Game Maker Tutorial - Making NPCs (New Version)
How to make RPG-style speech/text boxes in Game Maker!
IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR HELP WITH CODE OR ERROR MESSAGES:
I have no problem answering questions that anyone may have, but there are a few things you have to do so that I actually can do that.
1. Watch the entire video and read some of the other comments. A lot of the more common problems are going to be addressed there.
2. You need to have replies to your comments enabled. This one should be obvious, I can't help you with anything if I can't actually respond to your YouTube comments. If you don't have this enabled, go into https://plus.google.com/settings and make sure "anyone" can reply to your posts.
3. I need to know what's wrong. Telling me "it isn't working" does not tell me what's wrong. Give me the actual error message that pops up, if there is one, and if there isn't one describe the situation as best as you can. Telling me your GM version also helps.
4. Take your own best guess as to what's wrong. It helps both of us.
Moving on, you can also do a lot of fancy things like format the text box and make it appear above the NPC's head, make the character turn towards you and talk, support multiple lines of text, make the text scroll, activate cutscenes before, during or after the text has appeared and a myriad of other things.
