you'll want to use sprite for the bubble, and use the object screen x(object number) and object screen y(object number) commands

I have a lil' white jacket that lets me hug myself forever.

Youll have to create your own input command since the one in db stop the program. Just dont ask me how, I dont know. But I wish you goodluck with it anyway.

I tried to make an input command that doesn't stop the program. When you hit enter though the screen goes black.

Yes, I had study the input problem... once you hit enter it stop the sync for 50 millisecond and make it long enough to break sync(in my thought.)

anyway...

objnum is your darkbasic object number
object screen x(objnum)

Object screen x, y or z are to convert 3d to 2d like screen.

here my program to show example.


and my code is tested and sucessed.

Whoa... I like a shiny thing...

try using entry$() and clear entry buffer to get your text

One way to position text above the character is to make a plain above their head and texture it with the message. It means the messages get smaller as players move away. I don't know if you want this or not.
