Lua Basic NPC Help

[Black Reaper]

Can someone show me a simple NPC script just respond based on what the player says. Not just one keyword like I see all the scripts or: "would you like blah" player -> "yes" , something happens. I tried doing:

	if msgcontains(msg, 'quest') then
			selfSay('Huh? Quest? Just a simple post office here. That all?', cid)
			if msgcontains(msg, 'no') then
				selfSay('Gonna have to be more specific than that lad', cid)
			else
				selfSay('Come again! -wisper- not that you have other options', cid)
			end
	end

Player says quest, npc responds with the proper message but also adds "Come again~" instead of waiting for a response. I can't find any resource on NPC scripting. Help is appreciated.

Pretty sure you need to use talkStates.

Like, after you say "quest", give the player a talkState value.
Then if there's a response, like yes or no, check for the talkState value and confirm.

For example:

NPC: Hello, want to do a quest?
<give talkState value 1>
You: Yes

Then, if message contains "yes" and talkState == 1, then
NPC: Okay, first you need to do this, bla bla.
<give talkState value 2>

OR:

You: No

Then, if message contains "no" and talkState == 1, then
NPC: Okay, ask me anytime when you want to begin the quest!
<give talkState value 0>


If you said "yes" and completed the quest, then you'd do something like this:

If message contains "quest" and talkState == 2, then
NPC: Have you completed the quest?
<give talkState value 3>
You: Yes

Then, if message contains "yes" and talkState == 3, then
NPC: Okay, here is your reward.


Refer to this to see an example: http://otland.net/f83/quest-missions-185514/

Any resource, help, explanation on talkStates would be great.
