How can I talk to an NPC from a distance?

[Exvayate]

As shown in my screen shot how can I/a player be able to speak to an NPC from across the table using ctrl or by clicking on it?

[Edit here for further questions on the topic of scripting.]

If you dont want to script, just simply put a Notice attribute where you want the npc to talk

You cannot script in Origins, all changes must be source edited.

Cool! Your using my full-screen system? Didn't think anyone would use it xD

O your right! Is that stable? I just kinda thought it was origins because of the origins icon in his desktop.
I'll just be leaving now.

No wait come back! I need all the help I can get :P haha

And yes I used your Fullscreen mod, It was really awesome. I tinker around with it every so often. :P

Use the OnClick tile (which operates like a ScriptedTile, except it's under OnClick.ess). Then put it on top of the NPC.

Where's the onclick tile? And how do I apply?

Also How can I make an NPC sell items as a shopkeeper? All that happens is that I hit ctrl on him and he says welcome!

[Ruins of Hell]

The OnClick tile is where the other tiles are (Blocks, Scripted, etc). You apply it the way you would a scripted tile (add a new case, add codes, etc.)

For the Shop Keeper, there is a shop attribute you can use, so when they walk over it the shop will open. Shopkeeper just makes the NPC stay still.

Ahh okay then.
For the shopkeeper lamesauce.. oh well! I can fgure this out.

BUT! I just now had an error go on with my game!!!! DDDDDDDDDDDD:

When I first start the game on any character on any account, as soon as I log in my character is gone!
I think I may have tampered with the server Data.ini :/ Here's a few shots and tell me whats wrong.

Also! I have this thing going on with the server, when another player dies it'll freeze the game and give me a COLUMN ERROR from the server program.

Did you extract Eclipse?
For the death thing, post your OnDeath.ess.

No I've been tinkering around with it. I might as well just start from scratch again because All I have done was change 90% of the GUIs so I'lljust copy and replace those. So I'll just have to recreate maps. :P

And here's my OnDeath.ess:

[Ruins of Hell]

Typical. Replace all Target in OnDeath.ess with Index (CTRL + H).

Can someone help me fix my error shown in this screenshot?
I have logged into various accounts into the game and I still receive the same result with the character not showing up.

Also, when I kill the player and spawn me at the respawn map I can walk around but the only thing that shows is the top of the head of the character and the map will NOT scroll when you want to go to all the corners of the map.

Nevermind, somehow the game fixed itself and all is well in the game. But I WOULD like to know how to fix this for future reference. But otherwise I will no longer need this thread.
