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.

Basically what happens is that the character joins the party in one area and then the cutscene moves the whole party to another area and commences dialog with DADROW18.

At the moment what is happening is that the character joins the party but no cutscene starts.

I am back to where I was several posts ago with no scripts running on the npc after rejoining other than DPlayer2.

Can someone point out to me which part of which 2da needs to be updated in order to assign a script to the npc.

As noted previously the personal script was on the npc before he left the party but obviously removed and not replaced when he rejoined.

bwtouchx is the DV (scriptname) of the npc.

I was under the impression that the personal script you assign to the cre when you create it or at install (as some do now) should stay on the npc throughout its life in SoA. The script is replaced by the 25Override script listed in pdialog.2da at the start of ToB. Am I wrong on any of this?

You're both probably right about the DADROW18 having to initiate conversation...I just can't get that far at the moment. I have changed the script so he starts the convo with player1. Thanks!
