Share a Clic FunctionPixAngelHi there! I wanted to share with all a clic behavior found in almost all games with dialogue when you clic to accelerate the visible ratio. My method is simple, but I think It works nice.
My CoolDown is configured on 0.7s, and oneshot is on.
Enjoy It and any comments is welcome:
```gdscript
class_name Dialogue extends Control
@onready var _rich_text_label: RichTextLabel = %RichTextLabel
@onready var _next_button: Button = %NextButton
@onready var _cool_down: Timer = %CoolDown
var dialogue_items := [
"Hellow adventurer ! Do you want to escape from this maze?",
"For that, you need yo visit all rooms and find the magic teleporter.",
"Good Luck adventurer!",
]
var dialogue_index := 0
var _tween
func _ready() -> void:
_next_button.disabled = true
get_tree().paused = true
visible = true
show_dialogue()
_next_button.pressed.connect(func() -> void:
dialogue_index += 1
if dialogue_index == dialogue_items.size():
dialogue_index = 0
visible = false
get_tree().paused = false
queue_free()
show_dialogue()
)
func show_dialogue() -> void:
_next_button.disabled = true
if _tween != null:
_tween.kill()
var dialogue = dialogue_items[dialogue_index]
_rich_text_label.text = dialogue
_tween = create_tween()
_rich_text_label.visible_ratio = 0
var duration := _rich_text_label.text.length() / 20.0
_tween.tween_property(_rich_text_label, "visible_ratio", 1.0, duration)
_tween.finished.connect(func() -> void:
_next_button.disabled = false)
func _input(event: InputEvent) -> void:
if event is InputEventMouseButton \
and event.button_index == MOUSE_BUTTON_LEFT \
and event.is_pressed():
_cool_down.start()
_tween.stop()
_rich_text_label.visible_ratio = 1.0
await _cool_down.timeout
_next_button.disabled = false

Almost got it working...SootyHello,
So I tried to keep the challenge as simple as possible, I had to look back over the old starting a dialogue conversation in the end to remember how to do the array of dictionaries, but initially I had it as a simple array of dialogue which I did remember how to do. So currently it kind of works, the last problem to solve is that when I exit the dialogue I want to set the current index back to 0 so if you go and talk to Sophia again the dialogue starts from the beginning. On my button exit signal I set current_index to 0, but the dialogue resumes where it left off, however if I hit back it starts from 0 again.
This is the code for the dialogue box. Also I am unsure if this should be hidden the entire time or if it should have processing disabled? currently its hidden

set_process_mode vs set_physics_processstrayWould there be any obvious issues I'm not seeing if I chose to use set_process_mode over set_physics_process when talking to the NPC?
The reason I even decided to look for other options was due to still being able to shoot/rotate the weapon while talking to the npc or clicking the next button. I couldn't find another straight forward way to disable that from happening until I stumbled upon set_process_mode.
Is this a viable solution to that problem or is there a better one?10Mar. 09, 2025
My simple dialogue systemPurpleSunriseHello,
I wanted to share my dialogue system. It's much simpler than the reference.
Do you think it's valid? Is it too simple or error prone?
I created a resource:
```gdscript
class_name DialogueItem extends Resource
@export var emotion : Texture2D = null
@export var portrait : Texture2D = null
@export_multiline var text : String = ""
```
I created a UI scene for the dialogue box:
```gdscript
class_name DialogueBox extends Control
signal dialogue_finished
@onready var next_button: Button = %NextButton
@onready var text_label: Label = %TextLabel
@onready var npc_portrait: TextureRect = %NpcPortrait
@onready var npc_expression: TextureRect = %NpcExpression
@export var npc_dialogue : Array[DialogueItem] = []
var dialogue_idx : int = 0
func _ready() -> void:
hide()
next_button.pressed.connect(func()->void:
display_textbox(dialogue_idx)
)
func _input(event: InputEvent) -> void:
if event.is_action_pressed("interact") and next_button.disabled == false and visible == true:
next_button.emit_signal("pressed")
func display_textbox(index : int)->void:
if index == npc_dialogue.size():
hide()
emit_signal("dialogue_finished")
return
show()
next_button.disabled = true
text_label.text = npc_dialogue[index].text
npc_portrait.texture = npc_dialogue[index].portrait
npc_expression.texture = npc_dialogue[index].emotion
text_label.visible_ratio = 0.0
var printing_time := text_label.text.length() / 20.0
var tween := create_tween()
tween.tween_property(text_label,"visible_ratio", 1.0, printing_time)
await tween.finished
dialogue_idx += 1
next_button.disabled = false
```
Then I created a scene for Sophia NPC:
```gdscript
class_name Npc extends StaticBody2D
@onready var area_2d: Area2D = %Area2D
@onready var dialogue_box: DialogueBox = %DialogueBox
@export var dialogue : Array[DialogueItem] = []
var _player : Player = null
func _ready() -> void:
dialogue_box.npc_dialogue = dialogue
dialogue_box.dialogue_finished.connect(func()->void:
if _player != null:
_player.remove_control_from_player(false)
set_process_unhandled_input(true)
await get_tree().create_timer(0.2).timeout
dialogue_box.dialogue_idx = 0
)
area_2d.body_entered.connect(func(body : Node)->void:
if body is Player:
_player = body)
area_2d.body_exited.connect(func(body : Node)->void:
if body is Player:
_player = null)
func _unhandled_input(event: InputEvent) -> void:
if event.is_action_pressed("interact") and _player != null:
set_process_unhandled_input(false)
_player.remove_control_from_player(true)
dialogue_box.display_textbox(dialogue_box.dialogue_idx)
```
Is this too simple? Also I created a timer to let the dialogue box close before resetting the index. Is it bad way to do this? I didn't add sliding tweens etc but I think it wouldn't be a problem to add those features to this script right?
Thank you in advance! It was pretty fun!30Feb. 03, 2025
Code addition and one little issuePixAngelIf the player decides to leave after the conversation and then come back, I can't see in your code that the array is reset. Below it's how I solved it for me :
```gdscript
func _ready() -> void:
dialogue()
_next_button.pressed.connect(func()-> void:
dialogue_index += 1
if dialogue_index == dialogue_item.size():
dialogue_index = 0
dialogue()
EndDialogue.emit()
else:
dialogue()
)
```
Another issue is tweens effect are already read before talking to NPC for the first time. How to delay the reading of these tween knowing that the cause comes from the ready function. Can we instantiate the dialogue.tscn in a another way to solve it, or does it exist a method to delay tween effect?30Jan. 24, 2025
Error when showing the dialogue with the NPCram876Hello! I'm stuck at the stage where I need to bring up the NPC dialog box. The dialog itself works without errors, but when I start the dialog, I get an error that the dialog nodes do not exist. Here is my project. In my project, I used resources.30Jan. 11, 2025
can you solve this particle issue?Celsthe particles emit immediately when the scene starts even though that particle in inspectator is set to be false? is that bug in godot?30Jan. 01, 2025
