If you want an NPC to send a message to the chat box for all players to see, you can use a RemoteEvent to communicate between the server and the client. The server will trigger the event when the NPC needs to say something, and the client will handle displaying the message in the chat.

When you want the NPC to speak, fire this event from the server, sending the message as an argument. On the client side, listen for the event using .OnClientEvent and display the message in the chat using TextChatService.TextChannels.RBXGeneral:DisplaySystemMessage("YOUR_MESSAGE_HERE").

Here’s a basic example of how this can be set up:

Server Script (inside ServerScriptService) 

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local SendNPCMessage = ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("SendNPCMessage")

if SendNPCMessage then
    SendNPCMessage:FireAllClients("Hello, traveler! Welcome to the game.")
end

Server Script (inside ServerScriptService) 

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:FindFirstChild("REMOTE_EVENT")
local TextChatService = game:GetService("TextChatService")

if RemoteEvent then
    RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(message)
        local chatChannel = TextChatService.TextChannels.RBXGeneral
        if chatChannel then
            chatChannel:DisplaySystemMessage("[NPC] " .. message)
        end
    end)
end

Hope this helps :slightly_smiling_face:
