[SOLVED] How to make character speech text go away?

[. . .]

So sorry for making 3 topic in a row...but I have no choice but to ask for help since i'm dumb .........

What I need to ask is, is it possible to make character's speech go away with some code?

I know there's " act.target.components.talker:ShutUp() " but that only makes them stop talking not get rid of the speech thing, is there a way to get rid of the text too? Thanks you so much for reading my question, god bless you all !!!

if you mean the text, have you tried forcing the character to say nothing(empty line)?

Yes that's what I mean & yes I tried but making them say 

act.target.components.talker:Say("")

but nothing happened ..

local function CanGoMute(inst)
	inst.cantspeak = net_bool(inst.GUID, "player.cantspeak")
	inst.cantspeak:set(false)

	local _Say = inst.components.talker.Say
	inst.components.talker.Say = function(self, ...)
		if self.inst.cantspeak:value() then
			return
		end
		return _Say(self, ...)
	end
end

local function common_postinit(inst)
	CanGoMute(inst)
end

Now do

inst.cantspeak:set(true)

to mute your character.

Back to false again to let it speak.

Thanks DarkXero !! The thing is that code makes my character not be able to talk.. I just want the text my character says to go away when a code activates but that's probably not possible so it's okay & thank you .

Well I thought watching Wilson talk and say nothing was weird.

local function CanGoMute(inst)
	inst.cantspeak = net_bool(inst.GUID, "player.cantspeak")
	inst.cantspeak:set(false)

	inst.components.talker.mod_str_fn = function(message)
		if inst.cantspeak:value() then
			return ""
		end
	end
end

local function common_postinit(inst)
	CanGoMute(inst)
end

But that should do it.

Quick question, where do me put this? (´・ω・｀)
