Another NPC dialog Q

[Georgiegril]

OK, so I fear this question has a totally obvious answer that I am missing. I have spent all morning trying to find it on my own, reading tutorials, forums etc, no luck. So I am humbly begging for the help of someone who is wiser than me....

 

I want to change the dialog conditions of my 3 Kajiit merchants in my house mod, so they are not constantly spouting the "jewels wares, weapons" and similar lines They are based on various other Kajit merchant characters and inherited the dialogue from them.

So I pulled up the dialogue box, filtered for my character, and the first thing I tried was to change the hours to reset for one of the lines. I selected my character in the "speaker" pull down menu.

It appears that what that did was give the line ONLY to my specific NPC, and remove it from the options of all the other characters that previously had that line (other Kajiit)

 

Next I tried to change the condition to tie it to my house mod, but that also had broad affects on the other Kajiit merchants.

 

Surely I am doing something wrong. It must be possible to make adjustments to existing dialogue for 1 NPC only? Thank you for your patience and help!

Are your Kajiit NPCs using a custom faction in which only the three are included?

Make a copy of the default merchant faction for Kajiit NPCs(Give it a unique ID).

You should be able to 'copy' and add the dialogue you want so it only affects NPCs in that faction.

Doing it this way shouldn't effect other NPCs who are not in your custom faction.

 

 

Sorry I can't give you more details on this, but I hope it helps a little.
