RoSpeak (V1)
Hello DevForum members! Today, I made my first actual community resource. It’s called:
RoSpeak
RoSpeak is a easy-to-setup dialogue system (for NPC’s) with special customization features. One of the best things about this resource is, IT’S FREE. You can place this in your own game and instantly create dialog with effects, color and meaning!
There’s a lot in store with this resource. Let me show you!
Showcase
You can be really creative with it!
This system includes speaking sounds, but my music covered it up.
Please join the demo if you would like to see it in action!
Setup
The set-up is included in this YouTube video, as well the “Instructions” script inside the model.
Special Features
Inside RoSpeak, you can customize what color each word can be.
HighlightedWords = {
["test"] = { ColorHex = "#FF0000" },
["DevForum"] = { ColorHex = "#FFA500" },
["Cya"] = { ColorHex = "#00FF00" },
Locate this in the DialogueConfig module. Here you can use hex codes to change the color of some of the words.
You change the text here:
Lines = {
"This is a <b>test</b>.",
"Hello DevForum!",
"Cya!"
},
This is how you can change the sound of the NPC speaking, text color and typing speed.
Name = "NPC",
TypingSpeed = 0.04,
TalkSoundId = "rbxassetid://123456789", -- placeholder
DefaultColor = Color3.fromRGB(255, 255, 255),
Most customization takes place in the module, but some things can be changed about the client as well.
You can also change the font of the text inside the DialogueGui (BillboardGui) inside the “Parts” folder.
Closing
I hope this resource is helpful or interesting to you! I’m always open to suggestions, comments, and code review.

Credit
It is recommended, but not required or enforced. Using other peoples resources and systems usually means you should give credit, because you didn’t make it. But, that’s not the same for my system. You do not have to credit me in your game if you use this system. However, I will heavily appreciate it if you do.
Rights
Please do not claim this as your own in your game. I already gave you a free pass on giving credit, so don’t take this as a chance to claim you own this or made this yourself in your game, because you didn’t.
Copyright
DO NOT re-upload this asset or claim it as your own. Have integrity with someone else’s work. Changing the name of the resource or modifying the things inside of it, doesn’t hide the fact that you stole this. Breaking this will result in a filed DMCA takedown request. This means you stole it from me, so give it back.
More updates soon!
This system took me a while to create and setup, including writing this topic. If you could like and leave a review on the resource’s creator hub page, it would mean a lot.
