Bubble chat height different for NPC and player

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

In my game, the bubble chats are different heights for the player and NPC.

Regularly, the bubble chat height for the NPC is normal, but for players is way too high, so I used this local script to lower it.

game:GetService("Chat"):SetBubbleChatSettings({
	VerticalStudsOffset = -5 --lower bubble chat by 5 studs
})

However, now the bubble chat is at the perfect height for players, but is on the floor for the NPC:

Anyone know how I can achieve to have the bubble chat for the NPC and players at the same height? Thanks!

Are you using the Chat:Chat method to make NPCs chat?

If you are then instead of calling it on the NPC’s character model directly try calling it on its ‘Head’ limb.

local Game = game
local Chat = Game:GetService("Chat")
Chat:Chat(NPC.Head, "Hello world!")

The NPC uses a regular script

while true do
	wait(1)
	game:GetService("Chat"):Chat(script.Parent.Head, "text here", Enum.ChatColor.White)
	wait(10)
	game:GetService("Chat"):Chat(script.Parent.Head, "text here", Enum.ChatColor.White)
	wait(15)
	game:GetService("Chat"):Chat(script.Parent.Head, "text here", Enum.ChatColor.White)
	wait(8)
end

Although slightly ‘hacky’ you could instead use an invisible part raised above the NPC to cast the bubble chat.
