So you join the game... an npc walks up to you and a gui is supposed to pop up so the text label in it can type to make it look like the npc is talking to you... the only problem is i cant get the gui to activate when the npc is at the required destination. I use pathfinding service on the npc and it walks to an "end position" block i made. How will i go about activating a gui when the npc reaches the end point? would i use a local script? where would i put the script? I tried a remote event but it says its requiring a real characters touch of a block or something to active the remote event. The npc is obviously not a real player so the remote event doesn't activate.

You can use the Humanoid:Move() function to make the NPC walk towards a part, then use Humanoid.MoveToFinished to detect when they're done, then if it returns true then the gui shows up
This would be used as a script in workspace or serverscriptservice
local gui = -- your gui
local npc = -- your npc
local hum = npc:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
-- assuming you already have moved the humanoid towards the player
hum.MoveToFinished:Connect(function()
gui.Enabled = true
end)
Hope that helps and sorry if its complicated

It works! Thankyou
My other problem was that Roblox studio was acting up. The "player added" event was not working at all, so i think the problem is my computer :P
