Solved NPC errors in console

[sharpy]

I'm working on a 9.6 TFS v0.2.14 server and I am getting repeating errors from several of my npcs.
I know enough lua to edit most scripts but I am stumped on this, I know something is missing from the last lines but I don't know what was removed...

here is the error i keep receiving:

[08/07/2013 15:19:03] Lua Script Error: [Npc interface] 
[08/07/2013 15:19:03] data/npc/scripts/Sam.lua:onThink
[08/07/2013 15:19:03] data/npc/lib/npcsystem/npchandler.lua:596: table index is nil
[08/07/2013 15:19:03] stack traceback:
[08/07/2013 15:19:03] 	[C]: in function '__newindex'

[08/07/2013 15:19:04] 	data/npc/scripts/Sam.lua:13: in function <data/npc/scripts/Sam.lua:13>

here are the parts of code for npchandler.lua that I have:
from line 580-598 error is line 596

function NpcHandler:say(message, focus, publicize, shallDelay, delay)
		if(type(message) == "table") then
			return self:doNPCTalkALot(message, delay or 10000, focus)
		end

		if self.eventDelayedSay[focus] then
			self:cancelNPCTalk(self.eventDelayedSay[focus])
		end

		local shallDelay = not shallDelay and true or shallDelay
		if(NPCHANDLER_TALKDELAY == TALKDELAY_NONE or shallDelay == false) then
			selfSay(message, focus, publicize and TRUE or FALSE)
			return
		end

		stopEvent(self.eventSay[focus])
>>>>		self.eventSay[focus] = addEvent(function(x) if isPlayer(x[3]) then doCreatureSay(x[1], x[2], TALKTYPE_PRIVATE_NP, false, x[3], getCreaturePosition(x[1])) end end, self.talkDelayTime * 1000, {getNpcCid(), message, focus})
	end
end

Other lines: 460-486 error line 462

	function NpcHandler:onThink()
		local callback = self:getCallback(CALLBACK_ONTHINK)
>>>>		if(callback == nil or callback()) then
			if(NPCHANDLER_TALKDELAY == TALKDELAY_ONTHINK) then
				for cid, talkDelay in pairs(self.talkDelay) do
					if(talkDelay.time ~= nil and talkDelay.message ~= nil and os.time() >= talkDelay.time) then
						selfSay(talkDelay.message, cid, talkDelay.publicize and TRUE or FALSE)
						self.talkDelay[cid] = nil
					end
				end
			end

			if(self:processModuleCallback(CALLBACK_ONTHINK)) then
				for pos, focus in pairs(self.focuses) do
					if(focus ~= nil) then
						if(not self:isInRange(focus)) then
							self:onWalkAway(focus)
						elseif(self.talkStart[focus] ~= nil and (os.time() - self.talkStart[focus]) > self.idleTime) then
							self:unGreet(focus)
						else
							self:updateFocus()
						end
					end
				end
			end
		end
	end

If anyone would help me I would greatly appreciate it!
