I'm with Jagen. Don't use if (created) because it is created before strings are set using the with() statement. It would only work because it's run really quickly but in theory it shouldn't. The callnpcs then it needed. When I do this I do not use the if (created) I use like if (started) and callnpc -1,started type thing so it will call a new statement after it sets the variables.
Also please note that is the pattern "Stefan uses" I believe. I do not think he would be unable to code his own engine properly
