Here is my problem:

I'd like to have two NPC joining the party together, and leaving it together. Which command should I use in a dialog to obtain it?

Thanks

This is for BGII I assume?

Must remember to log in.

Thanks, and indeed, it was for BG2 ^^

EDIT: I tried (badly I suppose) and it doesn't work.here is the piece of dialogue

IF ~~ THEN REPLY ~Une petite chercheuse de trésor, hein? Interessant... Allez, venez avec moi... et votre mari aussi!~ DO
~SetGlobal("GineraJoined","LOCALS",1)
JoinParty()
ActionOverride(B#Gem,JoinParty()) ~ EXIT

Ginera is the name of the first character, the second is named Brenn. Brenn's .cre file is B#Gem.

What's wrong?

Thanks

1. Try swapping the order of the last two lines.

2. You need to enclose the B#Gem death variable in quotes for it to work.

[Garfield]

It still doesn't work. Here is what I tried:

~SetGlobal("GineraJoined","LOCALS",1)
JoinParty()
ActionOverride("B#Gem",JoinParty()) ~ EXIT

And

~SetGlobal("GineraJoined","LOCALS",1)
ActionOverride("B#Gem",JoinParty())
JoinParty() ~ EXIT

I don't know where the problem comes from...

Thanks for the help

If you describe what actually happens, we might be able to identify the problem easier.

[Garfield]

Hehe, the problem is: nothing happends.

I want to have a couple of NPC like Khalid and Jaheira in BG1. If one joins the party, the other comes to, and if one leaves the party, the other leaves to. And there, nothing happends. Only the NPC that talks joins the party, not the other.

What are the deathvariables of the two creatures?

[Garfield]

The two creature are:
-Ginera, death variable= "G#Gem"
-Brenn, death variable="B#Gem"

[SConrad]

And which one of them are speaking to the player?

[Garfield]

Brenn is speaking to the player... an ginera is not joining

[SConrad]

Try ActionOverride("G#Gem",JoinParty())

[Garfield]

Woohoo, after lots of attempts, I eventually succeed.

Actually, the solution was pretty simple and logical:

~SetGlobal("BrennJoined","LOCALS",1)
SetGlobal ("GineraJoined","LOCALS",1)
ActionOverride("G#Gem",JoinParty())
JoinParty()~ EXIT

Thanks to both of you!

Just for your information; the variables will be stored in Brenn's creature file. You might want to do: ActionOverride("G#Gem",SetGlobal("GineraJoined","LOCALS",1))

[Garfield]

Yes, it's exactly what I wanted to do.
Thanks again

There are triggers like:
Joins(O)
Leaves(O)

I guess these are useful, though I never used them.
