Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity Original Sin - Mods Problem getting dialog to initiate

F7 is build right? i've always done that. Changing alignment didn't seem to do anything.

Have you also generated definitions? F7 only builds the story, doesn't generate definitions (make global characters accessible to the code). Sorry all these questions are really basic, but when something basic doesn't work, it's often a little missed step.

I've tried to generate definitions etc, now i just did a build + generate definitions thing which worked and when i run the game there is no evidence of the script being used



No that's ok i'm glad i'm getting any help at all .

I like to use experience points when testing whether something exists/works or not, since it pops up above the character whenever it triggers.

That's a bit more convinient than adding gold, thanks for the tip.

Themasterrat: I've started up your "playground" mod and the scripts seem to be firing properly in that and there's no failed to parce script error, i can talk to the Citizen, when i use magic on her she says that i'm possessed by a wizard etc. Also as soon as i add any code of my own into the scripts that are included in the mod i get "failed to parce script" error.

copy paste the exact error you're getting, and then paste the script you added.

IF
CharacterEnteredTrigger(CHARACTER_Player1, TRIGGER_BoxTrigger)
THEN
PartyAddExperience(100);

Are your editor paths set up correctly? Copy paste those two things here if you don't mind.

You unpacked Main.pak, right? Where did you unpack it to? Unpacking it directly into the Divinity directory can cause issues - what kind of issues i'm not sure, I didn't really do it that way.

Gah everything started working suddenly, when i used an event trigger instead of a box trigger the CharacterEnteredTrigger started working and for some reason the global dialog companion thing started working as well. Thanks for the help though i got a bit worried there for a moment

Was your box trigger registered for players in the INIT section?

"TriggerRegisterForPlayers(PLAYER_HERE);" is the call.

It wasn't, i realized that had to be done after watching another tutorial. Not sure why i didn't pick up on that after watching roguelikes tutorial on triggers.
