• ✍️ Written in human-readable syntax.
• 😐 ....
• 📝 And 100% written in GDScript!

Rendered	Written
	Dia: "Welcome! {d=0.8}to the [fx1]Theatre[/fx1]! d=0.9 yet another text-based dialogue addon d=0.3 developed for Godot {gd_ver}." ＼(^ ▽ ^)

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:
    "Loading the Dialogue, written in a *.dlg file
    is much better for performance."
:
    "It'll keep things clean and efficient."
:
    "Plus, you’ll have syntax highlighting
    for better readibility."

""")

# Write it in a *.dlg file, and load it.
# (Just use this, for the reason explained above.)
var epic_dialogue = Dialogue.load("res:https://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)
