Dialogue in GDevelop with Yarn 2022 step by step

Описание

I’ll show you how to make a simple dialogue system in GDevelop with Yarn. This is a detailed step-by-step beginner’s tutorial that shows how to create a simple dialogue system from scratch. I cover the following topics:

- How to write dialogue in the Yarn editor
- Use a Yarn command to change a graphic, based on who is speaking
- Allow the player to choose responses during dialogue
- How to set up a custom graphical pointer for options lists
- A way of checking if the player has already spoken to an NPC so that new dialogue can be launched when they speak again
- All events explained, not just shown
- Follow the twists and turns of Trevor and Frodo’s friendship. There’s drama! There’s sadness! There are dinosaurs!
- and general GDevelop tips

I hope it helps someone.
