Syntax:

Say TopicID ForceSubtitleFlag* SpeakerID* UnknownFlag*  

(* = Optional)

Use the function to have an NPC speak a single dialogue item on the specified topic.

Examples:

Say SecretTopic 
DAMolagBalSpeech 1 DAMolagBalVoice 1

Notes:

"Say" returns the time in seconds that the NPC will take to finish speaking, which can be useful for timing followups in scripts.

If ForceSubtitleFlag = 1, the subtitles will be displayed regardless of distance between the speaker and the player.

With the optional "SpeakerID" it's possible to make a creature, an activator or another Object say something. The ID needs to be a NPC which will be used to determine race and gender of the voice-file to be used. For this, the NPC doesn't need to be placed in the world.

the "Unknown flag" is set to 1 in all daedra-shrine scripts, it is recommended to set it to 1 whenever you use the SpeakerID.
