Dialogue Problem in Blades of Avernum Editor
Warrior
Member # 3905

I thought I had mastered dialogue scripts. Everything worked perfectly when I tried setting up a dialogue with just one person. However as I've started scripting a real scenario I notice a huge problem. For some reason, when talking to character 1, I can see dialogue options for characters 2 and 3 as well...

I've assigned all characters unique personality IDs, but it still doesn't distinguish the different persons. I've tried looking at working scripts, but I can see nothing I'd have overlooked. It's probably just some stupid mistake, but I'm at my wits end. Help, anyone?

There is no way past I'm sorry to say...

God knows I've tried. You can destroy the laser to the left - the wall behind it is a secret passage, so you can redirect a beam at it through this non-solid wall - but that doesn't help...

Moving Along a Specified Path? in Blades of Avernum Editor
Warrior

Ok, I'm trying to make a scenario (to be released november 2024 if ever). However I'm still not quite familiar with the editor nor scripting.

How would you go about if you want a character (NPC) to move to a specified spot. I want a character to walk away (to another part of town) after having been talked to. Any suggestions on how you could pull this off?

You do know there is a way of not siding (sort of), making it a tie between the empire and the rebels (killing off both leaders)?

If my memory serves me correctly you need piercing crystals (you'll need two to get to all chests) since those barriers can't be dispelled with DB (at least at the level you'll have playing through ASR the first time). And, it is possible to do this without setting off the quickfire trap...

I'd say cloud of blades is the way to go... They're all cramped up on this bridge, so throw CoB on someone in the front. This way they can't get to you without wading through sharp pointy things.

It's a good idea to save this guy as early as possible since this will make buying mage spells a lot cheaper. I.e. it's not worth buying mage spells until you've completed this quest...

I don't think it is possible to get to the corpse. God knows I've tried. You can destroy the innermost laser but there is no way past the first one. Perhaps they forgot how the mirrors move when they designed the level.

I think I heard someone on the boards mentioning that you could give the statue to the efreet west of the poppy fields, but I'm not sure...

As for the chest, maybe you have to play the scenarios a couple of times more till you get tool use 201...

Yup, the DwtD one is definitely where you get teleported after smashing the crystal holding the vampire (even though the game tells you you get teleported somewhere outside the town).

The ZKR one stumped me though. It might just be intended as a waste of time.

Use the mirrors to redirect the laser beams at them... Two big 'ZAP' later you don't have to worry about those guys anymore...

Ok, follow-up question.

That neat piece of script works just fine (I just forgot to declare the variable 'choice', I got too happy cutting and pasting), and I'm starting to get the hang of dialogue scripts. But now I've noticed that if I exit the town in qustion to the north (thus executing the end-scenario question-dialog-thingy) and choose not to exit the scenario the party really exits the town to the north. I don't want this to happen since this places the party outside my map. How do I correct this?
That is: I want the party to stay in town should they choose to continue the scenario, thus making it impossible to exit the town to the north...

Any ideas or suggestions?
