here ya go!

It will require a few little changes to your NPC's but it shouldnt take long.

First, Your NPC needs a title (if it states the Title under the name it won't read it as the NPC's Title E.G NAME=#NAMES_HUMANMALE the Barber) So change your NPC to read this:

[CHARDEF 0402]
DEFNAME=C_H_BARBER
NAME=#NAMES_HUMANMALE //NOTE THE TITLE IS GONE
ID=C_MAN
AVERSIONS=t_TRAP,t_eerie_stuff
DESIRES=i_gold,e_notoriety
TSPEECH=spk_human_prime
TSPEECH=spk_shopkeep
TSPEECH=spk_needs
TSPEECH=spk_human_default
TEVENTS=e_Human_HearUnk
TEVENTS=e_Human_ConvInit
TEVENTS=e_Human_Needs
TEVENTS=e_Human_Greet
TEVENTS=e_Human_Space
TEVENTS=e_Human_Refuse
TEVENTS=e_Human_Environ
CATEGORY=Civilized
SUBSECTION=Tradesmen
DESCRIPTION=Barber

ON=@Create
NPC=brain_vendor
COLOR=colors_skin
TITLE=The Barber //This is what the player sees and what the title is on the paperdoll
NEED=i_gold
STR={66 80}
DEX=90
INT={66 80}
FENCING=100.0
PARRYING=100.0
SWORDSMANSHIP=100.0
WRESTLING=100.0
MACEFIGHTING=100.0
MAGICRESISTANCE=100.0
TACTICS=100.0
ITEMNEWBIE=i_lantern
ITEMNEWBIE=random_male_hair
COLOR=colors_hair
ITEMNEWBIE=random_facial_hair
COLOR=match_hair

Once all your NPC's have their title seperated from their name, Add this to your NPC @CREATE

EVENTS=+e_profession_announce

Then put this somwere at the bottom of your script

[EVENTS e_profession_announce]
ON=@CLICK
MESSAGE <TITLE>

All done! Smile

you're missing the point Smile

Code:

[CHARDEF 0512]

DEFNAME=C_H_TINKER

NAME=#NAMES_HUMANMALE the tinker //this is <JOB>

is different from

Code:

[CHARDEF 0512]

DEFNAME=C_H_TINKER

NAME=#NAMES_HUMANMALE

ON=@Create

TITLE=the tinker //and this is <TITLE>

so just use <JOB> on your event, you doesnt need change all these <JOB> to <TITLE> since it will do the same thing, return the same value and store useless info on your worldsave files. The best way is something like this:

Code:

[CHARDEF 0512]

DEFNAME=C_H_TINKER

NAME=#NAMES_HUMANMALE the tinker

[EVENTS e_profession_announce]

ON=@Click

MESSAGE <JOB>
