Talk
The talk function is the main function that lets characters speak. It can also be used in choice prompts.
Syntax: talk [character] [pose] ["Text"]
  • character: This is the id of the character (as defined in characters.json)
  • pose: Refers to which sprite to use for the dialogue, as defined in the list of sprites in characters.json for this character. This allows you to have different expressions per character
  • text: The actual line of dialogue to speak
A shorthand for the narrator speaking (without any character sprite or name) is to just write a line of dialogue without the talk command ("My line of dialogue"

Example

talk_example:
talk cat idle "I'm talking to you!"
"This is a shortcut for the narrator talking"
talk player idle "The player can also talk"
