complex npc (people with skill required)

[Far]

im trying to create a new function, but im highly stuck on how i could get this npc working. im only working from previous untranslated scripts so its quite hard. this is what i have so far

[@main]
#IF
#SAY
Please input your password
#ACT
mov D4 %INPUTSTR
goto @next

[@next]
#IF
#ACT
FormatStr "FLD_PASS='%s'" "PASSRANDOM"
UpdateValueSql "TBL_Password" %D4 "FLD_PASSID='001',FLD_PASSCONDITION='End'"

What i want to do is get person A to enter a password. the npc then needs to store that password in a table. Person B then opens the npc, is asked to enter the password. Another input string is needed to be used, and has to match with the current value in the table.

Im quite sure this is possible. but im stuck on how to do it.

Any help would be greatly apprieciated.

how many diffrent passwords will it need to store? just 1 or 1 for each char

in unrealistic terms (if every online user clicks this npc around the same time) then 1 for every character.

but when the player enters a password, i want the row to be cleared within 3 minutes.

can b done if you use txt files (VE use's it for lots)

but when the player enters a password, i want the row to be cleared within 3 minutes.

been looking and mayb posable if u use txt files to save the passwords

i think i can manage to input and save a password into a txt file. im guessing it works almost the same as a namelist. the problem i have now is recalling that and making it match the string the second player inputs.

which is the reason id rather input it into a table, it would mean i could sort the passwords and give second values much more easy.

from what i can make out the second value wont need to be added to the table.

The best way i can think of doing it wud be like the way i did tele to player on VE

• Player A clicks "Create new password"
• Inputs password which is saved in a file with that players username.

• Player B comes along and talks to the NPC and clicks "my friend has entered a pasword"
• Player B then enters Player A's username.
• Player B then has to enter the password that was saved along with Player A's Username.
