How to make simple NPC dialogue in Roblox Studio 

Some more advanced tutorials will be coming out soon, I want to cover a few simple things first then we can get into the cool stuff 😎

dude, thank you so much man, not only would this be helping me make games, but it also helps me learn at the same time! you've earned yourself another subscriber!

Joe is my third husband. We have three kids together, how do I make him STOP talking to other women, and talk MORE to ME instead? Thanks! 😊🙏

Since I've started working on a little dating sim kind of game in roblox, I've gotten into trying to learn to script in Lua and use Roblox Studio, and your videos have been a delight to watch! Very simple and understandable instructions, nice voice and straight to the point video. You even think of little details like failsafe measures or extra things like sound!

very well made and useful tutorial straight forward and even thought me a few things, keep it up dawg ill definitely support

I got to the end expecting it to work but.. NUH UH. I currently am tweaking out because I just wasted a good 40 minutes of my life trying to find out what I got wrong

For those wanting the code for joe here it is: local gui = script.Parent local textBox = script.Parent.textBox local textlabel = script.Parent.textBox.TextLabel local sound = script.Parent.talksound local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer local chr = plr.Character local humanoid = chr.Humanoid local dialogueFolder = game.Workspace.dialogueFolder local joeDialogue = dialogueFolder.joeDialogue.ProximityPrompt gui.Enabled = false textBox.Visible = false local function writeText(text,waitTime) humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0 humanoid.JumpPower = 0 gui.Enabled = true textBox.Visible = true textlabel.Text = text sound:play() task.wait(waitTime) end local function endDialogue() gui.Enabled = false textBox.Visible = false textlabel.Text = "" humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16 humanoid.JumpPower = 50 end joeDialogue.Triggered:Connect(function() joeDialogue.Enabled = false writeText("cheese", 2) writeText("ye this is royalmonkey", 2) writeText("cheese",2) endDialogue() joeDialogue.Enabled = true end)

Yes, thank you so much! I am trying to get into Roblox studio and this would be so cool to add into my game!

MAN THANKSSS WAS LOOKING FOR SOMETHING LIKE THIS IT WAS SO SIMPLEEEEEE KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BTW UR CHANNEL IS SOOO UNDERATEDDD Edit: got urself a new sub

if the script doesnt work try this local dgui = script.Parent local textbox = dgui.Textbox local textlabel = dgui.Textbox.TextLabel local sound = dgui.TalkSound local function writeText(text, waitTime) dgui.Enabled = true textbox.Visible = true textlabel.Text = text sound:Play() wait(waitTime) end wait(2) writeText("Your text", 2) writeText("Your text", 2) writeText("Your text", 2) writeText("Your text", 2) writeText("Your text", 2) dgui.Enabled = false textbox.Visible = false (you can make the text whatever you want)

That was by a big margin the best intro I've ever heard on a YT video

i really love this tutorial, i dont even speak english but i understood everything 🙏🙏

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS! I just took around 3 hours doin this... but it definitely helped A TON and I think I understand scripting just a tiny little bit better now. THANKS SO MUCHH! AND I WOULD LOVE TO TRY THE MORE ADVANCED VERSION

Hello guys, if you are experiencing a bug for the proximity prompt when coding, add a wait(0.1) or whatever, before you apply the variable. F.E. : wait(0.1) local npcDialogue = Folder:WaitForChild("NPCDialogue").ProximityPrompt local scripts can be pretty annoying, but this is how you can fix it. If you get hit with a "nil with FindFirstChild" error then always add a quick wait before calling the variable. I also figured out the humanoid problem. This one should also be pretty easy. You just need the code to check if the player has a character. F.E. : local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer if Player.Character then Player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0 end hopefully this helps!

if your walkspeed/jumppower script doesn't work, use this: local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = 0 player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").JumpPower = 0 edit the numbers at the end of the line for different walkspeed.

thank you for the tutorial! im slowly learning how to script more and this made sense and worked, thanks!

so useful! I'm going to show this to a friend

hey so everything was working up until i tested it and i interacted with joe and the text didint pop up? i thought i did everything right? do u have any solutions? btw i subscribed

thanks for the simple and easy to follow along tutorial :)

I finally learned to do it on proximity prompt tysm , I'm also gonna add something extra which is cameras position

Am i the only one getting this error that says joeDialogue isn't valid member of the dialogue folder? I mean it does work in roblox studio but when i tried it on my real game it doesn't work and then when i check my roblox studio back it gives me the error..

Thank you kind sir

6:27 are you sure that's not a demon in your room? what are you hiding?

Hey! So when i added the parts that stopped the player from moving, the script stopped working. I then removed those edits and it worked again. The player being frozen didn't really matter to me so I just moved on. I added the last edits and the proximity prompt was not working. I have tried everything, I've checked the script for mistakes, and when I interact still nothing happens. Can you reply to this with the fully copied script so I can paste that in? I don't know what to do

no hate, but the script didn't work for me, did i do something wrong? example: i play the game and the text only says "label" it doesn't play the text like usual, please let me know how to fix this!

everything works other than the text actually changing, its just stuck on "text"

What’s the BG music name? It’s perfect for the game I’m doing 😭 (For reference, I’m talking about the music that plays at 2:35, this is invade the music changes sometime in the vid)

Congarts on 1k man!

Hey, your channel has a lot of interesting tutorials. I just am really interested in learning luau because I’ve been building since 2020 and just know the very basics of scripting after like 4 years, so could you please let me know how and where to learn luau from?

I need help I did everything you told me to but for the text it isn’t working I followed everything you did but my text just says “label” how do I fix this please help!

