Skip "phrase" from NPC

[Hubb777]

Hi all. I plan to make it possible to skip some dialogue when talking to NPCs. But there is an error in the code. Please tell me the solution.

local addonName = ...
local AutoSelectGossip = {
    [48598] = true,
    [109275] = true,
};
 
local function IsAutoSelectOption(gossipOptionID)
    return gossipOptionID and AutoSelectGossip[gossipOptionID] == true
end
addon.IsAutoSelectOption = IsAutoSelectOption;

local addonName = ...
local AutoSelectGossip = {
    [48598] = true,
    [109275] = true,
};
     
local function IsAutoSelectOption(gossipOptionID)
    return gossipOptionID and AutoSelectGossip[gossipOptionID] == true
end
addon.IsAutoSelectOption = IsAutoSelectOption;

You haven't defined addon. My guess is it is suppsed to be your addon's private table (NameSpace) so:

local addonName, addon = ...
local AutoSelectGossip = {
    [48598] = true,
    [109275] = true,
};
     
local function IsAutoSelectOption(gossipOptionID)
    return gossipOptionID and AutoSelectGossip[gossipOptionID] == true
end
addon.IsAutoSelectOption = IsAutoSelectOption;

Hello. Yes the error is gone. But the code doesn't work. NPC dialogue is no longer skipped.

This is the dialog ID

local AutoSelectGossip = {
    [48598] = true,
    [109275] = true,
};

Or should the code be like this? Then how to insert several dialogues from different NPCs there?

local function EL_OnGossipShow(self, event, ...)
    if ENABLE_AUTO_REPORT and UnitName("npc") == HUBB then
        if GossipFrame and GossipFrame:IsShown() then
            local options = C_GossipInfo.GetOptions();
            if options and options[1] and options[1].gossipOptionID == 109275 then
                C_GossipInfo.SelectOption(109275);
                return
            end
        end
    end
end

i got ChatGPT to whip this up for me a bit ago.

--/dump C_GossipInfo.GetOptions()
        --use above on every dialog to capture gossip IDs
        local NPC_LIST = {
            ["Katy Stampwhistle"] = {48598},
            ["Haephesta"] = {56395, 55039}, --selects option 1, then 3
        }
 
        local AutoGossip = CreateFrame("Frame")
        function AutoGossip:OnEvent(_, type)
            if IsShiftKeyDown() then return end
            if type ~= Enum.PlayerInteractionType.Gossip then return end
            local npcName = GossipFrame.TitleContainer.TitleText:GetText()
            if not npcName then return end
            local gossips = NPC_LIST[npcName]
            if not gossips then return end
            local options = C_GossipInfo.GetOptions()
            if not options then return end
            for _, option in ipairs(options) do
                if tContains(gossips, option.gossipOptionID) then
                    C_GossipInfo.SelectOption(option.gossipOptionID)
                    return
                end
            end
        end
 
        AutoGossip:SetScript("OnEvent", AutoGossip.OnEvent)
        AutoGossip:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_INTERACTION_MANAGER_FRAME_SHOW")

Thanks it worked. And thanks for the idea to use AI.
