[Admin commands] Any dialog NPC

[HerrColonel]

I recently looked into the /creature_script function.
It looks like we can add any script in the correct folder (StarMade\data\script)
Select the concerned NPC with F, and type /creature_script "thescriptyouwant"
npc-trading-guild.lua is the shop's NPC spawner script (usefull to buy troops in your own base).

So I wanted to edit a script to set the dialog options I want for NPCs (bar, guards, workers). But this is quite painful. For now, I just have a template of script: the NPC has a text dialog when you press R on him, and a button to leave dialog AND it actually works ^^. It have one variable: the NPC's name. There may be more I don't know. I just kept this one from the existing script.

Here is the script.

function create(dialogObject, bindings)
  dSysClass = luajava.bindClass( "org.schema.game.common.data.player.dialog.DialogSystem" );
  dSysFactoryClass = luajava.bindClass( "org.schema.game.common.data.player.dialog.DialogStateMachineFactory" );
  dSysEntryClass = luajava.bindClass( "org.schema.game.common.data.player.dialog.DialogStateMachineFactoryEntry" );
  hookClass = luajava.bindClass( "org.schema.game.common.data.player.dialog.DialogTextEntryHookLua" );
 
  dSys = luajava.newInstance( "org.schema.game.common.data.player.dialog.DialogSystem", dialogObject );
 
  print(dSys);
 
  factory = dSys:getFactory(bindings);
  hook = luajava.newInstance( "org.schema.game.common.data.player.dialog.DialogTextEntryHookLua", "hookFunc", {} );

  entry = luajava.newInstance( "org.schema.game.common.data.player.dialog.TextEntry",
  "Bonsoir, client.\n" ..
  "Je m'apelle ".. dialogObject:getConverationParterName() ..".\n"..
  "Ce sera quoi?"..
  "\n"
  , 2000 );
  factory:setRootEntry(entry);

  dSys:add(factory)

  return dSys

--frame = luajava.newInstance( "org.schema.game.common.data.player.dialog.DialogSystem", "Texts" );
--frame:test()
end

This a bartender's dialog. Just edit this part to make him say whatever you want:

"Bonsoir, client.\n" ..
"Je m'apelle ".. dialogObject:getConverationParterName() ..".\n"..
"Ce sera quoi?"..
"\n"

Write only between the " and the \n are return to line.

Unless you're French, that looks more like 'classy wine tasting man' conversation more than barman conversation.
I can't script so this is my best attempt:

"Alright, mate.\n" ..
"ay up lad, what'l it be?".. dialogObject:getConverationParterName() ..".\n"..
"Pint."..
"\n"

Just kidding. Good script, we will hopefully see better NPC's in the future. But not wine tasters.

I like wine ^^

I also have a script. It has three variables:

dialogObject:getEntity():getName() //This one gives the name of the player who talks to the npc
dialogObject:getConverationParterName() //This one gives the name of the npc
dialogObject:getConverationPartnerFactionName() //This one gives the name of the faction to which the npc belongs


I quess there is also a variable that gives the faction of the player who talks to the npc.
A npc with this script just greets the player and tells him who he(the npc) is and to which faction he belongs:

function create(dialogObject, bindings)
  print(bindings)
  print(dialogObject)
  dSysClass = luajava.bindClass( "org.schema.game.common.data.player.dialog.DialogSystem" );
  dSysFactoryClass = luajava.bindClass( "org.schema.game.common.data.player.dialog.DialogStateMachineFactory" );
  dSysEntryClass = luajava.bindClass( "org.schema.game.common.data.player.dialog.DialogStateMachineFactoryEntry" );
  hookClass = luajava.bindClass( "org.schema.game.common.data.player.dialog.DialogTextEntryHookLua" );
  dSys = luajava.newInstance( "org.schema.game.common.data.player.dialog.DialogSystem", dialogObject );
  print(dSys);
  factory = dSys:getFactory(bindings);

  hook = luajava.newInstance( "org.schema.game.common.data.player.dialog.DialogTextEntryHookLua", "hookFunc", {} );

  entry = luajava.newInstance( "org.schema.game.common.data.player.dialog.TextEntry",
  "Greetings, ".. dialogObject:getEntity():getName() .."\n\n" ..
  "My name is ".. dialogObject:getConverationParterName() ..", and I'm a member of ".. dialogObject:getConverationPartnerFactionName() ..".\n"
  , 2000 );
  factory:setRootEntry(entry);
  dSys:add(factory)

  return dSys

--frame = luajava.newInstance( "org.schema.game.common.data.player.dialog.DialogSystem", "Texts" );
--frame:test()
end

Nice to share
I'll try do make a simple script to say some text just like now but have a button to hire crew (seems I can even set the price I want). I want to give it to a "security chief" NPC who say something like "Everything is fine, commander" and I would ask him if I need a security squad

 

[Marduk_Zoekoff]

Fantastic, I have not really played around with the NPC crew yet but that gives me some ideas.

Now for a finite state engine that starts up a 'real' conversation.
It seems the framework is there.
