[NPC] Very little question

[Glecko]

EDIT: First Question solved

Second question: How do I make npcs say messages in default when they aren't talking to anyone (speak alone, like Melchior in Ankrahmun)

I know that it works with "voices", but I can't figure out how it works. interval,interval2,margin, what do they change in the voice?

Thanks a lot in advance

First:

selfSay({'What? Who are you to imply I need help from a worm like you? ...', 'I don\'t need help. But if you desperately wish to do something to earn the favour of Zathroth, feel free. Don\'t expect any reward though. ...', 'Do you want to help and serve Zathroth out of your own free will, without demanding payment or recognition?'}, cid)
			Topic[cid] = 1

This is the answer of your second question (researching the first one).

<voices>
<voice text="Come have a drink in the Hard Rock Racing Track." interval2="120" margin="1" yell="no"/>
</voices>

First one doesn't work, it npc tells you an empty message, like this

Player: job
NPC:
Player: mission
NPC:

This is the answer of your second question (researching the first one).

<voices>
<voice text="Come have a drink in the Hard Rock Racing Track." interval2="120" margin="1" yell="no"/>
</voices>

I cannot figure out how this works, the npc keeps spamming the wrong message. What does margin have as a effect?
