OnNpcConversationStart

OxideCarbonNPC

Called when an npc conversation starts.

object OnNpcConversationStart(NPCTalking nPCTalking, BasePlayer ply, ConversationData local2)

Method changed — check — the game method differs from the one the hook is recorded for in Oxide. The hook is still called, but its place may have shifted — worth checking after an update.

Parameters

nPCTalking: NPCTalking
ply: BasePlayer
local2: ConversationData

Return value

objectReturn non-null to cancel the game action.

Example

object — you can affect the game: return a value to change or cancel the action.

private object OnNpcConversationStart(NPCTalking nPCTalking, BasePlayer ply, ConversationData local2)
{
    Puts("OnNpcConversationStart");

    // change nothing — the game continues as usual
    return null;

    // to affect the game:
    // return false; // non-null cancels the game action
}

Works in both Oxide and Carbon: Carbon loads Oxide plugins as is.
