Custom NPC conversation

[cowmasterstudios]

Has anyone figured out how to create custom Text Dialogue for NPCs?

 

I want to work on a quest that involves talking to an NPC, but can't until i figure this out :(

 

Thanks for any assistance! :D

Dialogue is tied to a quest, so what you need to do is open the quest in GECK, and go to the dialogue from there. Then add a topic: right click on the list of topics and choose the "Add Topic" option. The Select Topic window will open, but since you want to use a new one, right click in the list that appears, choose 'New', and enter the unique name (= Editor ID) of your new topic.

You can make it specific for a certain NPC by setting the condition to GetID 'NPC name' = 1, and of course you can also set quest states here as conditions.

 

If this goes over your head, open a mod that includes dialogue in the GECK (like Saving Nova or my Dialogue Tweaks) and look in the Filtered Dialogue for one of the NPCs with new dialogue, so you can see how it's done.
