recording speech

You'd have to manipulate the String. AKA, looking for two spaces through the entire string.*sighs* No easy way to do it. I'm not familiar enough with NWScript to get actual code up, but that's what it would take.

About the floaty name over a null human issue : you can apply EffectVisualEffect(VFX_DUR_CUTSCENE_INVISIBILITY) on it to make it totally invisible, even for the mouse pointer

Great and many thanks

It's simply a matter of parsing the spoken text into words using FindSubString. Add this to the OnSpawn of the creature listening:

Code: Select all

    SetSpawnInCondition(NW_FLAG_ON_DIALOGUE_EVENT);      //OPTIONAL BEHAVIOR - Fire User Defined Event 1004

    SetListenPattern(OBJECT_SELF,"**",777);
    SetListening(OBJECT_SELF,TRUE);

And then use this script for the UserDefined script to detect speech and parse the words...

Code: Select all

#include "nw_i0_tool"
#include "nw_i0_generic"

void main()
{
    int nCalledBy = GetUserDefinedEventNumber();
    if(nCalledBy==1004)
    {
        if (GetListenPatternNumber() == 777)
        {
            object oPC   = GetLastSpeaker();
            string sText = GetMatchedSubstring(0);
            object oSelf = OBJECT_SELF;
            int iSpace   = FindSubString(sText," ");
            int iRight   = GetStringLength(sText) - iSpace - 1;
            int iWordCnt = 0;
            string sWord = GetStringLeft(sText,iSpace);
            string sRemaining = sText;
            if(sText=="") return;
            while(iSpace>=0)
            {
                if(iSpace>0)
                {
                    SendMessageToPC(oPC,"Word "+IntToString(iWordCnt)+": "+sWord);
                    SetLocalString(oSelf,"Heard word"+IntToString(iWordCnt),sWord);
                    iWordCnt++;
                }
                sRemaining = GetStringRight(sText,iRight);
                iSpace     = FindSubString(sRemaining," ");
                iRight    -= (iSpace+1);
                sWord      = GetStringLeft(sRemaining,iSpace);
            }
            sWord = sRemaining;
            SendMessageToPC(oPC,"Word "+IntToString(iWordCnt)+": "+sWord);
            SetLocalString(oSelf,"Heard word"+IntToString(iWordCnt),sWord);
            SetLocalInt(oSelf,"Heard word count",iWordCnt);
        }
        else return;
    }
    return;
}

For now all this does is listen to all things spoken near the NPC and repeat the words back to the speaker, parsing them out. It also stores them in an array of Local strings for other uses. You should be able to modify this to pick any number of words out, and do anything with them that you wish to, like send them to another PC or have another invisible object speak them aloud using SpeakString. It will strip extra spaces out without counting them as words as well.
