			== Scripted Dialog, Timers, and Inventory Checking ==
			In this tutorial we modify our quest so that combat does not start immediately when taking the generator. Instead, we'll have one of the NPCs initiate a dialog with the player and give them five seconds to drop the generator before becoming hostile. The tutorial introduces story scripting to start dialogs, create and process timers, and check the player's inventory for a specific item. Towards the end it also provides some suggestions on how to go about finding the right Osiris calls for your needs at any given time. <br />

 == Overview ==
-This tutorial will provide an overview of all the steps necessary to implement a quest in a standalone campaign from scratch. It will not delve into any one area in great detail, the goal is to provide a 'big picture' walk through of some of the more commonly desired components in a quest. I will keep adding to it as time permits and when community feedback indicates additional areas of need. The current plan is to cover at least the following issues:

			== Character Creation ==
			In this tutorial we tackle adding real Character Creation to the campaign so that it can be played both within the editor and from the game client. We'll create a new goal in the story editor and paste in some code released by Larian for a standalone campaign. Then we will edit that code to workaround a discovered bug that prevents game made characters from entering combat with hostile NPCs. After we get our script working, we'll revisit it and go over what some of the frames within the goal are doing. Lastly, we will create a player companion that automatically gets added to the party when the game starts.<br />

			== Building Your First Story ==
			The Story is an essential element to any campaign and should be compiled soon after creating your terrain. In this episode we cover the concept of a story and how it functions in the game. We'll go over how to build it and include a basic introduction to writing your own goals. <br />

			== Customizing Doors, Containers, and Object Tooltip Display ==
			In this tutorial we move on from our quest setup and create a simple building with an entrance door. We examine the properties that control whether it is locked and how it can be unlocked. We also look at how to specify the strength of the door for potential destruction. We examine containers and adding items to them as well as pseudo-random treasure tables. Finally, we look at "Tooltip Type" settings for controlling when an object's display name is visible in the world.<br />

			In this tutorial we re-visit our dialog to make it reflect the quest progression. Instead of asking the same question over and over and re-offering the quest, we add some additional dialog nodes and flags to provide a better user experience. We also use the dialog to trigger the giving of a weapon to the player through a story script, and we cover some useful debugging tools for dialogs and story scripts.<br />
