LE Initial contact dialogue with actor

[Elias555]

Trying to force an actor to say something the first time they see the player at a distance. Which option is best? I thought detection normal to alert but I think that only applies to hostile actors.

You can add it as a hello, which will fire when the player gets close enough. If you want them to seek out the player and say their line, then you would just make it normal player dialogue and convince with a forcegreet or saytoplayerpackage.

I guess the hello method will have to do. How do I force that one to play first, once and never again? I have 3 'hellos' that have the random checkbox ticked.
