You knew that already. But how do we go about implementing this using the Creation Kit's dialogue system? Let's find out. | ||

To do this, we use [[conditions]]. So along with all the other conditions your 'positive response' info might have, add a new condition item with the function [[GetActorValue]], the parameter here being Speechcraft. Of course, this function needs to run on the player. The comparison should be greater-than-or-equal-to (>=), and the value can be whatever you want, but for completeness it's best if you just choose one of the predetermined constant variables (SpeechVeryEasy, SpeechEasy etc). To select one of these, you need to have checked the Use Global box. You don't need to add an opposite condition to the 'negative response'. | ||

Intimidation options are created using a process that is similar to persuasion options, however, the actor value you need to check for is different. On your successful intimidation response, create a [[GetIntimidateSuccess]] check, and have it check for GetIntimidateSuccess = 1.00. This will cause your successful intimidation response to trigger only if GetIntimidateSuccess returns 1 - i.e. only if it is successful according to the algorithm used by the game engine to calculate this, which takes into account variables such as the player's level and the speaker's confidence value, as well as the player's speechcraft skill and some other factors. See the "Mod Player Intimidation" [[Perk Entry Point]] for more information. | |||
You should also be sure to add the following to your response's 'begin' script fragment. The script property should be set up the same way as for persuasion; the only difference is the actual Papyrus code used. | |||

Finally, don't forget to add the suffix '(Intimidate)' to any intimidation topic texts in your plugin. | |||
