Hello, first time poster here. If this already has been answered somewhere else, then obviously that explanation alone was not good enough for my feeble mind (I have accumulated a great amount of hours googling this issue).

I am trying to create an event where a player touches a tile, which pops open a text box and 'spawns' an NPC. In turn this NPC will walk over to the player and initiate another text box.

My predicament is this: How on Earth do I do this!? I have spent countless hours trying to figure out the game flow logic as I am no beginner to programming. My results are generally just infinite loops of the same walking sequence or the NPC spawns but does nothing at all.

I have included an overview of what my script does so far below, however I am looking for design input and general knowledge on how to accomplish this the cleanest, safest way possible. Any help is greatly appreciated!
