hello：

when I copy chatbox and use it in NPCChat, the unity is error , the inspector was wrong!
I am not good at English, I hope I was clear！ thanks！

 

Hello.

I can't seem to reproduce this.

The recommend way would be to use the Add Component button, this will spawn a new NPC Chat component, and work as expected.

 

thanks！I'll have a try。
