One more thing...

I'm scripting one sprite on the screen. He has void main(void) function, and he is talking with other characters on some random topics. But when I talk to him, the entire script attached to him stops working. The conversation doesn't even start. Is this a limitation to the engine, or is there a workaround?

Here's roughly how it looks like:

void main(void)
{
  int &rand;
  loop:
  &rand = random(2,1);
  if(&rand == 1)
  {
    //conversation with other npcs, using say_stop_npc();
  }
  //etc
  goto loop;
}

void talk(void)
{
  //say_stop() and the rest
}

I'm aware that void main(void) stuff won't continue after talking, until I reenter the screen, but I just need void talk(void) to start...

Edit:
I'm also unsure how to use sp_gold() to check what to do next as someone mentioned before. There are many lines here. Should do the checking after each one? That only seems logical, but it would be
