I'm making a simple no combat weapon that needs to initiate the actor collision dialogue (normally triggered when you bump into someone). I found the dialogue I want in the Dialog window under the Misc tab for the actorcollidewithactor topic, but can't find a 'collide' event to trigger, a spell effect to assign or any other way to initiate this dialog.

Is it possbile? Thanks.

I think it should just fire when you bump into someone. depending on the conditions and assuming that the priority is high enough of course

Thanks for the response. I want it to fire (assuming it is an event) when someone is hit by the weapon I'm making.

Guard: "What, you fetch their sweet rolls?"
<* THWACK *> with the slap stick
Guard: "Hey, watch it!"

You get the idea.

It would be nice if I could limit the response to a subset of what is already there for actorcollidewithactor, but I'm guessing I'd have to change a property of an existing dialog and I'd rather avoid opening up potential issues with other mods.

so an OnHit event and a say() call for the actor hit, perhaps

That might work if I can extend the base Actor class' OnHit event handler, otherwise I think I would have to add a script to every NPC. Unfortunately, I don't see a template that most Actors are inheriting from - any ideas? Thanks for your help.
