Dialogs, lines and characters

Parrot uses three main resources to play a dialog:

  • A Character resource to differentiate between different persons speaking by using different colors

  • A DialogLine resource that represents the currently spoken line by a character

  • A Dialog resource that combines the spoken lines in order

When starting working with Parrot, the developer would first create the different speaking characters.

After that, Dialog resources can be created with the respective DialogLine resources.

Voice support

Parrot automatically plays voice files corresponding to the currently playing dialog.

For this it checks out files in the folder res://voices for files named like the currently playing dialog and the id of the currently playing line (counted from zero) and the extension "ogg".

For example, if Parrot is currently playing the third line of the dialog "example.tres", a file example_2.ogg will be played.

The path and the extension can be configured.

For details, see the API-Docs.
