Question about talking NPC's

[TrueNoir]

So in lasa_fild01 there's npc's that do npctalk when you walk close enough to them. Its not really an ontouch type of deal and I'm trying to code some of the npc's trying to figure out what I could do to imitate it. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Well, these look regular ontouch areas.

lasa_fild01,132,374,3	script	Sloth#doram	10167,5,5,{
	end;
OnTouch:
	npctalk "Hey, there! Get over here for a minute!";
	end;
}

The OnTouch event triggers if you walk into the NPC's zone (not when clicking the NPC). You're describing exactly what OnTouch is meant and used for.

Can you describe what you're trying to do? It's almost impossible to help you based on that alone. What's special about the NPC?

I put the project on hold but what I'm talking about is if you notice from this video i made https://www.twitch.tv/videos/133547893 the npc's talk when you walk near them. So I was wondering if we have some kind of map flag that can be used when a character walks through a certain group of cells to trigger the npctalk command? I'm trying to make it as close to iro as possible which is why I don't really care to do a ontouch when they click on it.

[TrueNoir]

Yeah but does ontouch trigger without clicking on the npc? I thought its only when you touch them. They seem to be working in iro more like if you walk within a certain distance of the npc like around it.
