea how I could go about setting up this necessary greeting as such?

try the "startconversation" script command. If I understand what you want to do, then this should work.

use a dialogue ai package with the player as the target...
