Official Roblox Dialogue System and Dialogue Editor Beta

[SteadyOn]

YES PLS

I’ve been struggling with the current one for the last few days

[Davidii]

Please let me know how this new one works out for you!

[Irreflexive]

Will this be officially integrated into Studio beyond as a plugin?

[Davidii]

Potentially when it’s out of beta.

It’s great, but is there a way to zoom out or pan the editor? With my resolution I can only fit about 10 boxes on the screen.

Not just billboards

GUI sizes/positions off by 1 pixel

When I use scaling sizes & put a 9-slice inside of a frame, under certain resolutions either the sizes or positions seem to be a pixel off. This causes there to be “lines” through 9-slices. In most cases, a pixel off wouldn’t make much of a difference, but actually looks pretty bad in games like Miner’s Haven: [21072d17260f88ace6d3206931ebdcde7702fa81.png] [0dfc4f30449bac933699d5633b1a5b7ff1a3f618.png] [cfc63eb77c51e5a0a3b5cf8e0f40725b0782b330.png] … & in my own games: [d806055b6a758ce01f8…

There was a fix that lasted a few hours a while ago but afaik it hasn’t been added back.

[Davidii]

Yes, holding middle mouse click and moving the mouse (like in most 2D editors) will pan the camera.

Can’t Wait to try this out!

[Davidii]

Did y’all need a tutorial to know how to use this thing? Because I just wrote one. Give it a shot!

How to use the Dialogue Editor plugin

Hey, Devs! I thought it’d be prudent to provide a tutorial on how to use the new Dialogue Editor plugin, found here: https://www.roblox.com/catalog/847896485/Roblox-Dialogue-Editor Buttons Let’s start with first things first: what do the buttons do? Well, there are three buttons: [image] Dialogue Editor This is the main method of interaction within the plugin. When you click the button, it will attempt to load the selected RobloxDialogue object. If you’re not selecting one, it’ll try to find …

I can’t wait to test this super cool new feature that I totally have never used before. Thanks David!

My studio stopped responding when I clicked the Dialogue Editor button after using Play Solo.
It starts to respond again after a couple of minutes.

Otherwise, very nice! Can’t wait until this gets released.

Question:

Has an abstract interface, allowing you to customise the look and behavior of the client-side however you like

Does this mean it will be customisable (the way you said it was a confusing for me)? I will probably use it but the style doesn’t my game’s style.

[Davidii]

That’s strange… what OS are you running? Specs? Is the place huge? I can’t imagine why this might be happening.

And, yes, the UI will be totally 110% customizable.

[EmeraldSlash (Rio)]

Awesome!

I’m using Windows 10 with a six-core 3.5GHz AMD processor and 8GB RAM.

The place isn’t large but it has around 15 NPCs and around 20 multi-mesh trees.
Probably smaller than the demo place.

[TechSpectrum]

I would like to go ahead and start customizing that theme now actually lol, so it’s prettier and easier on the eyes so people will use it more.

So it IS real. I’m going to love this, I can forsee that. Cheers to the new system.

[Partixel]

How did you do the bending arrows? Many individual frames?

Trade secret

[ConfidentCoding]

This is amazing. Thanks!

@Davidii

Trade secret

Don’t look in the source code of the plugin, that would ruin the mystery.

[HoudiniDev]

Taken. Looks great so far. Keep up the good work.