Dude, you are freaking hilarious.

i am having difficulty at the proximity part. ive double checked everything and everytime i run the test, the part in the npc folder dissapears. how do i fix that?

hey this is amazing! i have one tiny issue though, i tried to make some simple dialouge and whenever i edited the script i had to wait 5 minutes for it to work again

Thank you man you really helped me!

you just earned a new sub (;

Your video it's so good! you are the best! i have a ideia for you, make an functional computer

You could have done gui.textBox to make the script shorter

THANK YOU SO MUCH

im pretty bad to copy because im accoustik could u add the script in the bio of the vidéo pls (gg for 2K)

bros cooking food in his room

Howdy fellow human

Thanks for the help man!

if you could, it would be easier for newer players for you to copy the script part and put it in the disc

Great tutorial, but can you please recreate the drake video? please

11:40 i accidently delete the writetexts scripts..and nothing works rn

doesn´t work :/ the script doesn´t work, i dont know why, i play the game and the textbox appear, but it doesn´t change, it stays: text, i did every thing you did, i dont know what is going on, please help

HES NOT JOE I AM JOE

whenever i try to make the player speed and jump power to 0 it doesn't work (i suck at coding)

for some reason when I add the other dialogue for Fred or the second person the Gui doesn't stay hidden

It doesn't work I did everything like in video I have that button and I wrote all scripts like in video but when I'm pressing E it's just not working (I'm very beginner in scripting)

i starred in this tutorial btw

Love the tutorial! but I'm stuck the proximity part, is there a way to fix a bug when the proximity part is pressed no text box shows up?

Hey man, Could u do a tutorial on how to make those monsters u made some videos ago? thanks!

W video fr tho i really appreciate it💪💪💪💪

I love this 😭👊

Hi i know im a little late but this worked until the very end, I could interact with the npc but text is not showing or the dialogue do you know how to fix this?

When I talk to my character everything works but the dialogue is stuck on text. Can someone help please

Great tutorial not gonna lie. But I have a problem how can I make the dialogue words typed one by one?

IT works perfectly yahoo

you might wanna give a more modular way to do this, like you should have a video that takes some extra skill, so you can get some more well made videos out.

how do i make the text animated? a typewriter effect, like make the letters appear one by one, i used to be able to do it but i sorta forgot since im not used to scripting anymore,

This is a message, not a dialogue

Hey, idk if u will see this but I make the script shown in the video but every time I interact with the proximity prompt/npc nothing happens (I’ve checked for spelling)

I followed everything and like triple checked, but when I try to interact with my character, theres no button to do so :(

This is an amazing tutorial but im kind of in a rush with my game. If it is possible, can you write down the script in a reply? Edit - 70th comment

The Proximity Prompt won't even show up, how do I fix this

Hmm if I put another one far away from joe, I can't interact with it.

It’s telling me humanoid doesn’t exist how do I fix it

I did everything correct but nothing works LIKE ALWAYS whenever I try to do a tutorial NOTHING WORKS NO MATTER HOW EARLY IT IS

Here is a better version if you want: follow the tutorial to set up pls local GUI = script.Parent local TextBox = script.Parent.DiolaugeBox local TextLabel = TextBox.TextLabel local TalkSound = GUI.TalkNoise -- make sure the Sound is called TalkNoise in the GUI local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer local chr = plr.Character local hmd = chr.Humanoid local Dummy = workspace.Dummy -- put Dummy as any other npc or dummy local Prompt = Dummy.ProximityPrompt -- make sure the model has a proximity prompt local function WriteText(Text, WaitTime) hmd.WalkSpeed = 0 hmd.JumpPower = 0 GUI.Enabled = true TextBox.Visible = true TextLabel.Text = Text for i=1,#Text do TextLabel.Text = string.sub(Text, 1, i) TextLabel.TextColor3=Color3.fromRGB(255,255,255) -- color of text TalkSound:Play() task.wait(WaitTime) -- wait time has became the time it takes for each letter to appear end end local function EndDio() hmd.WalkSpeed = 16 hmd.JumpPower = 50 GUI.Enabled = false TextBox.Visible = false TextLabel.Text = "" end Prompt.Triggered:Connect(function() WriteText("Replace with your text", 0.05) wait(2) WriteText("Replace with your text", 0.05) wait(2) EndDio() end)

the interact button wont pop up for me

the second dialogue doesn't work at me i probably did something wrong but i dont think so "fredDialogue is not a valid member of Folder "Workspace.dialogueFolder"" i get this error but fredDialogue is a valid member of dialogueFolder i dont get why it doesn't work and when i try to do the second dialogue the first dialogue doesn't work anymore too think you can help me man?

I am going to use this thx

Hey RKGAM3Zs can you tell me whats wrong? i dont want a sound but the script down below is what i put in please help me with this, Thank you! local gui = script.Parent local textBox = script.Parent.textBox local textLabel = script.Parent.textBox.TextLabel local function writeText(text, waitTime) gui.Enabled = true textBox.Visible = true textLabel.Text = text end task.wait(2) writeText("This used to be my favorite spot", 2) writeText("But ever since that thing happened", 2) writeText("Things havent been the same...", 4)

hey if you can read this i was wondering on how to make the dialogue sound come on for every letter pressed instead of one time for the entire sentence. is there a way to do that?

❤❤

Could you write down the scirpt ?

Do you mind making a tutorial on something similar like this, but actual chat bubbles? Like, upon interaction, the NPC says something in a chat bubble (similar to our chat bubbles, not the one with a blue highlight)
