[Synergy]

it's allready done in tfs

                                        npcHandler:say(text, cid)
					npcHandler:say(text2, cid, duration2)
                                        npcHandler:say(text3, cid, duration3)

Refreshing! Does it work on TFS 0.2.14? I have tried to get this working, but it didn't work.

For 0.4 TFS, this will work.

npcHandler:say({"Story 1",
"Story 2"
"Story 3"}, cid)

Haha, dude... I have wasted many hours trying to create some delay, or find some storyteller npc, and you paste just 3 lines of so short and so simple code... and it works?! You must be kidding me, that's greeeat! Omg, can't believe that it has so simple solution

REP++

And yes, this works on TFS 0.2.14 !

npcHandler:say({"text", "text2"}, cid)
WORKED FOR ME TFS 2.1.4 THANKS THIS THREAD IS LIFE SAVING.

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 selfStory(msg, player, delay)
local interval, npc = delay or 5000, getNpcCid()
local ret = {}

for i, message in pairs(msg) do
if i == 1 then
doCreatureSay(npc, message, TALKTYPE_PRIVATE_NP, false, player, getThingPos(npc))
else
local r = addEvent(npcDelayedTalk, (i-1)*interval, npc, message, player)
table.insert(ret, r)
end
end
return ret
end

add at the top of npc.lua or at the end ?
