Text above head of player

[Daniel1975]

I want to make a door that can't be opened.
Everytime someone tries to open it I want a small text to appear above the head of the player that gives him the reason why he can't open it or what he can hear behind the door. I don't want to use this FloatingTextStringOnCreature. Just this plain white normal Text (same as when players talks smt.)
What command to use???

Only way to make that (as far I know) is making the player say that he can't open it.

Oh there is a way. It happens a lot in the first chapter of the game when you try to open some doors or gates you are being told that the gate/door is locked from the other side...remember??  
but I'm still searching for the command

Isn't that FloatingTextStringOnCreature? As I remeber that it is.

But FloatingTextString makes a big sentence all across the screen and the message can't be read for long because it instantly vanishes...I will look
how it is done in a nwn-standard-campagne  

thx anyway!

oh btw mel, did you see my last post in the Antediluvian-section??

i'm guessing u want the object to say it...least i think that's how it's done in the campaign:

void main()
{
//OnOpen
//set for OBJECT_SELF
object oPC = GetLastOpenedBy();
if (!GetIsPC(oPC)) return;
ActionSpeakString("PIKE OFF IT'S LOCKED!");
}

Thx Khadgar. I try that one.

You can make the character speak the line, the door speak the line, or in the combat box with the white thing that scrolls up and disappears.

Yes and I want the door to speak the line not the character. I don't want this white line that appears and vanishes after two seconds.

[Wobbles]

Just make it so when he or she clicks it the door opens a chat window and it says:

(Door picture)  The door is barred from the other side



(Character chat options) Finish.

Or, if you just want it to say it aloud without the player responding just do the one door (OWNER) line and skip the response...
