Mod Tutorial: Chatty Advisor
"I wouldn’t be doing my job right unless I told you not to do that." – Your Advisor, probably.
What good is an Advisor if you can’t talk to them? This mod allows you to ask your advisor for advice, and they’ll provide hints for what to do.
Along with being a fully playable mod, this mod code acts as a step by step modding tutorial that teaches a modder how to:
1. Listen for GameEvents to insert your custom mod code.
2. Add/Remove a conversation on a character.
3. Create a dynamic conversation that will be adapt to what’s happening in the game, allowing you to create unique dialog for incredibly rare circumstances that may surprise the player.
