Sergei Utkin 0 Posted January 15, 2018 Hiya! Despite my rank on this forum, I am actually pretty well acquainted with the Arma Editor (Can't say my script skills are too good though ) as I have been playing since about late 2014. Anyways, I am trying to recreate the Original Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad in a more modern setting. Is it possible to create a sort of trigger that when you, for example, talk to an NPC, a line of dialogue appears? I am more so looking for a Mount and Blade effect w/o actual voice acting and just reading blurbs of dialogue. For the first section of dialogue, I wish for the player to interact with a UN Colonel. The Colonel will be leaning on his desk or whatever and I would have the player approach and have a section stating "Speak" and I am incoporating dialogue from the actual book. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
olegreyghost 14 Posted January 16, 2018 Welcome to the forums. You can use the "hint" and/or "sideChat" commands to display the dialogue onscreen, which you can find at Scripting Commands for Arma 3 Cheers...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnKalo 657 Posted January 18, 2018 It will be something like this: [west, "HQ"] sideChat "I am talking to you."; Whereas the condition of the trigger can be: nameofplayer distance personwhospeaks < 5; Answers to editing questions can be found via youtube videos or via the editing forums too.

JohnKalo 657 Posted January 20, 2018 ^^ true. It's just that many people cannot find the editing forums since there is no such section in the Main Arma 3 Forums subsection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
