Diff between "Activated" and "start script"

I am having some trouble with dialogues which start when they are not supposed to...

Mainly they start as soon as I am in Game Master mode when clicking test and even tho they are supposed to start at following condition:

Dialogue 1: start when NPC targeted by player and cut throat group is alive
Dialogue 2: start when NPC targeted by player and cut throat group is dead

Wish that was that easy tho lol: they seem to start as from test and do not work after when I click on NPC..... (used to before patch)

I am thinking this might be due to my "not so good" understanding of the :
*Activated
* Start script...

Anyone got any light on difference between those?
(and I am not talking yet about nightmare to have Kitin invasion group spawning after dialogue 4 is started lol)

:)

the "autowhat"? :)

That could have been my next question :)
/self target
/slap

Edit: Ok, unticketed autostart but now, dialogue doesnt even start when I target NPC..
Edit 2: had to redo all dialogue condition, now it's working ...

i always use, start at step #x function.

activated..

think that is triggered when the item is changed from inactive (disabled) to active (enabled).

start script starts the script from the beginning taking its active.

so if you put an event on a inactive dialog (start script on activation event) it should start automaticly when its activated, autostarting sorta, with the difference it starts when when you want it.
