Opening Dialog will appear whenever a Player Launches or Resumes an Event. Opening Dialog is an excellent spot to share a story for context and narrative, hints, or words of encouragement (or despair!) for the Players. See Game Interface for additional context.
Each Opening Dialog you create will display one at a time. The Player must click the “Next” button to progress through all of your Opening Dialog before they can see your Challenges. Caution: being too wordy might detract from the Player experience.
Switch tabs to Opening Dialog (or click the arrows > or < along the top)
Type your desired Opening Dialog to display to the Player when your Event begins in the Data Editor text box and then click the “Add Dialog” button.
Repeat this step as necessary to create all of the Opening Dialog you would like the Player to read before starting your Challenges.
Dialog will appear to the Player in order and is identified by an index number in the upper right of each box in white.
From the “Saved Data” box you can:
- Re-order Event Dialog
- Edit Event Dialog
- Delete Event Dialog
To Re-order Event Dialog click the MOVE UP or MOVE DOWN button(s).
To Edit Event Dialog first click on the white index number…
…then edit the text in the “Data Editor” text box and click the “Edit Dialog” button to save your changes (or click the “X” button to cancel).
Click the DELETE button (X) beneath the white index number to delete a Dialog entirely.
