conversations and taken actions

[slave_of_emotions]

I want to make a item with a conversation addet to it that after selecting a option from it starts a action.

For Example:

NPC: What do you want to do ?
PC;
option 1: jump me to point A
option 2: jump me to point B
...etc...

Now... is there other way to do this then adding to each option a own script ?
I would like to make one script for all options that checks inside what option was selected and starts a action acording to it.

'fraid not. It's one of the more frustrating aspects of the NWN engine. The only real alternative is to have each option set a local variable, and then check this variable to determine the action at the end of the convo. This does nothing to cut down on script numbers, however.

Do you perhaps know out of experiance, with of those two ways is more ressources friendly ?

THey should be pretty much the same - it's the same code running, after all, just a slightly different method for running it. If it's something simple, I'd just go with a seperate script for each, because it'll be one script less to write. For something more complicated, I'd ue the variable approach, because if it has a bug, or needs changing, its a lot easier to modify a single big script than a bunch of little scripts.

Hope that helps
