PlayActorConversation

conversation is the game’s name of one (the conversations) or a plain word picked by the two actors’ genders: greeting, greeting_noble, farewell, gossip, gossip_kuttenberg, gossip_noble, gossip_tavern, gossip_drunk, gossip_miners, gossip_smelters, gossip_bandits, gossip_bandits_road, gossip_beggars, gossip_travellers, shop_chat, guard_change, argument. The actor whose body fits a part’s gender takes it. They turn to each other; one standing listens in the game’s dialogue pose between its lines (a seated or working one keeps its pose, its gestures from the waist up); each line comes in the speaker’s voice with its gesture and face. sequence picks one of the conversation’s ways through it (-1, or none, at random). OnActorConversationEnd at its end.
