How do you make an npc have more than 1 message???

IKR it's like my 3rd message.

Ok I was wondering how you make an npc say more than one thing. Also I'm sorry I didn't put this in the subject but I was wondering how you make items appear after an npc says something.

Ok so first, you have a friendly NPC and then you put the message in for the first message. then you have to click the Events Button (in the NPCs section, THE NPC ALSO HAS TO BE SELECTED). Open the Events TAB and make 1 or more events
in all of them put the message you want. Put the first event you want to be said to trigger by talk of the npc (In the NPC Event Bit).

2 Messages: Trigger the message event and BOOM, you have 2 messages displayed from your npc

3 or More Message: Trigger the first message event, and that event triggers the next, etc.

And for items, you need need to make a layer and hide it (call it Item or something similiar), then make an event and click show layer "Item" and it will show if you have a thing on the layer when the event triggers.
You can trigger that with the talk event again

Hope this helps you

If you want to have a NPC that makes more message boxes than just only one:
Spoiler: show
First, go to event window and do the followings:

Then, go to your NPC Tab, choose whatever NPC you want to use and do the followings:

If you want to make a NPC appear after he talks, it is basically the same think what you do with making another message appear but make a Layer and a Event that makes the Layer appear. Don't forget to make the Layer disappear at the start.

If you want to have even more messages, create more events for them. You can trigger one message after the previous one by using the "Trigger Event" box in the lower-right.
