Scripted NPC

[ell]

I have scripted my own npc, i'm just learning the basics at the moment and I have encountered an error.

here is my scriptedNpc

```
' Executes whenever a scripted NPC does an action.
Sub ScriptedNPC(Index, Script)
Select Case Script
Case 0
Call PlayerMsg(Index, "This scripted NPC has no apparent use.", WHITE)
Exit Sub
Case 1
Call AdminMsg(Index, "Ghost: Those who stand by yonder tree,", YELLOW)
Call AdminMsg(Index, "Ghost: Safe from evil they will be,", YELLOW)
Call AdminMsg(Index "Ghost: I now must run, I have to go,", YELLOW)
Call AdminMsg(Index "Ghost: Take this cloak that I bestow", YELLOW)
'Call GiveItem(1, 1, 1)
Exit Sub
Case 2
Call AdminMsg("Welcome to my shope, please, have a look at my goods!", YELLOW)
Call GoShopping(Index, 1)
Exit Sub
Case Else
Call PlayerMsg(Index, "No NPC script found. Please contact an admin to solve this problem.", WHITE)
Exit Sub
End Select
End Sub
```

Make sure your scripts are on, on the server go to control panel and turn scripts on. That should do it.

no luck :(

Make sure the npc has stats, that could be preventing it from working.

AdminMsg?  Make sure you have enough access to see such a message as well, and make sure the NPC is using the correct script

Thanks, but nothing is working and about the adminmsg I am using that temporarily because I dont know how to use plkayermsg, if you could give me a pointer about that aswell, i would deeply apreciate it! thanks agen ell.

Call PlayerMsg(Indexnumber to talk to[Or Index if its the player doing the talking], Message [Dont forget to put it in ""'s if its not reading it elsewhere], Color [1~15 or RED BLUE YELLOW GREEN Etc])

Example

```
Call PlayerMsg(Index, "Bob: Hi Im a scripted NPC, and Riney is a sexy beast", YELLOW)
```
