Need help making an NPC talk

[SSSSSEESEEEESESEEE]

1. What do you want to achieve? What is the issue?

My script spawns an NPC from a folder with various characters into a Workspace folder. Then, it should make the NPC state “hello”, but the NPC doesn’t actually state anything.

This is the script that I made for this:

local replicated = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage") 
local ChatService = game:GetService("Chat")

local NPCdictionary = game.Workspace.NPC -- where NPCS are cloned to 
local NPCcharacters = replicated:WaitForChild("NPCchars") -- folder where characters are stored

local function spawnNPC()
	local selection = NPCcharacters:GetChildren()
	local randomNPC = selection[math.random(1, #selection)]
	local npc = randomNPC:Clone()
	npc.Parent = NPCdictionary
	npc.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = false
	local root = npc:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart") 
	root.CFrame = NPCdictionary.Parent.NPCSpawn.TeleportPart.CFrame
	return npc, root -- root is just the HumanoidPart for the next code
end

local Dummy, Root = spawnNPC()
ChatService:Chat(Dummy.Head, "hello")

This script is in ServerScriptService, and the NPC does get spawned correctly like how I want it to but I’m having trouble with making the last line actually work.

Perhaps you have TextChatService.ChatVersion to TextChatService and not LegacyChatService. The old Chat service is superseded by TextChatService so you should try using that system instead.

Try TextChatService’s DisplayBubble function.

Perfect, this worked. Thank you so much!
