	Dialogue_Events are what the game uses for VO. ~~So for example~~, ''~~campaign_vo_selected~~'' ~~is for when~~ you ~~select one of your own characters on~~ the ~~campaign map~~. ~~Or '~~'~~battle_vo_order_attack~~'~~' is for when you tell one of your units to attack another in battle~~. Or ''~~campaign_vo_cs_proximity'' is for when certain characters are within proximity of each other on the campaign map~~.		=== State Paths ===
			Dialogue_Events are what the game uses for VO. Dialogue_Events are triggered when a set of conditions in game are met. These conditions are represented by State paths. State paths are made up of States, and States are part of State Groups.

			You can see State paths by inspecting a Dialogue Event e.g. ''campaign_vo_move'' in the Audio explorer. There you will see all the State paths associated with that Dialogue_Event e.g.: ''wh2_dlc13_vo_actor_Empire_Markus_Wulfhart.Any''.

	Dialogue_Events are triggered when a set of conditions in game are met. These conditions are represented by State paths. State paths are made up of States, and States are part of State Groups. When inspecting a Dialogue Event e.g. ''campaign_vo_move'' in the Audio explorer you see all the State paths associated with the Dialogue_Event e.g.: ''wh2_dlc13_vo_actor_Empire_Markus_Wulfhart.Any''.		Referring to the list of [[Audio_modding#Dialogue_Events\|Dialogue_Events]] below we can see the State Groups that make up the State path of a Dialogue_Event e.g.: ''campaign_vo_move - [VO_Actor.VO_Campaign_Order_Move_Type]''.

	When inspecting a Dialogue Event e.g. ''campaign_vo_move''in the Audio explorer you see ~~a bunch of things that look like this~~: ''wh2_dlc13_vo_actor_Empire_Markus_Wulfhart.Any''~~. That is a State path. It is the set of conditions in the game required to play the audio~~.		These conditions are represented by State paths. They are the set of conditions in the game required to play the audio. State paths are made up of States, and States are part of State Groups. When inspecting a Dialogue Event e.g. ''campaign_vo_move'' in the Audio explorer you see all the State paths associated with the Dialogue_Event e.g.: ''wh2_dlc13_vo_actor_Empire_Markus_Wulfhart.Any''.

	~~Each~~ State in the path ~~is separated by~~ a ".". ~~So the first State is~~ ''~~wh2_dlc13_vo_actor_Empire_Markus_Wulfhart'' and the second State is ''Any~~''.		Referring to the list of [[Audio_modding#Dialogue_Events\|Dialogue_Events]] below we can see the State Groups that make up the State path of a Dialogue_Event e.g.: ''campaign_vo_move : VO_Actor.VO_Campaign_Order_Move_Type''.

	~~That means that if the character you are telling~~ to ~~move is using~~ the ~~VO_Actor key wh2_dlc13_vo_actor_Empire_Markus_Wulfhart~~ and ~~it is moving on the campaign map while the 'Any' State is supplied by the game~~ - ~~that is to say while moving either on land or at sea. If those~~ State ~~conditions are met then it will play the audio linked to that State path~~.		Referring to the list of [[Audio_modding#Game-Defined_States\|Game-Defined States]] and [[Audio_modding#Modder-Defined_States\|Modder-Defined States]] we can see what States we can set in a path for each State Group.

	Similarly a State path of ''wh2_dlc13_vo_actor_Empire_Markus_Wulfhart.sea'' means that the audio will play if the character is moving on the campaign map while the 'sea' State is supplied by the game - that is to say while moving at sea.		Each State Group in the path is separated by a ".". So the first State Group is ''VO_Actor''. The State that is being used within this State Group is ''wh2_dlc13_vo_actor_Empire_Markus_Wulfhart''. The second State Group is ''VO_Campaign_Order_Move_Type''. The State being used here is ''Any''. That means that it will play the audio linked to the State path if the character you are telling to move is using the VO_Actor key wh2_dlc13_vo_actor_Empire_Markus_Wulfhart and it is moving on the campaign map while the 'Any' State is supplied by the game - that is to say while any of the States in the State Group are true i.e. moving on ''land'' or at ''sea''.

			Similarly a State path of ''wh2_dlc13_vo_actor_Empire_Markus_Wulfhart.sea'' means that the related audio will play if the character is moving on the campaign map while the 'sea' State is supplied by the game - that is to say while moving at sea.

	If a character is moving at sea and has a 'sea' State path then that will take priority over an 'Any' State path.
