Would it be possible to script the following things?

An NPC that gives you rupees only one when you talk to him/her.

An NPC that takes rupees from you only once when you talk to him/her.

An NPC that gives/takes/trades an item when you talk to him/her. (even though this one can easily be done with string control codes and custom items)

Anyway, D0 would be the string to display before giving/taking the rupees/item.
D1 would be the string to display after giving/taking the rupees/item.
D2 would be the amount of rupees/ID of item to give/take.
D3 (for trading only) would be what item to give in return.

this is all possible with using string control codes, but i know it is also possible with scripting

Uh... If you use a string control code that gives or takes rupees, the NPC would take your rupees multiple times and I can't think of any way to get it to where the string only takes the rupees once.

Easiest way would be to simply modify one of the existing NPC scripts you are using. Should be very easy. Can you post or link that one?

[XMSB]

All right, here's the NPC Script from the database. It's the only one I have in my quest file.

Just letting you know, it is possible. I've done it already

String 1: (switch to string 2 if have item 280) BlahBlahBlah! (Take/Give rupees) (Give item 280)
String 2: BlahBlahBlah!

Things in () are control codes
Item 280 (or what yu want) is just a non-use-item.

The player wouldn't notice, if he switches from string 1 to string 2.

You can just use a string control code to take whatever amount of rupees. I create a "decoy item" and place its code along with the code where you gain rupees. And I use the code "Whenever you have the decoy item, switch to this string" so that the NPC does not give you rupees.
