An Update:

Whilst driving through the pouring rain to pick my wife up from work I had an ephipany strike me square in the forehead. I have two characters sharing the same script registering the same function. Could this be the cause of the problem? After a day spent shopping I got back to the computer and removed the script component from one of the NPCs. Lo and behold everything started working again and I was happy.

Seriously, It appears that characters cannot share lua conversation scripts, however you want to phrase it as bad things happen, and I had a sub scene in the scenario with a pair of witches where it made logical sense to share, but its not doable.

Mark this one closed,

thanks for your time,

Nick

Nick,

I'm glad you got this one solved! I'll add this restriction to the documentation and highlight it. The next version will also log a warning if you try to register a function name that's already registered.

In your case, can you register the function just once and define it in a way that you can use it for all characters? I like to put my Lua functions in a script on the Dialogue Manager GameObject. Once it's registered the function, it's available for all characters to use.

To answer your question about NLua, it requires Unity 4 Pro or Unity 5 because it's written in C++. Unity 4 free doesn't allow you to invoke C++ code.
