Hey, from what I understand: selfSay("text", target) is how it works.

NPC now talks in channels, to different players same time if I'm not mistaken.

I've created this small, untested, script:

local ispiro_npc_delay = {}
function say(text, target)
	local cid = getNpcCid()
	local delay = ispiro_npc_delay[cid][target] or getWorldUpTime()
	if(getWorldUpTime() >= delay) then
		selfSay(text, target)
		ispiro_npc_delay[cid][target] = getWorldUpTime()+1
	else
		addEvent(say, 250, text, target) -- try again in a second?
	end
end

It's probably not what you want exactly, but thought maybe it might give someone an idea.

Sorry I couldn't help much. However, if you wish not to use the script for the latest 'chat channels', then this script might be what you want:

local ispiro_npc_delay = {}
function say(text)
	local cid = getNpcCid()
	local delay = ispiro_npc_delay[cid] or getWorldUpTime()
	if(getWorldUpTime() >= delay) then
		selfSay(text)
		ispiro_npc_delay[cid] = getWorldUpTime()+1
	else
		addEvent(say, 250, text) -- try again in a second?
	end
end

say('Text1') -- says the text, and sets the last time npc spoke
say('Text2') -- attempts to say text, but fails, so tries again later
say('Text3') -- same as above

I guess he just wanted:
selfSay("text1", cid)
addEvent(selfSay, 1000, "text2", cid)
addEvent(selfSay, 2000, "text3", cid)

Dunno if its the correct form of addEvent tho

Yea, I thought of that, but what if he doesn't want it in that order, but the order player requests it.

For example:
Player: Hi
NPC: Hello
Player: Quest
NPC: Sorry, I don't have a quest for you //1 second before speaking from last msg
Player: Hi
NPC: I'm already talking to you //1 second again

Player: Hi
NPC: Hello
Player: Hi
NPC: I'm already talking to you //1 second from last message,
Player: Quest
NPC: Sorry, I don't have a quest for you //again, 1 second from last message

It wouldn't work if you just use addEvents inside the npc script itself.

I wanted something like Story teller ^^ with a pause before next 'SelfSay'. I Tried it with addEvent but then few npc are talking :?

Text1 after 1sec
Text2 after 2sec
Etc.


Code:

selfSay('Text1')

selfSay( 'Text2' )

selfSay('Text3')

With addevents one npc Say text1 after delay another random npc say text2 etc ;/

I'm not using my computer at the moment, so the script might seem a bit messy.

function say(cid, text)
    doCreatureSay(cid, text)
end

selfSay('Text1')
addEvent(say, 1000, getNpcCid(), 'Text2')
addEvent(say, 2000, getNpcCid(), 'Text3')
addEvent(say, 3000, getNpcCid(), 'Text4')

-- an alternative can be:
local text = {"text1", "text2", "text3", "text4"}
for i, v in ipairs(text) do
     addEvent(say, (i*1000)-1000, getNpcCid(), v)
end

Hope I helped,
Ispiro.

Nah it doesnt work
There is bug which says "addevent : a parameter should be a function" or something like that.

Maybe someone have a function getNpcCid()? P
I think i should add it into functions.lua

Btw. Im using TFS 0.3

Well, I'm not sure really what's the problem.

But just an idea, try using this instead:

function say(param)
    doCreatureSay(param.cid, param.text)
end

selfSay('Text1')
addEvent(say, 1000, {cid = getNpcCid(), text = 'Text2'})
addEvent(say, 2000, {cid = getNpcCid(), text = 'Text3'})
addEvent(say, 3000, {cid = getNpcCid(), text = 'Text4'})

If this doesn't work, please send me the whole script, and sentences you want the NPC to say. I promise it'll stay private, and that way I'll have a better chance of seeing that I'm doing wrong.
