NPC Text bubbles

[Doomsalad]

IS there any script that can make an NPC have a text bubble appear above their heads? Cause talking to the NPC and having to read the miniscule line on the chat log is annoying

yea, there is but it would take some definate source coding…. You can also try MrMigues quest script for something like a NPC source bubble.

I'm not sure of this but I think you can have a message box come up. just type msgbox"-Message you want-", "-title-", -type of message box- ex. vbokonly, vbokcancel… experiment a bit.

edit: oh crap I messed up. oh and I tried it and it workd. and the formula is this:
msgbox(promt, type, title)
promt = what u want to say
type = type of messagebox ex: vbokonly, vbokcancel
title = the title of the messagebox

an example would look like this:

msgbox"I need you to kill 30 rabbits, because it is wabbit hunting season! I will reward you well", vbokcancel, "Wabbit Hunter"

note: there are no ( ) 's

that is how you would do it if u dont want a return value. however, if you DO want a return value. you would do this

returnvalue = msgbox(copy from above, too lazy to rewrite)

note: there ARE ( ) 's

hope I could help.

Problem with this is it doesnt work on scrolling maps, or at least 50x50 scrolling maps

that's because it shows on screen coordinates, not map coordinates xD
