The script below is in no way complete, all it does at the moment is retransmit what the player said (from the player's point of view nothing happened). It is up to you to add what you want to the script and make it work the way you want to.

In your sphere.ini look for the line:

SpeechSelf=spk_player // make sure it is equal to spk_player

In sphere_speech.scp you'll find the [SPEECH spk_player] block. Under it add the code as shown below:

ON=*
	IF !(<ISGM>)
		VAR.MODE = <ARGN1>
		CAPTURE_SPEECH <ARGS>
		ARGN1 = talkmode_prompt
	ENDIF
	RETURN 0```


*talkmode_prompt* prevents speech from appearing above the player's head, but allows npc's to react to things like "buy" and other commands. 


Next, in a seperate file you can script the capture_speech function. Here's the outline of what it looks like:


```[FUNCTION capture_speach]
REF1 = <UID>

// Get player speach modes
LOCAL.MODE = <VAR.MODE>

// Get hearing distance based on speech mode
IF (<LOCAL.MODE> == talkmode_system)
	LOCAL.HEAR_DIST = 15	// normal hearing distance  
ELSEIF (<LOCAL.MODE> == talkmode_yell)
	LOCAL.HEAR_DIST = 30	// yell hearing distance
ELSEIF (<LOCAL.MODE> == talkmode_whisper)
	LOCAL.HEAR_DIST = 2 	// whisper hearing distance
ENDIF

LOCAL.SENTENCE = <ARGS> // do things with your sentence here

FORCLIENTS <LOCAL.HEAR_DIST>
     // here you can define who hears what, changing the sentence to whatever you want, changing the color ect..
     REF1.TRYSRC <UID> MESSAGEUA 0 0 0 0 <LOCAL.SENTENCE>
ENDFOR```


Good luck!
