if your walkspeed/jumppower script doesn't work, use this: local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = 0 player.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").JumpPower = 0 edit the numbers at the end of the line for different walkspeed.

my script works for what you said but once the dialogue ends the player freezes any way to fix that?

Guys i got the script from 8:13 and it works so here local gui = script.Parent local textBox = script.Parent.textBox local textLabel = script.Parent.textBox.textLabel local sound = script.Parent.talkSound local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer local chr = plr.Character local humanoid = chr.Humanoid gui.Enabled = false textBox.Visible = false local function writeText(text,waitTime) humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0 humanoid.JumpPower = 0 gui.Enabled = true textBox.Visible = true textLabel.Text = text sound:Play() task.wait(waitTime) end local function endDialouge() gui.Enabled = false textBox.Visible = false textLabel.Text = "text" humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16 humanoid.JumpPower = 50 end task.wait(2) writeText("i love cheese",2) writeText("i actully dont like cheese",2) writeText("i prefer bread",4) endDialouge() everything works btw

[@guyintheshadoes]

Hello guys, if you are experiencing a bug for the proximity prompt when coding, add a wait(0.1) or whatever, before you apply the variable. F.E. : wait(0.1) local npcDialogue = Folder:WaitForChild("NPCDialogue").ProximityPrompt local scripts can be pretty annoying, but this is how you can fix it. If you get hit with a "nil with FindFirstChild" error then always add a quick wait before calling the variable. I also figured out the humanoid problem. This one should also be pretty easy. You just need the code to check if the player has a character. F.E. : local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer if Player.Character then Player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0 end hopefully this helps!
