NPC-(mod) NPC banters, finally understood how it works :) Options

[jastey]

Hi everyone,
I have somehow troubles to get a working script for banters between my mod-NPC and the ingame NPCs. Before I start scanning through the existing mod-NPCs (in the hope to identify the banter-triggering script), how is your banter script? Could you post it here for me? Is there a tutorial somewhere? (There are some for writing the banters, but how are they called?) Do you have banters that are started by the BioWare NPCs, and how did you script those?
Thanks!

EDIT: I'm asking for BGII, btw.

The value in parenthesis does two things:

1. Dictates whose name appears in the scrollback as saying the REPLY lines

That's what I don't understand: Doesn't that mean that "ActionOverride(Player2,Interact(Player2))" makes Player2 do all the talking? With the portrait of player2 for every text?

No. It ONLY.

ONLY.

ONLY.

affects REPLY lines. Those things that appear and say

1. This is a good reply.
2. This is an evil reply.

etc.

It means that in the scrollback, the words "This is a good reply" will be assigned to whomever is inside the parenthesis.

Look at it this way: do you really think I'd ship that code and have received no massive glaring bug reports over the past two years if it meant that you'd only see one participant talk during a banter?
