How do I make a character silent?

[Atgood1]

I've tried using inst.components.talker:IgnoreAll(), and this works for the most part, however after certain actions my character is able to talk again. An example is after waking up from using a telelocator staff. Does anyone know a code to truly make a character silent?

Option one, sound but no lines over head:

inst.components.talker.mod_str_fn = function() return "" end

Option two, no sound, no lines over head:

inst.components.talker.Say = function() end

Option three, the right way:

inst:AddTag("mime")

@Atgood1, 

inst:AddTag("mime")inst.sg.sg.events["ontalk"] = EventHandler("ontalk", function() end)

This seems to do the job. It uses Wes' mechanics, just removing the part managing his pantomime.

Adding that line seems to have fixed it. Thank you both for your help
