Awesome, thanks for your quick reply as always!

I want to refer to the name of an actor who is not the actor or conversant in a conversation and I can't get it to show up. I am using this in the Dialogue Text field: Let us go visit [lua(Actor["OtherNPC"].DisplayName)]. There is no syntax error but an empty string is returned, even thoug...

In order to get across each character I'd like to replace the text entirely on some of the nodes so...

Oh I didn't know that RandomizeNextEntry was only for NPCs, still this solution works great, thanks for your quick reply as always.

I guess I am doing something wrong here, but I can't work out what... I want to give the player 3 response options, but I want to vary the text so I have created parent groups for each set of 3 responses, and am using RandomizeNextEntry to try and select one of the parents. However what is actually ...
