Code:
mob
    Helper
        icon = 'npc.dmi'
        icon_state = "helper"
        density = 1
        verb
            Talk()
                alert("Hello.")


Problem description: I want it so you right click the helper and you can talk to him. Then an alert comes up saying hello. It doesn't work how I have it here. Please help.

        verb
            Talk()
                usr<<alert("Hello.")//Use "usr", in this case usr is you, and src is the helper.

Thank you but it still doesn't work. There's no talk button when I come up to him. Any idea why?

Uhh, no. There is not any need for the <code>usr<<...</code>. Just <code>alert("Hello")</code> works fine: it automatically displays the pop-up to the user.

I'm not entirely sure of what you mean, but I think what you want is the verb to appear in the verbpanel.

mob
    Helper
        icon = 'npc.dmi'
        icon_state = "helper"
        density = 1
        verb
            Talk()
                set src in view(1) // if you are one tile near mob/Helper, the verb will appear in your verb panel. Change it to any amount of tiles you want.
                alert("Hello.")
