I am trying to make dynamic/random conversations when you talk to a character (just destroying a static prop). The functon I needed itself worked great. i had no troubles after a few tries.... But how do I make random conversations after I certain object has been destroyed?

Here's an example code I use to show up a conversation: After killing one prop, a text should appear. This worked so far. But I want to make the game to choose between four different Popup Screens. I consider using math.random or any timers. But I have no idea how to make a fuction read another function.

Here's that bit of my lua with that conversation function: Oh an by the way. I am using talk boxes as "destructablebuildings". I would like to use the collisions of animated props but I didn't find the right ClassLabel for destructable animated props. I tried AnimatedBuilding, ArmedAnimatedBuilding and various other ones. I also don't want to use standing Bots instead of animated props since I need all 8 avaiable teams.

I also wonder how many animated props can be placed on one single map just btw?

All you have to do is nest your randomization function within your current function. Simply stick the whole thing in right after the line:

Thank you for your reply, AQT

I did what you said but now the entire function (OnObjectKill etc.) is gone in-game. I put this right under function ScriptPostLoad(): And this is how that part is looking now:

Hmm, you probably don't need the part you put under function ScriptPostLoad(). But you were on the right track; I'm pretty sure the following modification of the code you posted should work.

Thanks a lot, AQT. It's working now. The function returned and everything else works fine. You helped me a lot with your help

EDIT: This might be off-topic but how is it possible to "kill" a function. I put this function (the one from above) inside Objective1. But when the Object has finished I want to remove that function. So no text would appear after the talk-box has been "destroyed" through my lua. In general; how to activate and de-activate functions?

Late reply: Why not nest the contents of your function inside something that checks whether the function has already run? Something like this (forgive me, my Lua is a bit rusty):

Much more efficient would be to instead write:

ReleaseObjectKill(friend) when you want 'friend' to stop checking for object kills.
