Check in your source to see if you have the modifyNX method. For npc related help replies, please use Sharkys thread, which is stickied in the Help section.

[XenoPHP]

Hello, thanks for sharing this great tutorial! I apologize for not having a very good English, is not my first language. Anyway, I would like to leave a question:

- I am from a country that uses accents on words (Brazil), I need to use these accents in my script's because I intend to put them on my tongue. How should I proceed? Is there a way, if so, what?

Thank you!

Errm, 1 Question, On Most Other Repacks, This:

function start() {
cm.sendOk("I am an NPC without a status.");
cm.dispose();
}

Wouldn't Work, Atleast On All The Repacks I've Testing Except MoopleDez, You Need:

function start() {
cm.sendOk("I am an NPC without a status.");
}
function action(mode, type, selection) {
cm.dispose();
}

^^Idk why, in NPCConversationalManager, It Isn't Optional In Most Of The Repacks/SOurces I've Trued

Not a lot more work to do just to type another function.

 

[Fergal1967]

modifyNX(int amount, int type) {

Doesnt work, is there any other commands to give Nx?

 

[Sklyn]

modifyNX(int amount, int type) {

I am not sure, you should hunt out and find anyway to get a function or search into your source. What source are you using? I can try to find out and give your the function, just tell us.

btw, I have a question, is there anyway to use two or more conditions in a selection? For example:

if (selection == 1) {
if (cm.getJob(jobid)) {
cm.gainMeso(10);
} else if (cm.getJob(jobid)) {
cm.gainMeso(100);
}

Should this exattly work? I am trying to make a "information" about my private server, it has some "status" and it would have two selections, one that just end the converstation and other warp who warps the player to his "main map", like, beginner to 1000 and others.

Thanks you.

Yes something like that would work, you'd just have to be careful on how it is scripted. And it'd be better if you added an } else { statement for anyone that doesn't fulfill either of the checks

or you can merely do,

var doesGuyHaveJob = cm.getJob(jobid) ? 10 : cm.getJob(jobid) ? 100 : 0; // not sure if exactly works, but it should.
if (selection == 1) {
cm.gainMeso(doesGuyHaveJob);
} // if selection == 1

For example:

var doesGuyHaveJob = cm.getJob(100) ? 10 : cm.getJob(0) ? 100 : 0; // 0 = 100 mesos, 100 = 10 mesos.

function start() {
	cm.sendYesNo("Would you like to gain mesos? It will depend on your job.");
}

function action(m,t,s) {
	if (m > 0) {
		cm.gainMeso(doesGuyHaveJob);
		cm.sendOk("You have gained your mesos.");
	}
	cm.dispose();
}

really really, great guide! it helped me understand all this, thanks ^^.

 

[NmZero]

nice guide , altho when i made a npc it bugged, but posted that in the help section

 

[databomb]

Thanks for the detailed guide, although i have a quick question. Can i have 2 Selection Screens? So if one selection out of two was selected in the first window, it would then lead to the next screen with another two selections? If that makes sense.

Thanks.
