What is this?

Do you want a quick simple dialogue system which you can call through code to pop up, say something and go away? or maybe even say a couple of things then woosh away?  Welp, you've come to the right place! 

NOTE:

You'll need to install TextMeshPro before importing this into unity. 

How to use?

You import it. Drop the prefab into your scene, attach it to the cam, reset it's transform and boom. It's ready to take inputs. 

The functions and how to use them. . .

Say() can take a string or string array, and proceeds to print it one character at a time. It can also take a character name, and a line delay.

Skip() skips to the end of the line and then running skip again with 1 second of the first takes you to the next line in the index. 

Clear() clears the stored data and closes the text box. 

The assetpack comes with a testing scene already set up and ready to use for anyone who'd rather see it in action first. 

Any plans for the future?

Ye! There's a premium version coming out. You can either pay for it up front here or become a Patreon to recieve a free key. With the premium version you're able to track character disposition, each character can have a custom text colour or font, + profile pic while speaking. You're also able to make entire cutscenes via the inspector! 

When does it come out tho?

Early January.. roughly. I need a day or two to get everything together for it. 

January came and went.  I've had a lot of other projects so the premium version has fallen to the wayside. I might re-visit this at some later point. 

Spoiler, I did not.
