Okay, i've got a spriteon auto face that when i talk to continues to walk around as if i wasn't talking to her.
Any ideas???

Setting an entity to auto-face doesn't make it stop moving when it gets activated. One of the easiest ways to force an entity to stop moving is to do something like this...

void talk_to_guy() {

	// this is called when you talk to a particular entity



	// what we're doing here is storing the entity's current

	// speed, then setting it to 0, effectively stopping its

	// movement

	int reset_speed = entity.speed[event.entity];

	entity.speed[event.entity] = 0;



	// talk with the guy

	. . .



	// now you're done talking to the guy, so clean up

	// by setting the entity's speed back to normal

	entity.speed[event.entity] = reset_speed;

}

This is a little kludgy and it might be nice to function it out or whatever, but it works. In fact, it's exactly what I did in Journey to Black Mountain.

Good luck.

Isnt there an entity pause function that pauses the entity til you unpause them?

There IS a function for freezing ALL entity updating (check the documentation for it's name, it currently escapes me) but that does of course mean that EVERYONE stops dead when you engage in conversation. Still, this might be desirable.

As far as I recall, I thought it was Showpage() that updates entities.

Yeah, ShowPage does a lot of hidden background stuff unrelated to its main function.
