Help with "Ghost" NPC

[Bert]

I'm in need of help coding a "Ghost" NPC which disappears on "Next" and reappears several minutes after the player presses "Close"

	mes "Huh?";
	next;
disablenpc "Ghost";
	mes "I thought I saw someone standing there?";
	mes "My my mistake, maybe.";
enablenpc "Ghost"
close;

Secondly, how do I make a message box pop out when a player enters a specific portal? It's like Player A enters Room A's portal. Upon entering, a message box appears "This place stinks, let's get out", and upon clicking on "Close", the player is warped back to a set point.

Thanks in advance, seniors!

location,X,Y,D	script	warp_name	45,2,2,{
OnTouch:
mes "["+strcharinfo(0)+"]";
mes "This place stinks, lets get out!";
close2;
warp map,x,y;
}

That should do it . As for the first issue, I don't quite understand what you mean.

use these script commands:

hideonnpc; // this will enable hiding skill on npc
hideoffnpc; // this will disable hiding skill on npc
sleep2 10000; // 10000 ms is equal 10 seconds.

You can interact with a hidden NPC, can't you? So its better to disable the NPC.

disablenpc will stop the script and you can't talk to hidden npc. Btw what he is trying to do is hide the NPC in middle of conversation.

The message box appears when I touch it, but I'm not warped. Plus, is it possible if the "npc" is invisible?

Oh sorry my bad, there's suppored to be an End after warp .

[Bert]

Inserted end; , still unable to work D:

warp "<mapname>",x,y;

It is possible by using hideonnpc; with OnInit:
