Concepts

Some concepts are used throughout the dialogs scripting. This page describes them in detail. If you are not familiar with dialogs scripting, you should read about C_INFO and AI_Output() first.

Dialog

Speaking about a dialog in Gothic we usually mean a C_INFO instance. The dialog is a sequence of AI_Output() calls that are executed in a defined order. Calling the AI_Output() we define the speaker NPC, and the target NPC, but in vanilla scripts we are limited to the dialog owner (self) and the player (other/hero).

Multilog

Multilog is a dialog that is not limited to a single speaker and a single target (same as a Trialog). It allows to have multiple NPCs speaking in a single C_INFO instance. Multilogs are designed to be contained within one C_INFO instance (dailog) and cannot exceed it.
