Make NPC's talk

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Beginner scripter here.
I’m trying to make a sort of animation-like skit game.
I want to make the NPC’s as realistic as possible, and I’m having trouble making bubble chat for them.
I know little to nothing about bubble chatting and I don’t know how to make an NPC say a message, nor do I know how to make the message look real (no colored bar on the side of the bubble).
Can anyone help me with this?

can you explain what you mean more, maybe provide images?

You can look for tutorials on youtube on how to make an NPC say a message or search how to do that on google or even look up the devforum or the ROBLOX API Reference for help.

However if your a beginner scripter I recommend you to just stick with small things that doesn’t have any complexity in them so you can learn faster and by that I mean for example you can try and make a tool that turns whatever it touches into the Gold color.

You can refer to this API to learn how to make any part talk using ChatService:

Here is a quick example of how to make a part say something:

local ChatService = game:GetService("Chat")
local talkpart = game.Workspace.TalkPart

do
ChatService:Chat(talkpart, "Hello,", "Red")
wait(1)
ChatService:Chat(talkpart, "World!", "Blue")
wait(1)
ChatService:Chat(talkpart, "Hello World!", "White")
wait(1)
end

Parameter description:
ChatService:Chat(WhichPartThatTalks, “Message Here”, “Color Here”)
