Cutscene not starting Options

[Rabain]

I have the following problem with a cutscene. It's probably something basic but I'm just not seeing it.

The npc is not in the party when pc starts talking to him but was previously:

In the P dialog:

CODE

IF ~Global("bwtouchnopay","GLOBAL",2)!GlobalTimerExpired("bwtouchnopayt","GLOBAL")~ notearnedindrow
SAY ~Blah blah.~
+ ~PartyGoldGT(9999)~ + ~Yes, I have changed my mind.~ DO ~SetGlobal("bwtouchnopay","GLOBAL",3)SetGlobal("kickout","LOCALS",0) JoinParty()
~ EXIT
+ ~PartyGoldLT(10000)~ + ~I simply do not have the money.~ EXIT
++ ~You will have to make do on your own.~ EXIT
END

Then in the npc's script:

CODE

IF
Global("bwtouchnopay","GLOBAL",3)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
      StartCutSceneMode()
      StartCutScene("bwtoumov")
END

But the cutscene doesn't start, it doesn't even go into cutscene mode. I've tried starting it all in the dialog and not in script but that doesn't work either. The npc does join the party though.

The bwtoumov cutscene is compiled and looks fine.

The game assigns scripts when a character joins the party based on the 2DA files. Make sure the 2DA files are correct for your NPC (so that the game can assign the script and dialogue files that your NPC should be running).

Dialogue automatically ends cutscene mode, so it doesn't matter where you put EndCutSceneMode() (or even if you use it at all).

Player1 doesn't really ever have a dialogue file assigned, so your StartDialogueNoSet() isn't going to do anything (as HERD suggests, you want DADROW18 to initiate dialogue with Player1).

Make sure that "bwtouchx" is a valid script name. If it's not a character that's in the party, you need to move it to AR2200 with the party (using MoveBetweenAreas()).
