Does anyone know how to make an NPC say a certain amount of a variable? Like if you have 2825 GR, the npc will say 2825 exactly.

And you've just stumbled on one of the coolest things scripters can do... although it has pretty limited documentation.

Surrounding a variable name with dollar signs will display the *value* of the variable (whether it's a number or it's text) instead of the *name* of the variable. In your case, your character should say something like "You have $_Gold$ greckles in your pocket", and it will display as "You have 2825 greckles in your pocket".
