Proleric,
Thanks ! When I first read your response, I thought, I already tried putting the convo on a placeable, and that didn't work. It did get me thinking. I opened the convo and found my problem. The Starting Conditionals were set for OBJECT_SELF, and the LocalInts had been placed on the NPC by tag. Removing the convo from the NPC and putting it on the placeable caused the placeable to look for Ints set on itself rather than the NPC. Changed the OB_SELF to NPC Tag, and now I have the fix. Thanks for the boost.
