When starting conversations through scripting, you would use the function "ActionStartConversation()" In the Lexicon we see that there are 3 parameters. action ActionStartConversation( object,string,int) object oObjectToConverseWith, string sDialogResRef = "", int bPublicConversation = FALSE Simply using ActionStartConversation( oPC); Will make the object start the conversation that is attached to it with the PC only. If you include the last parameter and set it to TRUE, then it becomes audible to everyone.
