Any errors? Your modulescript looks alright but… It does not appear that you have anything in the clickdetector in the localscript

What would I put for
I don’t know what arguments to put.
talkmodule.talkfunction(Dialogue)

I’m also kind of confused on the second line - would I need it? And if I did, what would I put?
no you would not need the second line.

I get an error:

Is Animator the talkmodule in this case?

Not sure what you mean, but here is my StarterGUI hierarchy:
use talkmodule:InitTalk(dialogue)

Also, how would I get the player’s humanoid? I want to freeze the player when they start talking.
Thank you!
Uhh… I’m having an error for mine. Since I’m not using the E to talk thing, you can click on the person multiple times, how would I make it so you can only talk when it is finished?
@PostVivic
I tried using a talk variable, and if script.Parent.Enabled == false then but the text didn’t show up. I tried using them in various places, but they either broke, or didn’t do anything. Could you help me out, I have no idea what to do in this situation.
Dummy.Click.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
Dummy.Click.ClickDetector.Enabled = false--Disable click detector
talkmodule:InitTalk(dialogue)--Initiated Dialogue
Dummy.Click.ClickDetector.Enabled = true--Enable click detector
end)
Sorry I didn’t see your replies until now
If the module was called by a localscript (in this case it is) you can use
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
and reference the Humanoid in the modulescript

It unfortunately doesn’t work for me, as ClickDetectors don’t have an “Enabled” property, would there be another way?
Yeah, I just looked at ClickDetectors
Dummy.Click.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
Dummy.Click.ClickDetector.MaxActivationDistance = 0--Disable click detector
talkmodule:InitTalk(dialogue)--Initiated Dialogue
Dummy.Click.ClickDetector.MaxActivationDistance = 35
end)
Setting the MaxActivationDistance would work
Hmm… it still allows the player to click multiple times.
Hmmm, Might I suggest using a Proximity Prompt instead? You can make it so you can actually click it, bad thing though, is that you NEED a keycode for it to work…
Do you know of any possible workarounds though? I really want mine to be click to activate.
Some code that could help:
