On a npc idk about to check a spesific player (Like msg contain) since i don't work much with npcs ): but on a talkaction script it's like this..

if getPlayerByName(param) == FALSE then
doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_DEFAULT, "The player is not online ):")

doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_DEFAULT, "The player is not online ):")

In talkactions its: if isPlayer(param) == TRUE

    selfSay("Tell me the name of the player.", cid)
    talkState[talkUser] = 1
    if talkState[talkUser] == 1 then
        if isPlayer(msg) == TRUE then
            selfSay("okiii", cid)
            talkState[talkUser] = 2
        else
            selfSay("no, no, no...", cid)
            talkState[talkUser] = 0
        end
    end

Probably...

Try if this works:

local keywordHandler = KeywordHandler:new()
local npcHandler = NpcHandler:new(keywordHandler)
NpcSystem.parseParameters(npcHandler)
local talkState = {}

function onCreatureAppear(cid)				npcHandler:onCreatureAppear(cid)			end
function onCreatureDisappear(cid)			npcHandler:onCreatureDisappear(cid)			end
function onCreatureSay(cid, type, msg)			npcHandler:onCreatureSay(cid, type, msg)		end
function onThink()					npcHandler:onThink()					end

function creatureSayCallback(cid, type, msg)
	if(not npcHandler:isFocused(cid)) then
		return false
	end

	local talkUser = NPCHANDLER_CONVBEHAVIOR == CONVERSATION_DEFAULT and 0 or cid

	if msgcontains(msg, "player") then
		selfSay("Tell me the name of the player please.", cid)
		talkState[talkUser] = 1
	end
	if talkState[talkUser] == 1 then
		if isPlayer(msg) == TRUE then
			selfSay(msg.." exist in database.", cid)
			talkState[talkUser] = 0
		else
			selfSay(msg.." does not exist in database. Please try again.", cid)
			talkState[talkUser] = 1
		end
	end
	return true
end

npcHandler:setCallback(CALLBACK_MESSAGE_DEFAULT, creatureSayCallback)
npcHandler:addModule(FocusModule:new())
