You’ll definitely want to check out the Chatterbox documentation for anything more complicated, but for now we’ll focus on the most basic branching dialogue. You’ll see an empty node the first time you load the editor. To do that, we’ll be opening up the Crochet editor. Okay, Scribble set up? Great! Let’s make sure we’ve got some dialogue for it to show. Maybe I’ll talk about that some other time.
#CHATTERBOX GAME CODE#
I’m putting my font initialisation in the Creation Code for Room1 in the new project I just set up, but in a real project you should have a dedicated initialisation process. It’s pretty simple, the most fiddly part is getting the fonts set up so that Scribble can read them properly.
This is where I’m passing the buck firmly over to the setting-up guide for Scribble. Congrats, you now have a bunch of scripts! You’ll also need to have downloaded the latest stable releases of Scribble and Chatterbox (7.1.2 and 2.1.0 respectively at the time of writing), and the Crochet dialogue editor (technically in alpha, but it’s fine). It’s also useful to have the official Game Maker documentation open in another tab in case you need to look anything up! If you don’t, I recommend trying one of the Game Maker tutorial projects first to get familiar with the engine. This tutorial assumes you know the basics of Game Maker, as well as terms like “variable” and “object”. There are probably more efficient and elegant ways to do what I’m about to show you, but this guide is primarily for fellow non-programmers. I started making Retrace with very little coding experience and largely learned as I went along. I know just enough to get things working, and what to look up when I’m stuck. I actually covered this over a year ago, but there were some big changes to Scribble and Chatterbox in the meantime…and there’s more coming, but hopefully this will remain useful even so!Ī caveat: I’m what I like to call a “utility programmer”. This can be used for any kind of project that requires dialogue, but it’s especially useful for visual novels, RPGs, or anything that requires branching conversations.

Hello! Today, I’ll be covering how to use Scribble and Chatterbox to create a combined dialogue engine in Game Maker Studio 2. Using Scribble and Chatterbox for Dialogue in Game Maker Studio 2
