How do I make dialogue boxes?

theweb389

I'm trying to make an RPG game similar to the UNDERTALE and DELTRUNE games if you guys have played those. Anyways is there any way I could implement a dialogue box like this but with capital letters and special characters like periods? Thanks!!

I suggest you look at @griffpatch text engine tutorial, I haven't done it. But I know its prob good.

define say(number or text)

set instrument to ((2) Electric Piano v)

set [txt1 v] to [0]

set [txt2 v] to []

repeat (length of (number or text))
change [txt1 v] by (1)
set [txt2 v] to (join [(txt2)] (letter (txt1) of (number or text)))
say [(txt2)]
wait (0.05) secs
end

wait until <key [any v] pressed?>

say []

It seems like that text engine already has special characters, but here’s how to add capital letters.
In the text engine, notice how each costume has a black version named “(ch)” (where (ch) is the character shown un the costume) and a red version named “(ch)red”. So, if you want to add a new character, follow these steps:

Duplicate a black costume of another letter. Move it below a red costume
Update the costume to show the desired letter.
Rename the costume to the desired letter. (CASE-SENSITIVE)
Duplicate the red costume of the same letter. Make sure to move it below the costume that we added in step 1.
Repeat step 2, but for this costume.
Rename the costume to the desired letter and add “red” (no quotes) at the end.

Hope this helps!
