Syntax error with SayToDone.

[becauseofreasons]

ScriptName MerrittDialogueScript

begin GameMode
	if MerrittREF.GetPlayerTeammate
		if (GetObjectiveCompleted nVPrimmDeputyConv 20)
			MerrittREF.StartConversation Player vMerrittDialogueMerrittTopic018
		endif
	endif
end

Writing a new companion. I'm intending for it to check for some quest objectives once the player talks to Johnson Nash about having cleared out the Bison Steve. Not running, the issue appears to be with the "Begin SayToDone" block. I'm getting back into modding after a long absence, so if anyone has some advice, it'd be greatly appreciated.

 

EDIT: Rewrote a chunk of it and it's working at the moment, but I'd rather use a SayToDone instead of a GameMode for performance reasons. Any ideas as to what traditionally causes a syntax error with the SayToDone block would be greatly appreciated.

 

I'd like to use this instead, but it's not working.

 

ScriptName MerrittDialogueScript

begin SayToDone JNashHowLaw
	if MerrittREF.GetPlayerTeammate
		if GetObjectiveCompleted nVPrimmDeputyConv 20
			MerrittREF.StartConversation Player vMerrittDialogueMerrittTopic018
		endif
	endif
end

SayToDone is triggered only by the Say/SayTo commands. It will not trigger when selecting the topic while in dialogue mode.

They've also gotta be called in the same script as the say/sayto, and only on the object script of the actor themself.

Thanks! Pretty depressing it doesn't work whenever a dialogue topic is executed, but at least I now know what I was doing wrong!

 

Cheers.

It can work if you tick the Goodbye flag in JNashHowLaw (meaning it will terminate dialogue) and use the END result script to start the conversation with Merritt.
