Welcome to what will probably be the final instalment of these JSON Dialogue tutorials. This tutorial is going to cover adding branching dialogue and event dialogue.

The project file included in this tutorial builds on those used previously, but the JSON file and NPC code have undergone a bit of work. This will be covered more in the Project Overview section, but you may find that if you’ve been building these ideas into one project as we go along, you may have to make some changes!

  • Great tutorial, thanks!

  • Hi!

    I started an open source Game Dialogue Maker project (still very much in alpha) based on this very tutorial. The idea is to offer a node-based system of planning branching dialogue and then you can export it to a JSON file that you can drop to your c3p project here. Everything is in JavaScript and HTML. You can check it out here (and contributors are very welcome):

    I don't understand some things in the example JSON perfectly yet. For example the very first object that sets nextscene to 3. If I leave it out from the output of Game Dialogue Maker then it breaks so it seems necessary. But why is it setting nextscene to 3? Can you Laura_D expand on that part?

  • Hi Laura_D,

    To activate a function, a "Z" press is needed, is there a way to have the function activate simultaneously with a dialogue line?

    RESOLVED EDIT

    For people interested, you can make a new type "lineFunction" and call a line and a function at the same time.

  • Hey, thank you for tutorial, i use Construct 2 and Construct 3!

  • Hi, Laura_D I have a major issue I've been trying to solve. I haven't been able to figure it out. If you could help me out that'd mean a ton.
