I've read a number of articles explaining how to supposedly create an NPC which will say randomly selected lines of dialogue using Control Variable. I tried using this tutorial I found on Youtube: 










But after doing exactly as he said my NPC will only say the first piece of text. It will also sometimes not respond to me selecting the action key, or will quickly look at my character and not say anything or do nothing at all. When messing around with the event further the NCP would disappear all together. My final attempt at this is in the picture below. I tried to find an MV tutorial but all I could find is VX and VX ACE tutorials, so it may have something to do with that. Can someone help out this lowly pleb? (I'm also pretty sure this post is in the correct forum, I'm praying it is)
