I have looked around quite a lot and can't seem to find an answer to this, but I am trying to make an NPC have three different lines of dialogue, however only one is used at a time and in a specific order. So:

Player interacts with NPC, NPC says dialogue #1, end event. Player interacts with NPC, NPC says dialogue #2, end event. Player interacts with NPC, NPC says dialogue #3, end event.

I know I can make it so the dialogue just comes all at once, but I want it broken up so player can approach NPC more than once.

I was thinking it would need some kind of variable? I'm having trouble figuring it out or finding it anywhere else on the web.

You can certainly approach this by using a game-variable. You probably could do it all in one event-page, by using a Conditional Branch. Such as...


CONDITIONAL BRANCH: Variable [0001] == 0
  //Initial Dialog.
  CONTROL VARIABLES: Variable [0001] += 1
  EXIT EVENT PROCESSING
BRANCH END
CONDITIONAL BRANCH: Variable [0001] == 1
  //Dialog that happens after speaking to NPC the first time.
  CONTROL VARIABLES: Variable [0001] += 1
  EXIT EVENT PROCESSING
BRANCH END
CONDITIONAL BRANCH: Variable [0001] == 2
  //Dialog that happens after speaking to NPC the second time.
  //If the dialog loops, do a <CONTROL VARIABLES: Variable [0001] = 0> operation here.
  //Probably another <EXIT EVENT PROCESSING> too, just to be on the safe side.
BRANCH END

...this example. It might look somewhat different to this if you have an engine with self-switch functionality, and using said functionality for this purpose. However, this method should work with just about any RPG Maker.
