 I am trying to get random floaty text to appear when the pc is close to a npc:

[Morbane]

void main()
{
object oPC = GetNearestCreature(CREATURE_TYPE_PLAYER_CHAR, PLAYER_CHAR_IS_PC);

string sGreet;
int nRand = Random(5);

switch(nRand)
{
case 0: sGreet = "Hello " + GetName(oPC);
break;
case 1: sGreet = "Nice day huh?";
break;
case 2: sGreet = "Heya " + GetName(oPC);
break;
case 3: sGreet = "Excuse me " + GetName(oPC) + "I didn't see you.";
break;
case 4: sGreet = "Morbannon is looking for you.";
break;
case 5: sGreet = GetName(oPC) + " spread that gold around a bit huh?";
break;
}


if(GetDistanceToObject(oPC) <= 8.0f)
{
FloatingTextStringOnCreature(sGreet, OBJECT_SELF, FALSE);
}
}

But nothing happens. What am I missing?

Try it with GetFirstPC(), just to see if it works.

FloatingTextStringOnCreature() doesn't work on non-PCs, use SpeakString() instead. Also, case 5 for you will never show. Random() is # -1, so Random(5) produces numbers between 0 and 4. Change this to Random(6) for generating numbers between 0 and 5. Lastly, you might want to set this up as a pseudo-heartbeat, a PC can go quite a distance in a 6 second heartbeat round. So as it is, they could walk up and it might take like 5 seconds for the NPC to say something depending on the timing. When I am checking distance like this, I run a 1 or 2 second pseudo-heartbeat.

SpeakString() did the trick - the pseudo hb was a bit much - the hit or miss randomness is fine....

Thanks KM!

I use this user-defined event script to have animals bark out lines. You could also use it with a merchant. The lines are pulled from a conversation rather than being hard-coded in the script. This way you can use the same script with multiple NPC's and have unique conversations. I use a slightly more complicated script for my merchants so that they can equip a torch at night if they have one in inventory.

If you put the distance check near the top of the HB script, then you can 'return' immediately on a failed check (>8.0). If you have a lot of NPCs running the same HB then it might just speed performance up very slightly.

Also - int nRand = Random(5)+1; will get you numbers 1 to 5.
