Dialogue & Quests

When using a party component, dialogue & quests by default will work for an individual player.

This means that multiple players can start dialogue or quests independent of one another.

However, the benefit of using the party system is the ability to tie players together for quests & dialogue and the party system makes this really easy.

Quests

To enable a quest to be shared across all members of the party you need to start the quest on the Narrative Party component instead of the players component.

This will start the quest for all members within the party. Each time a member completes a task, it will complete it for all members at the same time.

Dialogue

To begin dialogue shared across all members of the party you need to call BeginDialogue on the Narrative Party component instead of the players component.

Dialogue options

During dialogue, options will be displayed to the players to advance the conversation. Narrative gives users the ability to decide which players can select the options.

Enumerator Name	Description
Party Leader Controlled	This option will allow only the leader of the party to pick dialogue options.
All Party Members Controlled	This option will give each party member access to the dialogue options. When any player selects an option, it will advance for all members.

Events

Events within dialogue & quests have an enum property called Party Event Policy. This controls how the event runs.

Changing this property will allow you to customise how events run for your dialogue or quests.

Conditions

Conditions within dialogue have an enum property called Party Condition Policy. This controls how the condition checks its state.
