NPC Battle Activation
I am trying to make a script where after talking to an NPC a fight will start but I can't find anything in the plotscripting dictionary to help me and I have no idea how to make it

To start a battle from a script, use the fight formation command.
However, you don't need a script to start a battle after a textbox: there's a textbox conditional to do that. Go to the Edit Conditional submenu and look for the BATTLE section. The battle is triggered after the box is advanced but before the next textbox.

This is actually easier to do with text boxes than with a script.
When you talk to the NPC, a text box will be displayed.
In the text box editor, look at the "Edit Conditionals" menu
Look for "BATTLE:" and change it to "Always do the following" and then choose the battle formation number

This is the same method that allows you to add/remove heroes without scripting, gain items or money without scripting, or manipulate tags to make NPCs disappear and appear without scripting.

I kinda feels stupid for not seeing that BATTLE option now
