Hey

So a friend of mine is looking for oracle-like npcs for his ot.

He wants to allow players to learn about each vocation and what the vocs have to offer them. He not only doesn't want the npc to have a level requirement for vocs but also doesn't want the player to be teleported elsewhere.

ie:
NPC: Greetings |PLAYERNAME|! Would you like to learn about druids? {yes}
PLAYER: yes
NPC: Druids wear paper thin armor, have the ability to make healing runes, heal friends and cast powerful icy spells! Would you like to become a {druid}?
PLAYER: druid
NPC: Are you positive you would like to become a druid?! {yes}
PLAYER: yes noobnpcdoitalready!
NPC: Very well! Congratulations! You are now a druid!
PLAYER: Bye.
NPC: Goodbye dear.

if player already has a voc
PLAYER: Hello
NPC: You already have a vocation!

++REP For anyone who helps!! He's using the mystic spirit version 2.10


Thanks in advance!
