This is the best I could come up with so far. The conversation node that begins after the talk NEEDS to be set to infinite repeat (as in not one time only).

I can get conversations to start problem is they often get broke on the first node. By repeating, you can restart the conversation. This can account for late cheap shots in the fight. But on the other hand this basically throws a series of delayed conversation starts at the user, which gets choppy fast if its more than once so you have to set the constant value COUNT_MAX accordingly.

Now you'll notice I commented out the two lines that checked if the OWNER or PLAYER were
in conversation... why? Because they are total crap that give a false no matter what.

For example if the conversation is open and I can see it in game, our talk has begun. But both the NPC and Player obviously show a negative because it will loop through again and then violently restart the conversation. The only thing that ever stops the loop is the count limit being reached. Maybe it's because the engine instantly creates all the delayed conversations, Im guessing thats why. But regardless even if it didn't like I said, a late cheap shot breaks conversations so I pretty much have to force restart it a few times. But hey why should anything work right in this shoddy toolset all the sudden?

This goes in the on damaged event of the creature.

int iCount = 0; 
int COUNT_MAX = 5; // # of conv attempts and delay increments each time based on this value * .25 seconds

If I remember correctly Leldon starts talking when he's down. The script that is used is the same that Kaldor wrote here, although it has a comment that I don't know how important it is.

// JYL 06/18/05 Altered this so that the PC starts the conversation with himself. Special case for Leldon.

I'm pretty certain my script works just fine or at least did when tested back in 2009. The spawn script sets the conditions for the ud script to be used. The scripts are in my King's Festival campaign which can be downloaded from the Vault.

Personally I don't let my frustration lead to pissing on people who are trying to help. But y'know that's just me.

Use it or don't. I don't care. I just offered it.

Where did I ****** on anyone? The script didn't work and I reported it as such.

Save the drama for the WoW forums please.

Is this thread closed? If so, may I ask how the script that Kaldor posted is handled? Is it an OnDamage event or it requires something more?

First, you attach gb_surrender_sp to the creature's On Spawn event.  This is a standard script that comes with the game.  The only important thing that this script does is this line:

    // * Fire User Defined Event 1006
    SetSpawnInCondition(NW_FLAG_DAMAGED_EVENT);

That can be done in other ways if you don't want to use this spawn script.

The second step is to attach Kaldor's script to the creature's On User Defined event.

Works fine. I just wanted to say that, once you have a question, you go to the forums. Sometimes the problem is not solved immediately but you should keep your calm and try to find the solution with the people that are trying to help you. I never saw swearing and stuff like that on this forum, and this is quite rare in the gaming community these days. Please keep it like that.

Oh and thanks Kaldor and Tchos for a solved problem that was giving me a headache for quite some time.( I knew Leldon surrendered to me, I just didn't know how! )

Is this some kind of joke between you and Kaldor that no one else gets? Where did anyone "lose their calm" or swear?
