Destroying an NPC Object Within Conversation [Solved]

[pegassy]

Hello,

I am looking for a way to disable or destroy an NPC object during a conversation if a particular conversation option is chosen. I am using Opsive's TPC. Is there a way with or without integration with Opsive's TPC to destroy the NPC object?

Thank you.

Hi,

Use the SetActive() sequencer command. For example:

• Dialogue Text (NPC): "Don't press this button."
  • Dialogue Text: (Player) "[press button]"
  • Sequence:

    Code: Select all

    Audio(Explosion);
    SetActive(Building,false)

If you want to remember in saved games that the Building has been deactivated, use a dialogue database variable and the Persistent Active Data component. For example, add this sequencer command:

• Dialogue Text (NPC): "Don't press this button."
  • Dialogue Text: (Player) "[press button]"
  • Sequence:

    Code: Select all

    Audio(Explosion);
    SetActive(Building,false);
    SetVariable(DestroyedBuilding,true)

and then configure the Persistent Active Data component with the following values:

• Target: Building
• Condition > Lua Conditions: Variable["DestroyedBuilding"] == true

You can use SendMessage(DestroyGameObject,,yourObject) then the gameobject yourObject must have a script with a method DestroyGameObject like this:

This destroy the gameobject, you cannot recovery it
