Sorry to bug you about this, but is there a way to make the player’s text somehow fit into these little boxes down below?

Capture

It’s honestly a problem that’s quite common in a lot of these NPC dialog systems, including the official one that Roblox a while back.

Because I honestly want people to actually see what responses they’re sending without most of it being cut off onscreen, so any solution to this is greatly appreciated.

Set TextWrapped on the boxes/buttons to true.

Oh nice, that’s pretty helpful.

So uh, where exactly can I find it? It doesn’t seem to be in the settings since I’m looking in there at the moment.

It wouldn’t be in the settings, it would be in the actual textbox’ properties. I’m not sure how to get to it, you might have to edit the code.

To wrap button text, select the ResponseTemplate by going to StarterPlayer > StarterPlayerScripts > DialogueClientScript > Themes > BigAndBoldDialogue > DialogueContainer > ResponseContainer > ResponseTemplate in the Explorer, then make sure the TextWrapped checkbox in the Properties menu is enabled.

Dialogue Maker v4.0.0 release notes

:sparkles: New features

:pause_button: Wait tags

You can now pause mid-message by using “[/wait time=any number]”, where “any number” is…well, any number! For example, “Hello, [/wait time=0.5]Christian!” waits 0.5 seconds before saying “Christian”.

:framed_picture: Conditional themes [BREAKING CHANGE]

I’m personally not a fan of using Scale everywhere because it can overstretch themes and not follow my intended design. So, I added a couple of server settings to change the default theme based on the minimum viewport width and minimum viewport height. I was inspired by “@media screen” in CSS.

Here’s an example where Dialogue Maker defaults to BareBonesDialogue, but shifts the default to BigAndBoldDialogue when the client’s viewport width is at least 320 pixels:

DefaultTheme = {
  {
    MinimumViewportWidth = 0,
    MinimumViewportHeight = 0,
    ThemeName = "BareBonesDialogue"
  },
  {
    MinimumViewportWidth = 320,
    MinimumViewportHeight = 0,
    ThemeName = "BigAndBoldDialogue"
  }
};

:hammer: Bug fixes

:broom: Code review

:arrow_up: Migrating to v4.0.0

Fix scripts

You need to press the “Fix Scripts” button after updating the plugin. This will replace the internal scripts with the new versions.

Rename “GetDefaultTheme” to “GetDefaultThemes”

Look in the “DialogueMakerRemoteConnections” folder in ReplicatedStorage for “GetDefaultTheme”. Rename it to “GetDefaultThemes”.

Update NPC settings

Copy your NPC settings into a notepad, delete the NPC settings script, reopen the NPC settings, then update the necessary settings.

Update server settings

Replace your “DefaultTheme” server setting value with:

DefaultTheme = {
  {
    MinimumViewportWidth = 0,
    MinimumViewportHeight = 0,
    ThemeName = "BigAndBoldDialogue"
  }
};

Change the theme name as necessary.

Hi everyone,

v5.0.0 is just around the corner, jampacked with some cool new features, bug fixes, and accessiblity improvements.

For example, message types can now be changed with a dropdown menu!

I’m particularly excited about the text effects. I might end up using Defaultio’s module, so you’ll be able to do something like this:

This will be a major update, so I need some testers who’ll give me feedback to make sure the plugin still works well for them.

If you’re down to me notifying you when v5.0.0 is ready for testing, please send me a DM. You will be acknowledged in the GitHub README page if you provide feedback.
