Checked example
Active call in a local runtime Lua script. Audio, keys, and language default empty or zero; close defaults to enabled. The binding also handles arguments dynamically. This is a contextual call pattern, not a tested standalone script.
StartDialogConversation(con, 1, NPC, Spawn, "Upon the wall you see a shiny axe.")
