Lua doNPCTalkALot sending messages to every player in range

[Glecko]

So I have this problem. I am using the function doNPCTalkALot to make NPC's say different messages with delays.
But whenever I use that function, every player in talking range gets the messages (not just the player meant to get the message) which is very confusing for players.

I have tried this function:

	function NpcHandler:cancelNPCTalk(events)
		for aux = 1, #events do
			stopEvent(events[aux].event)
		end
		events = nil
	end

	function NpcHandler:doNPCTalkALot(msgs, interval, pcid)
		if self.eventDelayedSay[pcid] then
			self:cancelNPCTalk(self.eventDelayedSay[pcid])
		end

		self.eventDelayedSay[pcid] = {}
		local ret = {}
		for aux = 1, #msgs do
			self.eventDelayedSay[pcid][aux] = {}
			doCreatureSayWithDelay(getNpcCid(), msgs[aux], TALKTYPE_PRIVATE_NP, ((aux-1) * (interval or 10000)) + 1000, self.eventDelayedSay[pcid][aux], pcid)
			table.insert(ret, self.eventDelayedSay[pcid][aux])
		end
		return(ret)
	end

This one too:

	function npcDelayedTalk(cid, text, player)
		if isNpc(cid) and isPlayer(player) then
			doCreatureSay(cid, text, TALKTYPE_PRIVATE_NP, false, player, getThingPos(cid))
		end
	end


	function NpcHandler:doNPCTalkALot(msgs, interval, pcid)
		if self.eventDelayedSay[pcid] then
			self:cancelNPCTalk(self.eventDelayedSay[pcid])
		end

		self.eventDelayedSay[pcid] = {}
		local ret = {}
		for aux = 1, #msgs do
			self.eventDelayedSay[pcid][aux] = {}
			doCreatureSayWithDelay(getNpcCid(), msgs[aux], TALKTYPE_PRIVATE_NP, ((aux-1) * (interval or 10000)) + 1000, self.eventDelayedSay[pcid][aux], pcid)
			table.insert(ret, self.eventDelayedSay[pcid][aux])
		end
		return(ret)
	end

Those 2 have the same problem but work. Finally I tried this function:

    function storyTalk(messages, focus, i, self)
        if self:isFocused(focus) then
            selfSay(messages[i], focus)
        end
    end
    
    function NpcHandler:story(messages, focus, storyDelay)
        if self:isFocused(focus) then
            selfSay(messages[1], focus)
            local delay = storyDelay
            for i = 2, #messages do
                addEvent(storyTalk, storyDelay, messages, focus, i, self)
                storyDelay = storyDelay + delay
            end
        end
    end

Which gives me the follwing error:




So my conclusion is... if anybody knows what's the problem, I would be super happy (and give lots of rep++) if you fixed it, but if you have no idea why it's not working, but got a working npchandler.lua (along with the rest of the npcsystem files) I would also appreciate it a lot if you shared it

Thanks in advance!

Try to compile this one, I belive it will work like 'doCreatureSayWithDelay' but says directly to player.

If I understood your script correctly, it's only a function that checks if the NPC is focused before sending out a message.
That's not the problem I have, since npcHandler:say() and selfSay() work propperly (are only being sent to the targeted player). The problem only starts when I use the doNPCTalkALot function.

Does this work?

Exactly the same problem, the messages are sent to all the players in talking range.
