Alright, here's my problem:

I have written out the dialogue file for an NPC following the instructions of a tutorial. Everything (to me anyway) looks like it's in place, but WeiDU keeps stopping the install when it runs into commands such as "DO" and "EXIT". If I remove the first one, it will get a little further and stop at the next. I have no idea why this happens (as I'm a total newbie to this). I'd post my code into a PM for someone who wants to see it (and help, not just see it!!!)

Thanks,
Carnifex

Well, I predicted having more problems. Here's the next one.

My character works perfectly when I create him using the CLUA console, but I can't get him to appear in the section he is supposed to be in. For testing purposes, I just copied the area script file provided by a tutorial (Ghreyfain's, I believe) and changed the names. Supposedly he should appear somewhere in the government district, but he doesn't.

So far I have not tried to enter the district in a normal manner. I just teleported straight from Chateau Irenicus to the government. Does the cut-scene upon leaving the dungeon somehow activate scripts elsewhere, or do I just have something typed incorrectly?

CODE
IF
Global("CXHalboExists","AR01000",0)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
SetGlobal("CXHalboExists","AR1000",1)
CreateCreature("CXHalbo",[1137.2046],3)
END


Also, could someone explain how the coordinates work? I've looked at the minimap in Infinity Explorer and the X/Y coordinates will not go as far as 1137 or 2046.

Thanks,
Carnifex
