npctalk problems

[JohnnyPlayy]

Hi guys.

Is there any way to make npctalk appear only in chat without popup chat?

Use announce with the SELF target.
It will appears as a global message but only for the player that triggered it.

I'm using, which I really wanted to appear just on the screen, not in chat

harboro1,215,212,1    script    #RR04    111,5,5,{
    end;

OnTouch:
    npctalk "West: The inn, East: The Sheriff's Office", "", bc_self;
    end;
}

You're looking for showscript:

harboro1,215,212,3	script	#rockno04	111,5,5,{
	end;
OnTouch:
	showscript "West: The Inn, East: The Sheriff's Office", getnpcid(0, "#rockno04"), SELF, getcharid(3);
	end;
}

If you want others to see it as well, then you'd use:

harboro1,215,212,3	script	#rockno04	111,5,5,{
	end;
OnTouch:
	showscript "West: The Inn, East: The Sheriff's Office", getnpcid(0, "#rockno04");
	end;
}

should be

prontera,155,185,3	script	#rockno04	111,5,5,{
	end;
OnTouch:
	showscript "West: The Inn, East: The Sheriff's Office", getcharid(3), SELF;
	end;

Hmmm, that script won't work though, it will be shown on the character instead of the NPC. It looks like I modified the script command to work with any input and I've added an extra parameter for the player_gid. My bad!

So... it doesn't seem possible to achieve the original goal without modifying your function in the source...! The closest you'll get to is the latest option:

harboro1,215,212,3	script	#rockno04	111,5,5,{
	end;
OnTouch:
	showscript "West: The Inn, East: The Sheriff's Office", getnpcid(0);
	end;
}

It's visible by other players, but it's not a huge deal for what you're trying to do.
