NPC sitting in chair and random banter script problem.

Gallow

Having an issue where if the NPC is sitting the banter doesnt fire off. Only works when the npc is standing. Not sure what the problem might be. Looking for advice or maybe changes in the script. Help will be greatly appreciated.

My OnSpawn script is:

void main()
{
ActionSit( GetNearestObjectByTag( "Chair"));
}

And my OnHeartbeat script is:

string sSayThis;
int iTalkVolume = TALKVOLUME_TALK;
int iRollTen = d10(1);
int iTalkFlag = 0;
void main()
{
if(d100(1) > 71) //Gives this script a 30% chance of completing
{ //Its execution. Call it my anti-spam code. (c:
if(iRollTen != 0) //Just in case a 0 slips in though I don't think
{ //It's possible.
switch(iRollTen) //Jump to the rolled statement number.
{
case 1:
sSayThis = "I need another ale.";
break;
case 2:
sSayThis = "Our downward climb has been rough. Another round should do.";
break;
case 3:
sSayThis = "*hiccup*";
break;
case 4:
sSayThis = "*sigh*.";
break;
case 5:
sSayThis = "*cough*";
break;
case 6:
sSayThis = "*belch*";
break;
case 7:
sSayThis = "*burp*";
break;
case 8:
sSayThis = "wip";
break;
case 9:
sSayThis = "wip.";
break;
case 10:
sSayThis = "wip.";
break;
} //End Switch Statement
ActionSpeakString(sSayThis, iTalkVolume); //Make the NPC talk
} //End If Statement
} //End If Statement
} //End Main

ActionSpeakString(sSayThis, iTalkVolume); //Make the NPC talk

This is an action, so it'll be queued to run after ActionSit()

If you change ActionSpeakString to just SpeakString it should work since it run immediately.

If that doesn't work, try

ClearAllActions();
ActionSpeakString(sSayThis, iTalkVolume); 
ActionSit( GetNearestObjectByTag( "Chair"));

This method can be used in the OnConversation script, too.

The commands are executed rapidly, creating the illusion that the NPC remains seated throughout.

Thank you! These are excellent!
