How to make a talking npc without gadgets?

I’m having trouble making an NPC without gadgets. I found how to make normal npc’s, but Idk how to make them look like actual players.

Unfortunately, you can no longer remove sentry’s gadgets. If you want to give them a gim, just scroll through the sentry settings until you find the gim you like. Does this help?
You can choose almost any gim for a sentry now.

you can use text to put a pretend player name under the sentry, you cant remove the gadget, but you can put the sentry on the players team!

Unfortunately you can’t remove a sentry’s gadget currently, but you could put the sentry in a no-fire zone or put it on the same team as the player.

If you want to make the sentry a NPC that does not try to hurt the player, change them from “Team Sentry” to “Team 1”. If you want the player to be able to hurt the NPC but not likewise, then check out this guide:

You can also put a barrier over the sentry to prevent it from firing.

welcome to the forums @THEGIMGUY84 I don’t know but place a carrier in them to not fire

Whoops, looks like this needs to be moved to Help. I’m going to ping @stringdosalot, sorry!

Why don’t you try to place a prop that goes with the scenery above the gadget (set its layer to ‘above’)? That’ll hide it pretty well.

An example for a baker npc would be a loaf of bread.

But doesn’t the gadget follow the player?

I haven’t tried this before, but will invisible barriers stop the sentry from ‘seeing’ a player?

If that doesn’t work, then you can replace the floor terrain around the sentry with wall.

Done!

Are you talking about top-down, or platformer

I believe if you remove all inventory slots, then all sentries have no gadgets.

Unless they patched it.

Oh- yeah… maybe. I’m not sure.

Really! Wait, are you sure? I’m trying this

Doesn’t that just remove all sentry’s while you’re playing?
Edit: just tested it, it might just be me but it removes all sentry’s
(While playing)

It’s patched, and has been for a while.

Yep, just tried it. The sentry just dissapears.

Top-down.

Yeah your right, but the one downsize is you can’t walk through it
