Hi
I want the bark to work like a conversation

default bark- if the condition is neutral (bark neutral) positive (bark positive ) else negative (barks negative)

Hi,

You'll want to set up the conversation similarly to this:

Let's say you're using the Relationship Lua Functions to keep track of how NPCs feel about the player.

For example, if the NPC hates the player, you use this Lua (e.g., in a Script field):

Code: Select all

SetRelationship(Actor["NPC1"], Actor["Player"], "like", -50)

Then you can set the first dialogue entry's Conditions to:

Code: Select all

GetRelationship(Actor["NPC1"], Actor["Player"], "like") <= -50

You'd set the second entry's Conditions to:

Code: Select all

GetRelationship(Actor["NPC1"], Actor["Player"], "like") >= 50

and the third entry's Conditions to:

Code: Select all

50 < GetRelationship(Actor["NPC1"], Actor["Player"], "like") and GetRelationship(Actor["NPC1"], Actor["Player"], "like") < 50

This will work, but it will only work for NPC1. To make it work for any NPC, you will need to change the Conditions. When the Dialogue System starts a bark or conversation, it sets Variable["ActorIndex"] to the NPC's name. (Technically it sets it to the actor index.)

So instead of Actor["NPC1"] you can use Actor[Variable["ActorIndex"]]:

Code: Select all

GetRelationship(Actor[Variable["ActorIndex"]], Actor["Player"], "like") <= -50
