[NPC TROUBLE] New NPC isn't working

[kessykins]

Hey,

As the title says, I'm having NPC troubles with a new npc.

I'm trying to make it so she'll accept a specific item for special fish bait but she isn't responding to the usual 'hi'

What am I doing wrong >.<

!!! SHE WORKS!! but.. now she isn't responding to 'Deep-Sea Fishing' >.<

 

[Cykotitan]

It's probably because of the hyphen. It is a magic character that's used in patterns in Lua.

	elseif msgcontains(msg, 'Deep[B][COLOR="red"][SIZE="5"]-[/SIZE][/COLOR][/B]Sea Fishing') then

Remove it, and it will hopefully work.

Cykotitan.. you're awesome! IT WORKS!! I'm so happy =DD

+++REP!

 

[Cykotitan]

If you want a certain keyword to be highlighted (dark blue) in the message, put { } around it, instead of ( )

 

[kessykins]

!! Thanks! I've added this.. it worked like a charm.
