NPC long story function - NpcHandler:story

[Serginov]

As I've seen doNpcTalkALot function is not the best of all. Every player can see what one guy is supposed to see(At least I think it was something like that)

Tested and working on TFS 0.3.6pl1

So I made a new one. Just paste this before the last end in:
npc/lib/npcsystem/npchandler.lua

    function storyTalk(messages, focus, i, self)
        if self:isFocused(focus) then
            selfSay(messages[i], focus)
        end
    end
    
    function NpcHandler:story(messages, focus, storyDelay)
        if self:isFocused(focus) then
            selfSay(messages[1], focus)
            local delay = storyDelay
            for i = 2, #messages do
                addEvent(storyTalk, storyDelay, messages, focus, i, self)
                storyDelay = storyDelay + delay
            end
        end
    end

Usage;

    if msgcontains(msg, "cool story brah!") then
        local msg = {"I am ...", "teh coolest dude ... ", "that ever ...", "existed."}
        npcHandler:story(msg, cid, 1000)
    end

I've better function.

function doNPCTalkALot(cid, npc, delay, messages)
	for i = 1,#messages do
		addEvent(doCreatureSay, delay * i, npc, messages[i], TALKTYPE_PRIVATE_NP, false, cid)
	end
end

And for example:

doNPCTalkALot(cid, getNpcCid(), 5000, {"I need 100 {Wyrm Scale} and 50 {Shockwave Amulet}.", "If you have found it say {mission}"})

Not good, since saying something else won't cancel the talk but will cause more messages instead.
See http://otland.net/f132/djinn-npc-umar-small-issues-115811/#post1184024 for an example, it shouldn't be too hard to adapt it for use with multifocus NPC channels (event[cid]).

 

[Serginov]

Ooh, will fix that later Mauzim

Edit; Fixed the bug Mauzim was talking about.
Also now when you say bye the NPC won't keep telling you the story

 

[Mauzim]

[Serginov]
