Here's the script:

____________________
/*
If the group of final escap guards, named "2023_final_escape_guards" is killed, change yeti back to
hostile and attack group.  Send message to PC.
*/
#include "ginc_group"
void main()
{
FloatingTextStringOnCreature("worked",GetFirstPC());
string sGroupName = "2023_final_escape_guards";
AssignCommand(GetObjectByTag("2023_tundra_yeti"),ClearAllActions(TRUE));
AssignCommand(GetFirstPC(),ClearAllActions(TRUE));
GroupOnDeathBeginConversation(sGroupName,"2023_tundra_yeti","2023_tundra_yeti_hostile");
}




The script fires at the right time. It compiles. It appears that the NPCs in the group have the proper group name (tested with another script in runtime).  But I can't get the convo to fire.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know of a reason off hand. Have you tried using GroupOnDeathExecuteCustomScript rather than GroupOnDeathBeginConversation? You can have the script start the conversation.

dont forget to to AssignCommand() for the conversation function - i think that forces the action queue to move up until the conv starts. it always helps to add that kind of 'force' to get something to fire properly.

Can a talker's conversation fire without the talkee being close? Or can a creature talk to itself if the conversation is only a one-line bark string?

There doesn't seem to be a variable in GroupOnDeathBeginConversation that specifies who the creature is actually talking to - so maybe Morbane's suggestion of an AssignCommand (using the PC as the target) might help.

You might still have a problem if the yeti is too far away to start a conversation though.

Would love to hear a bulletproof solution. I use this in PoE, and in one place (and only that place), it simply does not work. Same code as everywhere else.

I tried that as well.  No luck.

Did not try that.  Next time I will, thanks.

In the OC when you first meet Khelgar there is a fight that uses a group. I suggest you look at that and compare what they do to what you are doing.

That is excellent advice!  Thanks.  I always forget to do things like that.
