Help with a Text Appears When... Please...

[Legacy_henesua]

               Shiek, the reason the modified scripts that I gave you didn't work is because you added return TRUE to the bottom of each one. You needed to add return FALSE; instead. Each conditional script should return either TRUE or FALSE.

So for an NPCs conversation text it works as follows:
If a conditional script returns true, that particular conversation node is selected. Therefore the other conversation nodes will not be checked.

if a conditional script returns false, the conversation node is not selected. Therefore the next node will be checked, and the process repeats.

               why must you return true or false specifically??

why not in halfling detection simply write;

return ( GetRacialType (GetPCSpeaker()!= RACIAL_TYPE_HALFLING );

or when detecting phenotype on the next npc line;

return (GetPhenoType(GetPCSpeaker()) == PHENOTYPE_BIG);

why bother declaring variables if you dont need them?

               Roddish, each of those statements return the equivalent of either TRUE or FALSE.

Since Shiek is using Lilac Soul's script generator it didn't seem worth while to provide code as concise as yours.

               that'll teach me to not read code comments. again. lol.

but on the other hand, it cannot harm to know that there are more efficient ways to do this, offering actual code help to users who possibly only work with wizards can only help them solve their own problems going forward. or at least thats what i hope '>

i guess i'm just too used to trying to reduce my own workload. please pardon my clumsy posting
