Help adding dialogs and scripting

They also work on triggers as well. It's common practice to set a local on a trigger the first time it fires. Gives more flexibility than outright destroying it for cases where you might want to reuse it.

All of K1's random loot placeables use locals in their heartbeat scripts to stop them respawning (although Obsidian added a new function for TSL to just remove the script altogether after firing, to cut down on overhead on the Xbox).

K1 makes extensive use of module locals for various quest states via the module includes.

Good to know and incase anyone else is following this, I looked up : https://deadlystream.com/topic/3201-kotor1-local-booleans/

Which could be handy for people and that they are found in "k_inc_generic" for TSL I had simply forgotten as I haven't really used them yet, though I have known for a while that I really should start doing so.

Ohh, c'mon, it's just a bit of distension, and believe me, I love the refined work.

Plot locals (i.e. 0 to 10) are in k_inc_utility in both games. The ones in other includes are AI (for the most part) related. 0-10 are the only ones you should be using for general purpose use. You'll potentially break things if you start using higher numbers.

This is the final solution used -and working-  just making one Script, using a Local Boolean Variable and the base-game script "k_con_talkedto". So is not needed modify the Globalcat.2da file.

void main()
{
    GiveXPToCreature(GetFirstPC(), XXX);
    SetLocalBoolean(OBJECT_SELF, 10, TRUE);
}

Attaching this Script in the "SCRIPT THAT FIRES WHEN SPOKEN" box and attaching  "k_con_talkedto" in the "SCRIPT THAT DETERMINES AVAILABILITY" box in the same line of the conversation in the DLG Editor.
