The layout I'm using at the moment is to give each NPC one interact script and then depending on what rank the player has use the - zap command attached to the proximity enter trigger in step 1 to send them to a specific step for that rank. When the player walks away from the NPC, the proximity exit trigger in the step returns the position to step 1 in case next time a player meets they're in a different rank.
In the specific step I attach a 'quest' flag to the player to keep a note of where they are in the story line.
When you've got a dozen ranks and a dozen story lines for each there's so many flags and if/else statements. It's copy/paste of the same code for - if <player.in_group> for the proximity triggers, chat triggers, damage triggers, etc. Any suggestions for a better, more concise layout?
