Pathfinding NPC chatting

I have seen games with custom NPCS chatting with Roblox chat feature, and want to know how to do it, anyone got any ideas? I looked at the Wiki on :Chat() but it didn’t seem to give much help.

Found a example on google

Yes but no, I just want the NPC to chat if something specific happens, not really player talking with NPC.

I think that could be a Billboard-Gui?

It looks too much like normal bubblechat to me, some users on another post said it was :Chat() but I couldn’t find a way to make it work.

EDIT: actually, :Chat() could work, give it a try.

This is the best tutorial for him or you

if you want to make it bubble chat you would have to make a gui

this tutorial also includes E interactions too

That is definitely a billboard gui, it has images. But if you want normal chat, use Chat:Chat() and read the wiki on how to actually use it.

You could use the Chat service, for example:

local chat = game:GetService("Chat")
local chatpart = Instance.new("Part",workspace)

chatpart.Touched:connect(function(hit)
 if hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
 chat:Chat(chatpart,("Hey, "..hit.Parent.Name), Enum.ChatColor.White) --makes the part greet the player, dumb example, i know
end
end)
