NPC help won't focus

[robbydeath]

Hello, I recently started working on my server for fun from so many years ago
I know this is probably a very simple fix but I can't figure it out
He will not focus he only responds to Hi and keeps walking
I was editing from several different npc trying to piece this one together
Thanks a lot in advance

focus = 0
talk_start = 0
target = 0
following = false
attacking = false

function onThingMove(creature, thing, oldpos, oldstackpos)

end


function onCreatureAppear(creature)

end


function onCreatureDisappear(cid, pos)
      if focus == cid then
          selfSay('Good bye then.')
          focus = 0
          talk_start = 0
      end
end


function onCreatureTurn(creature)

end

function msgcontains(txt, str)
      return (string.find(txt, str) and not string.find(txt, '(%w+)' .. str) and not string.find(txt, str .. '(%w+)'))
end


function onCreatureSay(cid, type, msg)
      msg = string.lower(msg)

      if (msgcontains(msg, 'hi') and focus == 0) and getDistanceToCreature(cid) < 4 then
          selfSay('Hello ' .. creatureGetName(cid) .. '! I need 100 worms for my famous worm soup. Can you help me? Find them in the hole east of here inside the

bank.')
          focus = cid
          talk_start = os.clock()

      elseif msgcontains(msg, 'hi') and (focus ~= cid) and getDistanceToCreature(cid) < 4 then
          selfSay('Sorry, ' .. creatureGetName(cid) .. '! I talk to you in a minute.')

      elseif focus == cid then
        talk_start = os.clock()

        if msgcontains(msg, 'worms') then
            doPlayerRemoveItem(cid,3976,100)
            doPlayerAddItem(cid,2525,1)
        elseif msgcontains(msg, 'worm') then
            doPlayerRemoveItem(cid,3976,100)
            doPlayerAddItem(cid,2525,1)

        elseif msgcontains(msg, 'bye') and getDistanceToCreature(cid) < 4 then
            selfSay('You saved the day! Thank you, ' .. creatureGetName(cid) .. '!')
            focus = 0
            talk_start = 0
        end
      end
end


function onCreatureChangeOutfit(creature)

end


function onThink()
      if (os.clock() - talk_start) > 500 then
          if focus > 0 then
              selfSay('Next Please...')
          end
         focus = 0
      end
     if focus ~= 0 then
         if getDistanceToCreature(focus) > 5 then
             selfSay('Good bye then.')
             focus = 0
         end
     end
end

replace

(focus ~= cid)

with

(focus == cid)

I really appreciate the help but this didn't fix it
He responds to hi with the correct message and then walks away
is this a problem?
<npc name="Rob the Welcomer" script="data/npc/scripts/welcome.lua" autowalk="25" floorchange="0" access="5" level="1" maglevel="1">
<health now="150" max="150"/>
<look type="128" head="20" body="100" legs="50" feet="99" corpse="2212"/>
<parameters>
What should my parameters be??
</parameters>
</npc>

It can be a lot of things. What server are you using? Did you changed npc libraries at all? Just this npc has this problem or all? Can you paste a npc that works?
