Fine-tune your dialogue flow with {delay} and {speed}.
Godette:
"Hello!{delay = 0.7} Nice to meet you."
Godette:
"Hello!
delay=0.7
Nice to meet you."
Connect your story to the game with function calls.
{player_name}:
"Thanks! That feels so much better."
Player.heal(20)
Ritsu:
"Cheers!"
Portrait.set("ritsu_smile.png")
Call functions only at specific points in the Dialogue.
Dia:
"Let's brighten up the room a little...{d = 1.1}
{0}
there we go."
# Call this function using its index: {0}
Background.set_brightness(1.0)

Write your epic Dialogue!
# write it directly with triple quotation marks
var epic_dialogue = Dialogue.new("""
Dia:
"For performance reason, I'd recommend
using the method below instead."
""")
# alternatively, write it in a *.dlg file, and load it
var epic_dialogue = Dialogue.load("res://epic_dialogue.dlg")Set the Stage! Add Stage and DialogueLabel node to your scene. Structure your scene like the following:
Adjust the position and size of the PanelContainer to your liking.
Select the Stage node, and reference the Label & DialogueLabel node to display your Dialogue. Adjust and configure your Stage via the inspector. Alternatively, you can also set them in script:
| Inspector | GDScript |
|
|
@onready var my_stage : Stage = $Stage
func _ready():
my_stage.actor_label =\
$PanelContainer/VBoxContainer/Label
my_stage.dialogue_label =\
$PanelContainer/VBoxContainer/DialogueLabel
my_stage.allow_skip = true
my_stage.allow_cancel = true
my_stage.allow_func = true
my_stage.speed_scale = 1.0 |
Reference the Stage node in the script, and set up a way to progress your Dialogue with Stage.progress().
func _input(event):
if event.is_action_pressed("ui_accept"):
my_stage.progress()And finally, start the Stage with your epic_dialogue.
func _ready():
my_stage.start(epic_dialogue)More detailed quick start tutorial here.
