Aurora ticket npc not triggering event or item

[BigPapaCurly]

Hello
I am trying to make an npc both give the aurora ticket key item and also enable the event. the code ive written is as follows.

'---------------
#org 0xE40F40
lock
faceplayer
checkflag 0x1201
if 0x1 goto 0x8E40B15
msgbox 0x8E40B20 0x6 '"Sigh you leave us no choice kid.\n..."
giveitem 0x172 0x1 0x0
setflag 0x8E0
setflag 0x1201
release
end

'---------------
#org 0xE40B15
msgbox 0x8E40B76 0x6 '"The fate of Shoal cave depends on\..."
release
end

'---------
#org 0xE40B20
= Sigh you leave us no choice kid.\nUse this item and calm the\llegendary monster down.

#org 0xE40B76
= The fate of Shoal cave depends on\nyou kid.




It only makes the npc tell you the last line. I am very new to rom hacking and i am making an event and a story about the shoal cave and Lugia/Ho-oH. I would appericiate a rewritten script as well as pointers.

Just to check: does your game support a flag range as high as the flag you've got down?

I think so? the flag 1201 is the one people seem to use to check if an event is done. At least that is what i seem to gather, so the npc cant be triggered twice. The other flag is supposed to be the flag for the event in emerald.

the flag 0x1201 is already set, you need to use an unused flag which you can look for Here.
