Npc disappearing after conversation?

[DrowzyBomber13]

Hi. I'm making a map using the UDMF format and I am wondering how I can make an npc disappear after a dialogue option is chosen. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I once used Thing_Destroy once the NPC had filled it's purpose and just had it's death states to be a teleportation effect. So you have to do some script event regarding.

Would that be scripted in acs and how would I script that? I'm very new to scripting so I don't really know where to start.

Ok so I got it to work. The problem is that when the choice is made, everything is destroyed. I don't really know how to fix that. Any help?

Please, elaborate more on "when the choice is made, everything is destroyed"...

According to the docs 'Thing_Destroy(0)' will kill all monsters. You have to give your NPC a unique tid and pass that as parameter.

Conversation
{
    ID = 22;

    Page
    {
        Name = "Dudebro";
        Dialog = "Blah blah dialogue.";

        Choice
        {
            Text = "Follow me.";
            Giveitem = "Flyingmanwhistle";

            (Where I want it to go away)
        }
    }
}

 

I would like it so that when choosing this option it goes away. The problem is that the way I had it before, it would kill every single monster on the map when making the choice

How may I do that?

[Professor Hastig]

You set it in the editor, it should be called something like "thing ID" or "thing tag"

Please, I've asked you how you made it, not how you suppose to make it. You'verepliedthat you used it and everything went away. Just show what you did, not how you suppose it to work...

Ok. I got that done, do you activate that with the Special lump in the dialogue? The way I tried it before was Special = Thing_destroy(2). However it just made it so that the dialogue wouldnt activate.

Could you send the script here? I'm having the same problem with the npc
