Need dialogue help

[Sam.]

i have been in these forums fr quite a while and have made a couple of games. However in all of them i have struggled with dialogue. Meaning i just can't do it. I have even gone so fa as creating and scripting whole new gui systems to escape using dialogues. Howeveri feel it's time i learnt. i tried copying and pasting the example dialogue from the help file but that didn;t work . WHat interaction do i have to use for a dialogue to open. Enable dialogue option doesn't work. Maybe i am entering the wrong criteri. can anyone help/ send me an example of what i need to do?

RunDialog (int topic)

It's almost impossible to understand what you really want to do. Start a dialogue? Script it?
Let's assume you made a dialogue which must be happen when character uses talk cursor on some other. Under "characters" see that other character's "interactions", find "Player talks to character", put "run script" there and give a command RunDialog(int topic) and put a number of that dialog instead of "int topic". Easy?
Oh, and just download AGS demo game and see how It's done there!!
