This component makes an actor bark when a trigger condition occurs. The actor (assigned to the Conversant property) must have a Bark UI.
To make the NPC greet the player with a bark when used, set Trigger to OnUse and add a Usable component to the NPC.
When an actor barks, it sends "OnBarkStart", "OnBarkLine", and "OnBarkEnd" messages to the Conversant and Target. See Script Messages for more details.
Note that the NPC will not bark if you're using Bark Priority Values and the NPC is currently barking a higher priority line.
