Hello scripting helpers i have a problem with a custom dialog system. Where you chat with a npc and stuff.

The problem is that when i'm done with a chat with a npc and then start a chat with it again it does not wait for you to click E it just continues for the first message but then goes back to normal in the next message so for example it would first be: "Hello to you" and then it would not wait for you to press E but just go to the next message and for example say: "This is a problem" and then wait for you to press E in the rest of the dialog.

--These two scripts are placed in the startergui

--Module script

local m = {}

local chatui = script.Parent.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("ChatUi")
local ui = script.Parent.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("ui") --Some other stuff
local background = chatui:WaitForChild("Background")
local chatfr = background:WaitForChild("Chat")
local chatnamefr = background:WaitForChild("ChatName")
local chatimagefr = background:WaitForChild("ChatImage")
local pressefr = background:WaitForChild("PressE")
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()

local chatting = false

function m.preparechat(chatname,chatimage) --Just setting some things up
	chatui.Enabled = true
	ui.Enabled = false
	chatfr.Text = ""
	chatnamefr.Text = chatname
	chatimagefr.Image = "rbxassetid://"..chatimage
end

	chatfr.Text = text
end
