Examples
;This is a custom function so you have to include it in your script.
Actor Function GetPlayerDialogueTarget()
Actor kPlayerDialogueTarget
Actor kPlayerRef = Game.GetPlayer()
Int iLoopCount = 10
While iLoopCount > 0
iLoopCount -= 1
kPlayerDialogueTarget = Game.FindRandomActorFromRef(kPlayerRef , 200.0)
If kPlayerDialogueTarget != kPlayerRef && kPlayerDialogueTarget.IsInDialogueWithPlayer()
Return kPlayerDialogueTarget
EndIf
EndWhile
Return None
EndFunction
Event SomeEvent()
; Print a message if the player is in dialogue with Bob.
if (GetPlayerDialogueTarget() == Bob)
Debug.Trace("The player is in dialogue with Bob!")
endIf
EndEventNotes
This usually finds the actor the player is in dialogue with but more testing is required. It works very well for me, so far... I tend to modify this by passing in the player's reference and lowering iLoopCount but the version I posted is safe and convenient.
