Hi,



I have an NPC called 'Smith' who has two completely separate conversations listed in the database as Smith_1 and Smith_2.



I want to use a Playmaker FSM to be able to set which of the two conversations will happen when the Player selects the Smith NPC. Is this possible?



Thanks for your time.

Hi,



Yes. You have a lot of options. Here are some suggestions. I'm sure there are plenty other ways to do it, too.



Use the Dialogue System > Set Variable action to set a Lua variable -- for example, set a variable ConvNum to 1 or 2. Add two Conversation Triggers to your Smith NPC. On one, set the conversation to "Smith_1" and the Lua condition to "Variable['ConvNum'] == 1". On the other, set the conversation to "Smith_2" and the Lua condition to "Variable['ConvNum'] == 2".

Add two Conversation Triggers without conditions. Use the Script Control > Enable Behaviour action to enable the one you want to use and disable the other one.

Instead of using Conversation Triggers, manually start the desired conversation using the Dialogue System > Start Conversation action.

Great, thanks for the tips.
