How do you make a talking npc

[the_echoagent]

1- two options, option 1: create a zone that triggers the popup when someone walks into it, option 2: create a button, title it something like: “Talk to (name here)”
2- create a popup, and the header text can say it’s name, the beginning of a sentence, or something else!
3- wire/channel them together!
see my guide:

@the_echoagent

First-
you can add a sentry, and make sure that it is NOT on team sentry.
Second-
add a pop-up device and type what you want it to say.
Third-
add a button, and name a channel that is for (example channel name- conversation)
do not make your channel name too confusing or long!
and do not waste time naming channels!
this is a common mistake because then you waste time typing and thinking of names.
Fourth-
make sure the two channels are connected, (or just use wires)
and you get to decide what the player has to say!
open the Call to Action, and you type what you want it to say,
Fifth-
name channels again! look below the call to action labels for the bar.
Sixth-
you can copy some to make a CONVERSATION but normally I
just do two or three.

IDEAS
get into an argument,
make the game end somehow,
compliments,
DRAMA!
feuds,
competitions,
that’s all my ideas for spicing up conversations!

A FEW SIDE NOTES, & MORE IDEAS
-remember that sentries cannot be on everybody’s team.
you might want to put down more than one.
-you might want to find a way to turn the conversation button off.

please post more ideas!
