I made this and used it in one of my games and I thought I should share it.
That place is uncopylocked so if you want the Dialogue system simply download a place and copy the required scripts and UI
Functionality
Allows you to make custom dialogue and use it on a custom UI, it is important that you have the required UI elements as the code needs them.
If a new event from the server is received while the client is already in a Dialogue then the old dialogue is halted and the new one plays.
It is easy to make new dialogue’s you just have to put them in a module as such

return module
There are two examples here, both being functional, it is important that you maintain that structure when making/editing dialogue, otherwise it will not work.
what I found was useful was to feed the example into chatGPT and tell it to, following that dialogue structure to make custom dialogue, it is certainly easier then doing it manually
(The Coffee one was made by chatGPT after I gave it the Homeless Guy one as an example and told it to make another random dialogue)
