Script Triggers vs Dialog variables

[Diana]

Good evening!

Got another question for you all. Here goes.  The script of course has its GLOBAL/LOCALS variables to start the respective section in the J.D file.  If all script/variable conditions are true and I don't chose the valid response but try to reset the script variables to re-execute after its turned down -- is this possible?  I've tried this but I just get a loop though I think I've coded everything correctly - set the intial triggers in the script back to what they're supposed to check for.

ORIGINAL SCRIPT from the Sprite's BCS

IF
  Global("Silverinitbanter","LOCALS",0)
THEN
  RESPONSE #100
    SetGlobal("Silverinitbanter","LOCALS",1)
    SetGlobalTimer("Siltalk","GLOBAL",TWO_DAYS)
END

IF
  Global("#Silveryy1","GLOBAL",0)
  GlobalTimerExpired("Siltalk","GLOBAL")
  IfValidForPartyDialogue("D#Silver")
  CombatCounter(0)
THEN
  RESPONSE #100
    SetGlobal("#Silveryy1","GLOBAL",1)
    Dialog(Player1)
END

Part of the Sprite's J.D File:

APPEND D#Silver

IF ~Global("#Silveryy1","GLOBAL",1)~ SYouth1
SAY @153
 ]IF ~~ REPLY @154 DO ~SetGlobal("#Silveryy1","GLOBAL",2)~ GOTO SYouth12 //Executes perfectly
  IF ~InParty("Jan")~ REPLY @155 GOTO SYouth2
  IF ~!InParty("Jan")~ REPLY @155 GOTO SYouth3
END

IF ~~ SYouth2
SAY @156
  IF ~~ GOTO SYouth3
END

IF ~~ SYouth3
SAY @157
  IF ~~ REPLY @158 DO ~SetGlobal("#Silveryy1","GLOBAL",0) SetGlobal("Silinitbanter","LOCALS",0)~ GOTO SYouth4 // This is where it's going wrong - script doesn't retrigger though I've tried to reset the script tests
IF ~~ REPLY @159 DO ~SetGlobal("#Silveryy1","GLOBAL",2)~ GOTO SYouth5
END

IF ~~ SYouth4
SAY @160
  IF ~~ EXIT
END

Why, oh why, doesn't this stuff reset after the sprite is turned down so the block retriggers after the two day timer so the sprite pesters player1 again?

You might want to try using ActionOverride("MyNPC",SetGlobal("Silinitbanter","LOCALS",0)) to make sure it gets set on the proper NPC.

Thanks - "ActionOverride" is a keyword I've seen in modders' scripts but haven't yet used it myself.  Will take a look now and read what it does. 

[Kismet]

It's used to tell an actor, other than the one running the script, to do something.  I use it in my dialogs to set LOCALS variables because in some places I had another NPC interjecting and the variable was being set on that NPC rather than on my NPC.

[Diana]

It was initially called from My NPC's script - but I guess the IF ~~ THEN REPLY for Player1 probably screws it up so it needs this ActionOveride.  I'll try it when I get home.  Thanks.

Okay -- just tried it with the ActionOverride suggestion.  I'm still looping but since I'm now in the Copper Coronet I saw the constant pestering by Nalia and this gives me an idea....Nalia, if you turn down her request keeps coming back -- her files should give me an idea how to script and code this.

Thanks.
