[[Category:Component Modding]]
[[:Category:Component Modding]] are all optional properties that can be added to any file. Components are useful in extending the original files with even more information, such as the cost of the item or whether the block can be broken by a weapon.

On this page, we go over the Talk To component, signified by the following;
<pre>
"talkTo": {
  =Content=
}
</pre>
Talk To components are one of the components that are related to [[Achievements]]. This component is for making the player talk to an npc. This is mainly used as a way to point players to finding more information about the game and to help direct them.


= When and How to use =
Talk To components are used whenever you want an [[Achievements|Achievement]] that tracks who you have talked to since activating the achievement.

To start off with first, you should create an [[Achievements|Achievement]]. Once that is done, you can add the following below the last property of the file;
<pre>
"talkTo" : {
  "npc" : "FarmFan",
  "translationString" : "staxel.achievements.talkFarmFanOverlay"
}
</pre>

The first property is the [[Villager NPCs#"name"|Villager's name]] that you want the player to talk to. The second property, "translationString" is the translation string for the achievement description. 

With that this component is done.
