I recommend using this inside of the `InteractionInstructions` block for your NPC. Here's a basic setup for your `InteractionInstruction` block: ``` { "InteractionInstruction": { "Instructions": [ { "Continue": true, "Sensor": {"Type": "Any"}, "Actions": [ { "Type": "SetInteractable", "Interactable": true, "Hint": "dialogue.interactionHints.talk" } ] }, { "Sensor": {"Type": "HasInteracted"}, "Instructions": [ { "Sensor": { "Type": "Not", "Sensor": { "Type": "State", "State": "$Interaction" } }, "Actions": [ {"Type": "LockOnInteractionTarget"}, { "Type": "BeginDialogue", "Dialogue": "IntroDialogue01" }, { "Type": "State", "State": "$Interaction" } ] } ] } ] } } ``` The `Dialogue` parameter for the `BeginDialogue` refers to the ID of a `DialogueAsset`, which should be placed in `Server/Dialogue/`. These assets are the core of Dialogue's functionality, as they define the content and flow of the interaction with NPCs. An example `DialogueAsset` is included below: ``` { "Type": "Dialogue", "Entries": [ { "Content": "dialogue.IntroDialogue01.content.0" } ], "NextId": "IntroDialogue02" } ``` # Localisation and `.lang` Files Dialogue fully supports localisation of NPC dialogue, simply supply the `.lang` keys in your `DialogueAssets` and the mod will take the correctly localised string for the given player. # Dynamic and Rich Text Content Sometimes you want a splash of colour in your dialogue, or perhaps some _italics_, or maybe even to refer to the player by name? You can do all of this using placeholders and rich text tags. This is all supported in `.lang` files as well, so you can keep your dynamic and rich text localised. | Placeholder |Result | | -------------------------------------- |-------------------------------------------- | | Italics |Italics | | Bold |Bold | | Colourful! |Colourful! | | | | | {username} |The player's username | | {uuid} |The player's UUID | | {lang} |The language the player is using, e.g. en-US | You can even specify your own custom placeholders. Here's how we register the last three placeholders above: ``` DialogueMod.get().registerParameter("{username}", PlayerRef.class, PlayerRef::getUsername); DialogueMod.get().registerParameter("{uuid}", PlayerRef.class, p -> p.getUuid().toString()); DialogueMod.get().registerParameter("{lang}", PlayerRef.class, PlayerRef::getLanguage); ``` # Integration with NPC behaviour NPCs which are being interacted with include the `NPCDialogueComponent`, which describes the current state of the dialogue. This also comes paired with a `Dialogue` sensor which can be used to detect the current dialogue screen of the NPC, and adjust the NPC behaviour accordingly. For example, we could release particles when a certain dialogue is shown: ``` { "Sensor": { "Type": "Dialogue", "BlockIdentifier": "IntroDialogue02" }, "Actions": [ { "Type": "SpawnParticles", "ParticleSystem": "Alerted", "Once": true, "Offset": [ 0.5, 2, 0.5 ] } ] } ``` # Example Assets Dialogue includes an example NPC and dialogue flow with the `Test_Dialogue` NPC role. Spawn them in your world to see how it all works. ![](images/Test_Dialogue.png) # Credits * Parts of this plugin have been adapted from [Hyspeech](https://github.com/Naughty-Klaus/Hyspeech/tree/master) by [NaughtyKlaus](https://github.com/Naughty-Klaus). * Bundled with [HyUI](https://www.curseforge.com/hytale/mods/hyui) by [EllieAU](https://www.curseforge.com/members/ellieau) * Inspiration for Animalese voices from [BubbleChat](https://www.curseforge.com/hytale/mods/bubblechat) by [BeyondSmash](https://www.curseforge.com/members/beyondsmash). * Built-in Animalese voice files from [animalese-typing-desktop](https://github.com/joshxviii/animalese-typing-desktop) by [joshxviii](https://github.com/joshxviii) # [See the wiki for full a full overview and guide of what's possible with Dialogue!](https://github.com/Lordimass/Dialogue/wiki)
