Your autorun signal bus is something I never would've thought of! That'll come in handy so often

[Aarimous]

I like the smooth edits between clips. Nicely done ❤

[Mishamallow]

This was super handy! Best tutorial for a dialogue system I've come across

[mantequilladev]

That SignalBus is a great idea, never thought of that before

You have a very nice of way teaching godot, please continue like this 💎 please remake this video this code no longer works for godot 4

[Aicellycut]

Great! Can you do the same in godot 4? I've spent many hours on this, but I still haven't figured out how to make a dialog system there.

[FinrodIngoldo]

Very helpful tutorial Steve, thanks! For something like this in a bigger game, would you use multiple json files for different areas? Say, different towns in an rpg or something like that? Or just grow a giant json...? Personal preference?

[deltaruness]

Awesome tutorial, this really works for make a great game with this Dialog System!! good job!

[Tm-dnob]

for some reason the dialog key doesn't shown an instance of the the node... is there somthing im missing

[iknowwhoyoupretendiam]

I really loved your explanation. This video is one of the few wich got me to really understand what to do with the .json file to put it back into text.
Would you perhaps have any tips on how to implement choices? I've seen other videos and even readed a LOT of code from various plugins of other people who did it, but I just can't seem to grasp what they're doing and, more important, what will I do to achieve a system with different options of dialogue.
I will be very grateful if you can comment some tips on how to deal with this, I'm really lost lol

I get a "Invalid get index of type 'String' (on base: 'Dictionary')." error in my code. Any solution?

[josephlinton]

can someone explain how to write 'export (String, FILE, "*json") var scene_text_file' because since it's godot 4 now this no longer works nor do i really understand what's going on here.

[MiguelNoctis]

I keep getting an error for the Godot 3 at this line..

selected_text =

I can't for the life of me figure out why
