NPC pair's parting dialogue

[Miss Sakaki]

I've been working on a pair of NPCs who leave and join a party together. The problem that I've been having is that while I can get both of them to leave together, when I go to pick them up again one of them comes up to Player1 as if about to initiate dialogue. I have a script that specifies what happens when one leaves, so after the leaving dialogue I have:

IF ~~ THEN DO ~SetGlobal("FHLJoined","GLOBAL",0)
SetGlobal("FHLKicked","GLOBAL",1)
MoveGlobal("AR0700","FHLSEB",[2140.2409])~
EXIT
END

...and in Andrei's script I have:

IF
Global("FHLKicked","GLOBAL",1)
InParty(Myself)
THEN
RESPONSE #100
LeaveParty()
MoveGlobal("AR0700","FHLAND",[2169.2452])
END

I've also tried putting ActionOverride("FHLAND",MoveGlobal("AR0700","FHLAND",[2169.2452])) into Sebastian's code, but the same thing happens.

Check their scripts to see if they have anything that would make them walk up to the player to initiate dialogue, like, say, NumTimesTalkedTo(0).  Also make sure they aren't falling prey to the dplayer3.bcs problem.

when I go to pick them up again one of them comes up to Player1 as if about to initiate dialogue

   Each party member has a block in his/her scripts that makes him/her start a respective dialog with
 Player1 when kicked out (smth like "Do you want us to part?"), that's why one of your NPC's (in this
 (case it's definitely Andrei) wants to talk to PC as soon as he sees him/her again

If the .cre file hasn't been created properly, yes.  That's what I was asking above.

   If I'm not mistaken, every NPC gets DPLAYER2 as DEFAULT script on joining the party
   The 1st block in DPLAYER2 is as follows:
IF
  !InParty(Myself)
  HPGT(Myself,0)
THEN
  RESPONSE #100
    SetLeavePartyDialogFile()
    Dialogue(Player1)
    ChangeAIScript("",DEFAULT)
END

   So, there's more than one easy way to solve Miss Sakaki's problem

[Miss Sakaki]

To confirm: the original cres have the correct scripts. Andrei has FHLAND.bcs as override and WTASIGHT.bcs as race script. Sebastian has FHLSEB.bcs as override, SHOUT06.bcs as race and WTASIGHT.bcs as general. However, once they join the party, the class script changes to DEFAULT.bcs and the default script changes to dplayer2.bcs. How can I get round this?

[Lu]

To Miss Sakaki:

   It's very easy. For example, you can change the block in Andrei's script (the one in your first post) to

IF
  Global("FHLKicked","GLOBAL",1)
  InParty(Myself)
THEN
  RESPONSE #100
    LeaveParty()
    SetLeavePartyDialogFile()
    ChangeAIScript("",DEFAULT)
    MoveGlobal("AR0700","FHLAND",[2169.2452])
END
  (just make sure that Andrei's LeavePartyDialogFile .DLG file is OK)

   But as I have said before, it's only one of several possible solutions

[Lu]

   BTW, I think you should use MoveBetweenAreas() action instead of MoveGlobal()

[Miss Sakaki]

It now works perfectly. Thanks for the help!

Oh yeah, I forgot about dplayer2.bcs.  The WTASight.bcs and SHOUT06.bcs won't stay on the .cre files once they join the party.  Only the script in the override slot stays with an NPC out, in, and out of the party.
