How do I create dialogue?

[Fuzzy Bandit 10]

Yo!

Now, I've been working on an SP mission for quite a while now, and it's coming along nicely. The only downfall is that there is currently no speech what-so-ever. I say in another thread someone being told to use the "kbTell" command, but I've had a look at that and I still have absolutely no idea how to make it work! :D I know about "player sidechat", but that doesn't make them say anything, it just appears as text on the screen.

So, if someone could put it really simply for me, that'd be grand!

For instance, to create speech, and maybe even conversations, do I have to have triggers which activate "kbTell" commands? Can I do it with waypoints as well?

As simply as possible please, I'm still a noob at this coding malarky - I'm trying to learn, but I've got majorly stuck on this, as everything I try just ends up with 6 guys sitting in a chopper... all ignoring eachother. :D

Cheers, Jack.

Can't look at the OFPEC topic at the moment as I'm at school - 'tis blocked. :P

Anyways, the other topic is just like all the others I've found. Long, unexplained and with no examples! :D

Is this just really, really complicated or something? Is there no simple command like:

soldier1 kbtell soldier2 "Hello!"

i will add something to the question -

if i want to import MP3s or WAVs i've recorded myself into a mission and have the voices i've recorded heard via the comm, how can i do it?

any audio needs to be defined in the description.ext. look at link in my signature. and use this command playsound

It used to be a bit more complicated than that, you also needed wavToLip to create the lip sync files (syncronized mouth animation) and the command you'd use to make the sound positional was say.

I dont know if Arma 2 is diferent since i havent opened any official missions.

Your right, for music playsound, for voice stuff use say.
