This has been racking my brain for a good part of a day and I can't figure this out.

I have it where no matter who you walk up to, I want to ask them to "Be my friend".
At which point they say, "Sure." and exit the dialogue screen.

Behind the scenes, I wrote the dialogue, that works fine. But in the End Papyrus result script section
I can't figure out how to say:

You that just left.SetFactionRank(MyFriendFaction, 1)You that just left.Additem(MyFriendAmulet, 1)GetOwningQuest().SetObjectiveDisplayed(10)		;This line worksGetOwningQuest().SetStage(5)					 ;This line works

I could set an alias or so up as blank filler, but how would say assign the person I just spoke with to that temp alias ?
Something like this:

TempAlias = "You that just left"TempAlias.SetFactionRank(MyFriendFaction, 1)TempAlias.Additem(MyFriendAmulet, 1)GetOwningQuest().SetObjectiveDisplayed(10)		;This line worksGetOwningQuest().SetStage(5)					 ;This line works

My problem is it's not a specific person. It could be any NPC that I talk with. Any help would be most appreciative please. Thanks

Edit: I just noticed the topic. "Person" is spelled wrong. (facepalm)

In Dialogue Info Fragments you can use a couple of special variables to get the speaker: http://www.creationkit.com/Topic_Info_Fragments

Do you already have the dialogue created? Just inject your script into the script handler of the dialgoue and pass it the akSpeakerRef as a parameter.

For an example, see:

Character -> Quest -> DialogueFavorGeneric -> Dialogue Views -> DialogueFavorTopicsView -> "Follow Me, I need your help" -> "Okay"

Notice the script End Papyrus Fragment. See how they call a function on a different quest script and pass in the akSpeakerRef?

Furthermore, the DialogueFollower Quest has a script on it that does exactly what you are trying to do (assign a quest alias based on the conversation)

Thank you both. It's exactly what I needed to progress my mod.

I'm actually having trouble with this, maybe I'm trying to do something that can't be done who knows.

Here is my code:

Hunter.ForceRefTo(akSpeaker.GetDialogueTarget())

That is in a dialgoue fragment. After the NPC says his line, it runs that code, and also sets the stage in the quest. I want that NPC to become the quest Alias, but the quest marker doesn't point to him lol. The objective in the stage the script sets is set to have him as the target, and the next objective also has him as the target. Neither show him as such

akSpeaker.GetDialogueTarget()

Won't that just return the player?

Would this work:

Hunter.ForceRefTo(akSpeaker.GetActorReference())

No man it's telling me that's not a function

EDIT:

This seemed to work

Hunter.ForceRefTo(akSpeaker as Actor)

Fair do's mate. The "as Actor" was going to be my next suggestion but you already replied before I could edit the post lol

That function is part of the ObjectReference script. Seems akSpeaker must be an alias or something

- Hypno

If its an Obj ref then I think it needs to be akspeakerref instead of akspeaker.

Well now we know

Does this mean they have fixed the dialogs???

Nope...just means that they are using the workarounds mentioned on the dialogue bug thread

- Hypno

Yep that's a negative. The dialogue only works with a "triggered" quest, or a SGE quest after a save/reload. Still.

I can't say from memory and I'm not at my computer but I used how the follower dialogue quest did it. By studying that quest I was able to do exactly that. Assign a quest alias as the speaker.

And no, the dialogue bug is still there. I too have to save the game, then load it back to get the quest to start.

MyAlias.ForceRefTo(akSpeaker) always works for me in dialogue fragments, simply akspeaker, nothing else, never had any problems
