Custom Chat Display

[Emera]

I was reading through some old threads on a custom chat system by littlekinky, and I say a post by FowlPlay4 that really grabbed my attention. Here is the thread. Here is the post. I added fowlplays post to my server and saw that it could be edited to make a really nice chat display. I was having an issue though. I couldn't for the life of me work out how to make NPC's chat display with it. Can anybody help me out?

npcs is the array of NPCs near the player. You can do the same thing as you do with players (haven't tested but should work):

PHP Code:

//#CLIENTSIDE
function onCreated() {
  // Enablefeatures except for chat text
  enablefeatures(allfeatures-0x80);
  // Begin looping
  setTimer(0.05);
}

function onTimeout() {
  // Hide Last Drawn Chat
  hideimgs(200, 1000);
  // Loop through Players in the level
  temp.index = 0;
  
  for (temp.a: {players, npcs}) {
    for (temp.p : temp.a) {
      // Record their chat and trim it.
      temp.player_chat = temp.p.chat.trim();
      if (temp.p.chat != "") {
        // Draw the Text over the player.
        with (findimg(200 + temp.index)) {
          x = temp.p.x + 1.5;
          y = temp.p.y - 0.5;
          style = "c";
          text = temp.player_chat;
        }
      }
      
      temp.index ++;
    }
  }
  // Continue Looping
  setTimer(0.05);
}

Thank's it works. I created a class and joined the NPC's to it.

What? That should go in a weapon script, not in a class.
