Ok this is kinda hard so ill stay as clear as I can, I need a cog that when you up to a thing (man) and activate it (him) it prints

"Kyle: Hi, I need to get to the lower levels of coruscant Ill pay you to take me there"

Then a small rest then it prints.

"Man: I dont need money but ill take you if you do me a favour"

Rest

"Kyle: What?"

Rest

"Man: A thug has taken over my house, if you kill him ill take you."

Now at this point it checks to see if a designated thing is still alive, if it isnst then it prints

"Kyle: You mean the one in room 4, Ive already wacked him."

Rest

"Man: Really?"

Rest

"Kyle: yea."

Rest

"Man: Ok ill take you."

Then it plays a keyframe on a particular thing which is not the man then it moves that thing through nine frames then when it stops it plays a different keyframe on the same thing.

But if the designated thing was still alive then it prints

"Kyle: Ok which room."

Rest

"Man: Room 4."

Then it gives you a goal in the goal window that says "Kill the thug who has taken over the mans house."

At the same time it prints "Goal Recieved- Check objectives for details.

Then when you kill the thing the goal is accomplished.

You go back and activate the man a it prints

"Kyle: I wacked him."

Rest

"Man: Really, hes dead?"

Rest

"Kyle: Yea I killed him."

Rest

"Man: Ok lets go"

Then it plays a keyframe on a particular thing which is not the man then it moves that thing through nine frames then when it stops it plays a different keyframe on the same thing.

Thanks for your time.

Theres just a few problems when I activate the man nothing happens. Also can you make it if you talk to the man but you havent killed the thug and he send you off to kill him once you kill him come back and activate the man it doesnt repeat the whole conversation again it just says.

Kyle: I killed him.
Man: Really?
Kyle: Yea hes dead.
Man: Ok lets go.

Thanks(<--Dont print that)

You should learn how to do the basics of COG yourself.
