Chatterbox Pop Up Menu


The Chatterbox is a part that allows you to communicate with human NPCs via the use of in-game voices and commands. Players will also have to use the Seat for certain commands.

⚙ Available Commands

Chatterbox Properties Menu

There are eight commands players can use with the Chatterbox. These commands are accessible via the Chatterbox's Control Menu. Players can either assign a specific command(s) to a single key or they can pick the "Choose a Command" option which, instead of doing a single command, opens an in-game pop-up menu so the player cans have the option to pick any of the eight available commands. The eight available commands are listed below.

Command Icon Description
Hello Human responds based on their current mood or desires.
Follow Me Human follows the robot around the space.
Back Up Human backs up from the robot.
Stop Human stops moving if it was following.
Get On Human sits in the seat.
Get Off Human gets off the seat.
Sorry The robot tells a human sorry.
Insult The robot insults a human.

Players can choose whether or not they want their commands to be targeted or area. Targeted commands have an area of influence shaped like a con while area commands are spherical. The radii of these commands can be adjusted in the Chatterbox's Properties Menu.

The Properties Menu is also where players can change their robot's voice. There are currently five different voices available - AA7, DODO, Sid, Vox Bot, and ADA.

⚙ What is the Seat?

Seat Example

In order to use the Get On and Get Off commands, the Seat must be attached to the robot. The Seat includes a lap-bar restraint to keep humans seated. The lap-bar can either be set to open and close automatically via the Properties Menu or can be set to open and close with a key bind via the Controls Menu.

⚙ How to Use the Chatterbox

To use the Chatterbox, all a player needs to do is add the Chatterbox to a robot and use the Controls Menu to map any command or commands to a key. Players can also map "Choose a Command" to a key to bring up the pop-up menu if they prefer not to do multiple key binds.
