How to find conversation that gives an item? (newbie Q)
« on: January 12, 2016, 02:37:02 am »


               

Hi guys,


 


I need to find a specific conversation in which a certain item is given to the player, but I'm not sure which conversation it is (there are hundreds). So, how do I search all conversations/scripts for this item? (I know the Tag/Blueprint ResRef of the item, and its name)


 


Cheers!

If you know what NPC has the conversation in question, it might be easiest to find the npc in the creature palette for the module, and then see what conversation it's running.


 


If you don't know that, it is possible to mass search scripts and convo, just using the standard ctrl-f text search.  It has an option to search all files in the module.  Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to search conversations for script names in the various slots, so that should find you the script that fires, but might not help on the convo.

               If you're not a hotkey buff, open anything in the conversation editor, click on the "Find in Files" icon, check "all files in module". Repeat for scripts, if necessary.
