Good, short, simple and effective, here is a screenshot of mine :). Note: i chose not to have the face =)

also for those who were wondering, i commented out the optional line, it only affects npc for whom this box will popup. IE, if you remove it, the hostile npcs will still talk in your chatbox.

Would it be possible to make this define the face by using the range the npc is set at, instead of its number?

Edit: Nevermind I figured it out. You simply change this bit:

```
If Not FileExist(App.Path & "\data files\graphics\faces\" & (NPC(npcNum).Sprite) & ".bmp", True) Then
        frmMain.picSpeechFace.Picture = LoadPicture(App.Path & "\data files\graphics\faces\" & "default.bmp")
    Else
        frmMain.picSpeechFace.Picture = LoadPicture(App.Path & "\data files\graphics\faces\" & (NPC(npcNum).Sprite) & ".bmp")
    End If
```
To this instead:

```
If Not FileExist(App.Path & "\data files\graphics\faces\" & (NPC(npcNum).Range) & ".bmp", True) Then
        frmMain.picSpeechFace.Picture = LoadPicture(App.Path & "\data files\graphics\faces\" & "default.bmp")
    Else
        frmMain.picSpeechFace.Picture = LoadPicture(App.Path & "\data files\graphics\faces\" & (NPC(npcNum).Range) & ".bmp")
    End If
```
Anyway, I personally find this more convenient than using the sprite number.

Alright, well this had been bugging me, but I'm trying to use this alongside Captain Wabbit's Ranged Projectiles system and I get an error: Runtime error 9 Subscript of out range and with it highlighted a line. See my attachment.

EDIT!!!!

Also.. would a ranged attack on an NPC trigger speech?

okay, i have a fresh eo 2.0 game, i redownloaded eo just for this, and i cant find the following text. please help. oh and i can find frmMain.pic, but nothing more.
"frmMain.picHotbar.Picture = LoadPicture(App.Path & "\data files\graphics\gui\main\hotbar.jpg"

[Broojo02]

Make sure to not include the " " speech marks at the start and end of the text when searching. Search for just this:```
frmMain.picHotbar.Picture = LoadPicture(App.Path & "\data files\graphics\gui\main\hotbar.jpg
```

[GeminiXcasorm]

i did, what frm file are you searching under? still frm.main? cuz i cant find it anywhere, and i didnt include the "" marks

[Broojo02]

If you do a search for the entire project it should come up, there should be an option in the search box to do that.

[GeminiXcasorm]

okay, ill try it again

now when i build it it works, and than i go to test it and when i place the npc i get an error saying subscript out of range. what do i do?

Added a download link for the tutorial preinstalled.

I LOVE THIS!

HOWEVER. I have a few concerns.

1) The box will only display text that NPC is given upon attack.

2) The box will only display text when 'attacked'. (because you're not really hurting them, you're only triggering them to talk when you press the attack key.) However I'm running a projectile code on my client and an arrow will kill them and attacking close will still kill them

3) The box will only display what's given. It'd be nice to have options to lead to more conversation than just one box per NPC.

So, I'm thinking we can achieve clickable NPCs through changing code from:
```
Call SpeechWindow(attacker, Trim$(Npc(npcNum).AttackSay), npcNum)
```
to something like 'DoubleClickSay' instead of AttackSay. Where DoubleClickSay will be triggered from double clicking on picScreen when the NPC is targetted.

:O Just coming back from a 9 month break (school and what not) and I'd like to contribute xD

Why don't you just use the conversation system instead of this??

Can you adapt it to work with Alatar's Quest System? (Make the SpeechFace appear in the quest description message)
