Eliminating Excess Triggers

[Mr.BoDean]

There are a couple of places where I have 2 stacked triggers so that there is a delay between effects and dialogue, for instance. Is there a way to add a time delay between sidechats in the OnActivation line of the same trigger?

i.e., in a script u could have :

P1 sidechat "Blah Blah Blah";
~3
P2 sidechat "Well, Blahbety Blah blah";
exit

So, can you make all of that happen in one trigger? I've gotten errors when I tried before.    I'm sure there are other places where I could eliminate triggers if I knew a better way to condense things into one.

Not as far as I know. The best solution would be to make a script of all your sidechats. Scripts are great, learn them well m'kay.  
You can have tens of triggers in one script.

thanks, Arty  ...this is true. I am actually using several scripts that do combine several events and chats. I'm just trying to cut down on some lag issues and didn't want to add another script.  Just thought there might be a simple way to use the ~3 command in a trigger.   :-\

An alternative that is to use gamelogics (as BIS did).
Give them waypoints, with delays and the speech in their OnAct lines...
