I checked it out, but unfortuately came to the result that it's not gonna work the way you're doing it... I'm sorry =(

I have some ideas about string variables but I gotta work on them and try them.
thanks.

(PS: using animations for the words takes away waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much memory! I'd rather consider using text actors.)

I tried text actors and I know that would be WAAAAY easier and less laggy but I don't know how to use rand on text actors.

it's rather simple:

make a variable, call it whatever you want (integer)

code is:

Code:

var = rand(10);
if(var == 1)
{strcpy(textactor.text, "Hiya supa!");}
if(var == 2)
{strcpy(textactor.text, "Nice day!");}
if(var == 3)
{strcpy(textactor.text, "How's it goin?");}
if(var == 4)
{strcpy(textactor.text, "Welcome back!");}
if(var == 5)
{strcpy(textactor.text, "O_O!");}
if(var == 6)
{strcpy(textactor.text, "lawl!");}
if(var == 7)
{strcpy(textactor.text, "text.textwhatever...");}
if(var == 8 )
{strcpy(textactor.text, "um?");}
if(var == 9)
{strcpy(textactor.text, "I think you're getting my point lol");}
if(var == 10)
{strcpy(textactor.text, "cya");}

AWESOME!!! Thank you, but I kind of need help understanding this fully. I can see these are responses but what are they responses too? Is this so this is what he randomly says, or are these replies to something you say?

right now he is responding randomly.
I also have a code for replying to a specific statement. But I gotta test it before releasing it to you.

How do I make it to where you are able to type into a box? And then where do I put this code (Like is it a draw actor/script editor?)

1st quesition: you make a text actor and enable text input.
2nd question: I think it's best that you put that code on the mouse button down event (like for a button:"send message")

ok thank you but how do I script the text actor to allow me to type in it in-game, like a chat box thing, then when I press enter it sends to another box or dissapears? (sorry for all of these questions, I just want to be able to make games like you)

just like I said, enable text input.
to do that, make a text actor.
then go on "text" where you can determine what text this actor will display.
then at the bottom left, there's a small button which says "enable input" or something similar. there you can start to rock.
