    Hi,
    How do I make the floaty text appear above an NPC's head? I've got the code:
    But I do not understand how to use it. Do I insert this in the NPC properties? Or what do I do with it?

    Please Help!

    There is a SpeakOneLinerConversation function that does what you are asking for. You don't need all that stuff you have up above.

    You might try looking in at a character that speaks a 'over the head' dialogue in the editor. Several of the characters in the Prologue do so, that should show you how to use the above function.

    Aloha
