Hi

I am currently trying to make my own NPC mod with a romance.

Really very helpful tutorials on the forums. I have been following the "Coding Friendships and Romance" one by Kaeloree, which has been great. The only problem I have having is my NPC joins up with my PC but the romance just won't start no matter what. I have attached both my NPCJ dialogue file and script file for the romance. If you could have a look at them and double check I haven't missed something really stupid that would be great! No matter how much I read them I just can't seem to find the problem!!

Thanks in advice

// 1. Someone Like You

IF ~Global("LE#LetanLoveTalk","GLOBAL",1)~ LoveTalk1

SAY ~So what is someone like you doing in the lovely Amn?~

IF ~~THEN REPLY ~I am hunting down Irencius. I will find him and have what he knows~GOTO Power

IF ~~THEN REPLY ~I am trying to get Imoen back. She is like a sister to me. I must find her~GOTO Family

IF ~~THEN REPLY ~Just decided to come here for a holiday. Was told it was a great place for fun~GOTO Liar

IF ~~THEN REPLY ~None of your business Half-Drow. Now come away from me~GOTO Fine

END

IF ~~THEN BEGIN Power

SAY ~Ah.. I see. Power is what you are after then. Why kind of power could this Irencius possess that you already don't <RACE>?~

= ~Oh don't look at me that way, I know what you are <RACE>... the famous Bhaal of the Sword Coast. So again I ask what kind of power could this wizard hold for you?~

IF ~~THEN REPLY ~Oh so that is why you approached me then Half-Drow, thought to be protected?~GOTO Protected

END

IF ~~THEN BEGIN Protected

SAY ~Can you blame me Bhaal spawn? Isn't it better to be on the winning side. Ha! But still you intrigue me. I will follow you for now. Come let us find this wizard of yours~

SAY ~Pfff.... you do all this for some human girl who is like a sister to you. She is no sister... for a start she is Human. Really <RACE>? You obviously are more stupid than you look! At the end of the day Family mean nothing. I spit on family! Power is what counts~

IF ~~THEN REPLY ~Family meets everything to me Letan.~GOTO Fool

IF ~~THEN REPLY ~Imeon means something to me but the promise of power is intruging to me too~GOTO Power

IF ~~THEN REPLY ~It's not none or your business fool!~GOTO Fine

IF ~~THEN REPLY ~Ha! You got me. I am hunting Irencius for what he might be able to do for me~GOTO Power

IF ~~THEN REPLY ~As much as I would love a holiday now, I am trying to get Imeon back... she is a sister to me~GOTO Family

There is one problem in the script -- your first talk is going to show up as soon as someone tries to force talk her. You're going to want to renumber things so you can increment it to 2 once the timer expires. Then you won't run into crazy bugs there.

That doesn't explain why nothing is happening at all, though. The first thing you'll want to know is whether your script is working at all. You may not have assigned it properly with the cre or tp2.

Try to forcetalk her now. If the talk shows up, you'll at least know that the script is functioning. If not, you're probably going to want to post your tp2 and possibly attach your cre file as well.

I'm not sure cool shades smileys are a valid Weidu expression.

Also:

IF
InParty(Myself)

Global("LE#LetanRomanceCheck","GLOBAL",0)

THEN

RESPONSE #100

SetGlobal("LE#LetanRomanceCheck","GLOBAL",1)

END

This block sets the RomanceCheck variable to 1, and it has to be 0 to trigger the first block. If it's firing early, that could screw things up.

It's also good practice to prefix all your dialogue block names (LoveTalk1, Power, Protected, etc.) with your modder prefix.

You misspelled "Irenicus" and "Imoen".

This might not be the solution to your problem though

Put LE#LETAN.BSC as the Default Script as well. I've run into problems before when I haven't filled that line out, so that could be part of the problem.

Half the time in your script, you're checking for "Letan" as the Death Variable. In both the CRE and TP2, however, you have it as LE#Letan. You're going to need consistency there. (I'd use the LE#Letan version. Better for crossmod purposes.)

COMPILE ~Letan/LE#Letan.d~

You've only compiled this one dialogue file. You need to do them all.

Thanks! Silly me not compiling them! It seems to be kinda working now... he will come up to me and start his lovetalk or at least try but all I get instead is the mutliplayer talk when I normally forcetalk him. Something about idle banter. Have I missed something in script or CRE file?
