My game features 3 playable characters, who you can control anytime you want and will say different things when interacting with people/objects.

What i'm having trouble with, is having different dialogs for each object, depending on who's in the room with you.

For example:
if BARRY is in the room on his own and looks at a car, he'll say "Nice Car".
But if JOHN is in the room with him, he'll say something else like "Can I drive your car?" and JOHN replies with "No."

Whenever i try to do that, it'll always say the "Nice Car" bit first, regardless if he's on his own or not.
This is the code i have.

function hCar_Look()
{
if (player == cBarry) {
  cBarry.Say("Nice car.");
}
  if (player.Room == cLee.Room)
  if (player == cBarry) {
  cBarry.Say("I like his car?.");
  if (player.Room == cLee.Room) cLee.Say("We should take it for a drive.");
  if (player.Room == cBarry.Room) cBarry.Say("I'll get John's permission first.");
}
if (player.Room == cJohn.Room)
if (player == cBarry) {
  cBarry.Say("Can I drive your car John?.");
  if (player.Room == cJohn.Room) cJohn.Say("No, no you can't.")


I'm not sure if that makes any sense or not, if it doesn't i'll try to explain a bit more clearly when i'm less tired.   

Sorry i can't think of how to describe my problem in short for the topic title, I've got 5 characters:
* Character 1: Baz
* Character 2: Brian
* Character 3: Bob
* Character 4: Barry
* Character 5: Billy
and I want to make it so if a character is in a room with any one of the other characters and looks at something like an item or a hotspot, that other character will interact as well. Like this for example:

1) Bob looks at a window and says "It's a window"
2) If Baz is in the room with him, Baz will say "yes you're right"
3) If Brian is in the room with him he'll say "correct, that is a window" etc...
also
if any of the other characters interacts with an object, Bob will join in too.

I know how to make all 5 interact with each other by using this inside a "runscript" for example:

if (player == cBaz) { cBaz.Say("I don't know how to work it."); }
if (player == cBrian) { cBrian.Say("I've tried, it still doesn't work.");
cBob.Say("Well make it work"); }
if (player == cBob) { cBob.Say("If I did that, i'd kill everyone."); }
if (player == cBarry) { cBarry.Say("I am unable to comply."); }
if (player == cBilly) { cBilly.Say("You do it Bob.");
cBob.Say("No");
cBilly.Say("Brian?.");
cBrian.Say("No too.");
cBilly.Say("Barry?.");
cBarry.Say("I can't do that Dave.");
cBilly.Say("Baz?.");
cBaz.Say("Yeh I don't think so.");
cBilly.Say("Don't blame me if you beam into a brick wall covered with poo.");
cBob.Say("We bloody well will bottom gag, now do your stuff.");   }

But that will make them talk even if they arent in the room

If somebody can help me solve this, i've got one more problem which i cant seem to find answer to on forums or manual properly. After that i'm pretty much set.

My game has 5 controllable characters with weird random plots and scenes, but i was wondering if its possible to do a transporter type room where 1 character has to activate a button to transport any characters that are stood on a certain hotspot? I'll break it up to bullet points again to let you know what i want doing if possible
I'll make names up for characters:
Character 1: Bob
Character 2: Barry
Character 3: Ben
Character 4: Barney
Character 5: Brian

* Bob or any of ther other characters stands at a button ready to press to transport the other(s)
* Whoever is stood on the hotspot which will act as the bit they stand on, gets transported to a certain location.

Thats what i want to know how to do if possible, a bonus would be if i could have a GUI pop up when i press the button to show an icon of different places to choose, to send the characters to.
