Sure thing. I havent been on here in a while and good to see my limited knowledge is useful to someone.

I have a dungeon boss that does something very similar to this, I used scripting and dialog to complete this.

If you are wanting the MOB to chat, summon, chat some more, summon again, chat, etc. you can easily do this with the dialog, and it will solve your problems pretty cleanly. To address the characters in the party, you do this as you would in any normal dialog (interjections, etc.) and have the actions at the end of each tree summon your monsters to specific locations. Once the monsters (via death variable) are dead, have the conversation start again. This will give you your classic 'monologue' of evil-doer in between waves of henchmen.

Here is what I have, though the area script is not here, it fires the incremental dialogs:

BEGIN MISTIM

IF ~True()Global("Mistimore","GLOBAL",0)~
THEN BEGIN A_0
SAY ~Ahhh. A mortal has entered my domain. I thought I heard the moans of my children.~ [UNEARM01]
= ~You have come all this way for naught, <PRO_RACE>, you will become one of my children soon.~
= ~Let us begin our dangerous game.~
IF ~~ THEN DO ~SetGlobal("Mistimore","GLOBAL",1)CreateCreature("decmist",[646.428],0)CreateCreature("decmist",[502.483],14)CreateCreature("decmist",[440.562],12)CreateCreature("decmist",[498.653],10)~ EXIT
END

IF ~True()Global("Mistimore","GLOBAL",1)~
THEN BEGIN A_1
SAY ~So, you think you can get the better of me then? These puppets are fodder, but let me get my ammusement from them.~ [UNEARM02]
= ~You will die here yet, <CHARNAME>.~
IF ~~ THEN DO ~SetGlobal("Mistimore","GLOBAL",2)CreateCreature("decmis2",[646.428],0)CreateCreature("decmis2",[502.483],14)CreateCreature("decmis2",[440.562],12)CreateCreature("decmis2",[498.653],10)~ EXIT
END

IF ~True()Global("Mistimore","GLOBAL",2)~
THEN BEGIN A_2
SAY ~Very well, if you wish to be a poor sport about it, then I will deal with you myself.~ [UNEARM03]
= ~Die, fool, and may your bones walk these halls for eternity!~
IF ~~ THEN DO ~SetGlobal("Mistimore","GLOBAL",3)Enemy()ForceSpell([PC],BEHOLDER_CAUSE_SERIOUS_WOUNDS)Attack(PLAYER1)~ EXIT
END

Hope this is what you were asking about, I could be off topic entirely.

I agree with Zyraen, UAC is horrid and does nothing to enhance the experience of windows. It is meant to prevent malicious programs from altering your files, but makes it impossible for anyone to work beyond MyDocuments files. I spent hours trying to figure out why my mods were not installing, why I couldn't unzip certain packaged software from zip files, and why I had to get repeated confirmation windows for deleting simple files. After I figured out that it was UAC, I had to basically start over with all of my settings for my various games, controllers, etc. because it did not recognize any user files that belonged to UAC accounts.

I just wish I had the money to upgrade to XP.

Here is the link for the discussion on Vampire Morphs. They have been doing some really fine work on it and it looks like they are getting somewhere. I am posting this because I know what its like to rummage through dozens of topics and not have a clear idea where they actually solved their issue.

Hope this helps anyone else interested in this topic.
