Help with NPC Dialogues (UDMF)

[JohnCook1994]

Hello there, I have a problem with interactable NPCs, I looked up this link https://forum.zdoom.org/viewtopic.php?f=39&t=52710/

I've done a bit of what he said, here is the dialogue for MAP53, I want to make a townlike setting with NPCs that talk and a merchant.

namespace = "zdoom";
include = "script00";

conversation
{
    //A Civilian of Stannis speaks to you.
    actor = "StannisCivilian";
    page
    {
        name = "Citizen";
        dialog = "Hello there.";
        
    }
}

conversation
{
    //Zofa the Shopkeeper
    id = 2;
    actor = "Zofa";
    page
    {
        name = "Zofa the Shopkeeper";
        dialog = "Welcome to Zofa's Shop, whatcha wanna buy?";
        choice
        {
            text = "Ammo Box";
            yesmessage = "Here's a replenisment of ammo!";
            giveitem = "ClipBox";
            closedialog = true;
        }
        choice
        {
            text = "Box of Shells";
            yesmessage = "Here's the wide ranged box!";
            giveitem = "ShellBox";
            closedialog = true;
        }
        choice
        {
            text = "Box of Rockets";
            yesmessage = "Thanks, be sure to blow up Cyberdemons!";
            giveitem = "RocketBox";
            closedialog = true;
        }
        choice
        {
            text = "Cell Charge Pack";
            yesmessage = "My my, a wise choice! Burn these baddies up!";
            giveitem = "CellPack";

The problem is, when I test this map on GZDOOM Builder (UDMF format), I can't interact with them. Could somebody help me with that, I would appreciate that. Thank you!

Double and triple check your curly braces. If you're missing even one of them, the script won't trigger at all.

hate to revive a dead thread but I have a copy and paste you can use:

conversation
{
    //A shady outcast of Pheimos speaks to you.
    id = 8; <------ NOTE THAT IS UNREQUIRED IF IT IS THE ONLY MONSTER IN THE LEVEL OF THAT CLASS THAT HAS DIALOG
    actor = "Imp";
    page
    {
        name = "Ally imp";
        dialog = "hey kid u want a shotgun?";
        goodbye = "fuck no you fucking creep!";
        choice
        {
          text = "uhhhh sure?";
          yesmessage = "good choice,kid!";
          giveitem = "Shotgun";
          closedialog = true;
          }
          
    }
}

just replace what I have and you're good to go

DUDE! OMG!!!! Thank you Bionic_Spencer! Now my Merchant Bloated Butcher can talk now!!!!!!!!!

[JohnCook1994]

Okay, it may sound weird, but here's the problem. I got Zofa the Bloated Butcher Merchant to work, but when I added the citizen of Stannis, he won't do anything. I'll get the code ready. Thank you!
