Need Help how do i edit the way an npc addresses me based on patent rank

[begginfokillz]

hi. this is a question related to a mod im working on. how do i change the way an npc addresses charles, based on current rank of the equipped patent?

my current code is as follows:

case "Shylock_deluxe_officer":
{
if (isMainCharacterPatented() && sti(Items[sti(pchar.EquipedPatentId)].TitulCur) >= 1)
{
dialog.text = "What do you need, "+pchar.EquipedPatentId.TitulCur+" "+pchar.name+"?";
Link.l1 = "Listen to my order!";
Link.l1.go = "stay_follow";
link.l2 = "Tell me about yourself!";
link.l2.go = "Shylock_deluxe";
link.l3 = "Nothing at the moment. At ease!";
link.l3.go = "exit";
NextDiag.TempNode = "Shylock_deluxe_officer";
}
}
else
{
{
dialog.text = "What do you need, Monsieur "+pchar.name+"?";
Link.l1 = "Listen to my order!";
Link.l1.go = "stay_follow";
link.l2 = "Tell me about yourself!";
link.l2.go = "Shylock_deluxe";
link.l3 = "Nothing at the moment. At ease!";
link.l3.go = "exit";
NextDiag.TempNode = "Shylock_deluxe_officer";
}
}
break;

issue is it works to an extent. aka, with no rank, he replies proper, wityh rank, he said error

any help is much appreciated


EDIT: every time i talk with the guy, this happens:

No clue but mayby something like this may help you come with a solution:

void Set_inDialog_Attributes()
{
    ref The_Character_is;

    The_Character_is = GetMainCharacter();
    if (!CheckAttribute(The_Character_is, "sex") || The_Character_is.sex == "man")
    {
        Address_Form.Spa = "senor";
        Address_Form.Fra = "monsieur";
        Address_Form.Eng = "sir";
        Address_Form.Hol = "mynheer";
        Address_Form.Pir = "sir";
    }
    else
    {
        Address_Form.Spa = "senorita";
        Address_Form.Fra = "mademoiselle";
        Address_Form.Eng = "miss";
        Address_Form.Hol = "lady";
        Address_Form.Pir = "miss";
    }
    Address_Form.Spa.Title1 = "Corsair";
    Address_Form.Fra.Title1 = "Privateer";
    Address_Form.Eng.Title1 = "Caper";
    Address_Form.Hol.Title1 = "Filibuster";
    Address_Form.Pir.Title1 = "Pirate";

    Address_Form.Spa.Title2 = "Commander";
    Address_Form.Fra.Title2 = "Commander";
    Address_Form.Eng.Title2 = "Commander";
    Address_Form.Hol.Title2 = "Commander";
    Address_Form.Pir.Title2 = "Commander";
  
    Address_Form.Spa.Title3 = "Captain";
    Address_Form.Fra.Title3 = "Captain";
    Address_Form.Eng.Title3 = "Captain";
    Address_Form.Hol.Title3 = "Captain";
    Address_Form.Pir.Title3 = "Captain";

    Address_Form.Spa.Title4 = "Commodore";
    Address_Form.Fra.Title4 = "Commodore";
    Address_Form.Eng.Title4 = "Commodore";
    Address_Form.Hol.Title4 = "Commodore";
    Address_Form.Pir.Title4 = "Commodore";

    Address_Form.Spa.Title5 = "Admiral";
    Address_Form.Fra.Title5 = "Admiral";
    Address_Form.Eng.Title5 = "Admiral";
    Address_Form.Hol.Title5 = "Admiral";
    Address_Form.Pir.Title5 = "Admiral";

    Address_Form.Spa.woman = "senora";
    Address_Form.Fra.woman = "madame";
    Address_Form.Eng.woman = "missis";
    Address_Form.Hol.woman = "lady";
    Address_Form.Pir.woman = "missis";

    Address_Form.Spa.man = "senor";
    Address_Form.Fra.man = "monsieur";
    Address_Form.Eng.man = "sir";
    Address_Form.Hol.man = "mynheer";
    Address_Form.Pir.man = "sir";
}

or perhaps #include "dialog_func.c"
mayby ur line cant just find the titel

EDIT: this line maigh help:

GetAddress_FormTitle(sti(Items[sti(pchar.EquipedPatentId)].Nation), sti(Items[sti(pchar.EquipedPatentId)].TitulCur));

with this line ur file shuld make the connection on its own, to find the right title instead ERROR

wow, many thanks so far for the help. it is very much appreciated. iencoutnered one issue though. how do i integrate that line into a conversation, in this case, to use a part as an example:

    //------------------------------------- Address by Rank------------------------------------------
        case "Shylock_deluxe_officer":   
            dialog.text = "What do you need, Monsieur "+GetFullName(pchar)+"?";
            Link.l1 = "Listen to my order!";
            Link.l1.go = "stay_follow";
            link.l2 = "Tell me about yourself!";
            link.l2.go = "Shylock_deluxe";
            link.l3 = "Nothing at the moment. At ease!";
            link.l3.go = "exit";
            NextDiag.TempNode = "Shylock_deluxe_officer";
        break;

in summary, how would i 78integratei t into the top ling, dialog.text to be precise

 

[begginfokillz]

nevermind , i figured it out. for anyone who is curious, it should look like the following when integrated in a conversation in game:

    //------------------------------------- Address by Rank------------------------------------------
        case "Shylock_deluxe_officer":
        {
        if (isMainCharacterPatented() && sti(Items[sti(pchar.EquipedPatentId)].TitulCur) >= 1)
            {     
                dialog.text = "What do you need, "+GetAddress_FormTitle(sti(Items[sti(pchar.EquipedPatentId)].Nation), sti(Items[sti(pchar.EquipedPatentId)].TitulCur))+" "+GetFullName(pchar)+"?";
                Link.l1 = "Listen to my order!";
                Link.l1.go = "stay_follow";
                link.l2 = "Tell me about yourself!";
                link.l2.go = "Shylock_deluxe";
                link.l3 = "Nothing at the moment. At ease!";
                link.l3.go = "exit";
                NextDiag.TempNode = "Shylock_deluxe_officer";
            }
        }
        else
        {
            {     
                dialog.text = "What do you need, Monsieur "+GetFullName(pchar)+"?";
                Link.l1 = "Listen to my order!";
                Link.l1.go = "stay_follow";
                link.l2 = "Tell me about yourself!";
                link.l2.go = "Shylock_deluxe";
                link.l3 = "Nothing at the moment. At ease!";
                link.l3.go = "exit";
                NextDiag.TempNode = "Shylock_deluxe_officer";
            }
        }
        break;

as you can see, it used a plus sign on each side, in quotes, to get it to work
