Is it possible to trigger a Dialogue Package event in a script?

[DoctorZ]

I'm working on a quest script with a timed event, where the player have a limited amount of time. I'm looking for a way to trigger the conversation to continue with the very same NPC after X seconds. I know there's something to do with Dialogue Package but is it possible to call it from a looping quest script?

You can do it via package, but I find it to be a PITA.

Instead, I usually use startconversation.

i.e.

if xyz
actorref.startconversation player topicname
endif

 

It's a lot easier to trigger on demand, I find. Especially if you put it on a trigger box.

If you do use the dialog package, you script it this way:

 

actorRef.Addscriptpackage Packagename
