Hello, how can I make it that I can right-click on an NPC and clikc talk and then an alert comes up and it says what it wants. I tried a couple different ways but there were some kind of errors that I couldn't fix. Thanks.

Well, if you have your NPC's as objects, then it's like this:
/obj/NPC
    name = "NPC"
    verb
        Talk()
            usr << alert("Hello, I'm an NPC!")

Whenever you have 'verb' under another thing, like '/obj/NPC', the verb will belong to the other thing, so it appears when you right click the NPC or something.

                   set src in oview(1)//when 1 tile away from, the verb shows up..

You will also want the verb to show up when within view of any amout on tiles.

Oh yeah, you don't want people talking from across the screen. Sorry, I'm used to text based games.
