Party Management via Dialog

So here is a rather long 1 hour tutorial (apologies) on how you can give the player the ability to manage a party by talking to NPCs

- The player can recruit companions via dialog with them. - They can dismiss them and then remove them from the party. - They can replace with another character again by a simple conversation. - There are no dependencies on other mods.

There is a also a variable for Maximum party size so you can restrict the number of companions (although the player can swap out whoever they like as long as they don't over do the maximum party number)

Here is the complete video tutorial which starts from a complete blank level. The code is in the post below (and is commented) if you would rather cut and paste.


Here is the code.
