How to apply topic to all faction?

[sbbg]

Hi, all

 

I'm a rookie about modding. But I did do my best about googling around for possible information.

I made a new topic and want to apply them on all children.

But I just found out it doesn't work for the mini boomer. (I'm not sure about other children in other faction)

I tried my best to check all around GECK, actorBase or whatever until I got dizzy with my eyes painful.

Just couldn't find out why it's not applied.

 

* The topic show up in GREETING for mini boomer as well. That's why I feel so strange.

 

What could be in the way hindering my new topic for the children, I wonder?

May someone can suggest me about where to check, please? Thanks!!

What conditions are you applying to the dialogue? And what do you mean you want to apply it on all children? You should be careful about applying a topic to 'all' of anyone since other people may not want your dialogue topic to display on their NPCs. Similarly a vanilla NPC getting a random non-voiced dialogue topic may make people angry, let alone every child in the game getting an unwanted dialogue topic.

 

It always helps if you actually provide information about what the current state of your mod since we can't see it.

 

To show dialogue you will need to set the correct conditions and run an addtopic TopicID command unless it is a GREETING in which case it will run when you talk to them if the conditions are met.

 

To get a dialogue topic onto the Mini Boomer child you will need to give the condition getinfaction BoomerChildFaction == 1. If you don't have a GREETING topic where you can place the addtopic command you will need to create a quest and put the command in one of the quest stages, then create a quest script that will advance the quest to the appropriate stage (I have found that attempting to add the topic via a quest script is not reliable).
