[LE] Prevent player from exiting dialogue(Like Vanilla Courier).

[Deleted38846565User]

Hello everyone. The mod I'm currently working on has many forcegreets, which can cause problems if the player exits the conversation(By problem I mean completely break the mod's quest). a lot of mods have a similar issue, and I could just warn players not to exit conversations, but I'd prefer to find a fix if possible rather than making players play a certain way.

 

I realized a bit after that the Vanilla Courier has a similar function, when clicking Esc, it simply progresses the conversation instead of exiting, does anyone know how this can be replicated?

I'm not at a computer to check it right now, but I think they use a walk away trigger. So when you "walk away", aka hit escape, tab, whatever, it runs that topic choice.

 

Edit: Friend of mine tells me that's not it. Though that may be of some use. You could at least capture the walk away and run a fragment on another topic. Maybe to rescue the broken quest and do something at that point. Or fire back up another force greet.

You can disable the player keyboard activity in a quest fragment before the dialogue takes place then re-enable the activity at the end of the dialogue - Game.DisablePlayerControls(parameters etc) . Unfortunatetly I can't remember offhand what the parameters are but you set them to true or false. You will have to look up the commands.

Hmm, it's a start, though the only parameter I see that may work is menu, which would end up worse in the long run if combat starts. In this case the player would just have to wait until the aggressor kills them, and if the enemy dies then you're just stuck..

That might work, I could make the forcegreet stage repeatable and maybe try to rerun it? I'll have to give that a try tomorrow.
