Hey all,
I know most of you guys know all the complex writing but for the ones teaching themselves like me, heres an example of a quest npc with multiple levels of response and actions. The hard part is to get them referenced in the right order, which is not top to bottom writing I have learned lol.
NOTE! There is globalflags which I save for chains later and for other reasons. You may or may not need flags or use so you can add a deleteglobal in there to rid of it.
Sorry if its sloppy, I try to clean my work up for u guys lol
