[NPC] Problem with doNPCTalkALot

[Glecko]

I have been using the function doNpcTalkAlot, but I have stummbled upon two problems.
The first one is that if I walk away, the NPC will continue talking.
The second one, everytime the NPC talks, every player in talking range (3 sqm) recieves the message in the NPC window instead of just the player it is inteded to.

If anybody could help me, I would apreciate it a lot

Here are the functions I have in npchandler.lua and npc.lua

function doCreatureSayWithDelay(cid,text,type,delay,e,pcid)
        if delay<=0 then
                doCreatureSay(cid,text,type, false,pcid)
        else
                local func=function(pars)
                        doCreatureSay(pars.cid,pars.text,pars.type, false,pars.pcid)
                        pars.e.done=TRUE
                end
                e.done=FALSE
                e.event=addEvent(func,delay,{cid=cid, text=text, type=type, e=e,pcid=pcid})
        end
end

function doNPCTalkALot(msgs,interval,pcid)
        local e={}
        local ret={}
        if interval==nil then interval=10000 end --10 seconds is default time between messages
                for aux=1,table.getn(msgs) do
                e[aux]={}
                doCreatureSayWithDelay(getNpcCid(),msgs[aux],TALKTYPE_PRIVATE_FROM_NPC,(aux-1)*interval,e[aux],pcid)
                table.insert(ret,e[aux])
        end
        return(ret)
end

You should make it another way upper functions are sux.

Solution:

Add in your script for example 1 msg:
local a = {npc = getNpcCid()}
eMsg1 = addEvent(Msg1,2000,a)
--- remember to use different msg names like eMsg1,eMsg2,eMsg3 even in another npc always.

Also use stopevent when someone walk away from npc or saying bye example:

function Msg1(a)
doCreatureSay(a.npc,"All right then, human. Have you ever heard of the 'Tears of Daraman'? ...",1)
end

npcHandler:setCallback(CALLBACK_FAREWELL, NpcWalkAway)

function NpcWalkAway(cid)
 stopEvent(eMsg1)
 return 1
end

Isn't there any way to 'repair' doNPCtalkalot? I have already made 100+ NPCs, and they all use donpctalkalot. By using your function i would need to re-script all of them.

So you should check this:
Lua code for npc telling long stories (corrected and slighly bettered)

Could you adjust it so it calls that function when I use the function doNPCTalkALot? I already made 100+ NPCs using that function and editing all of them is... a lot of work

 

[Glecko]

Maybe making one function call the other one?

It also sends the message to every player in talking range... :S
