This page covers articy:draft 3's voice-over plugin. For the main articy:draft converter instructions, see articy:draft.
If you use articy's voice-over plugin, you can specify the voice-over property in the Dialogue System's converter. This will create a custom field named VoiceOverFile
in your dialogue database that contains the name of the dialogue entry's voice-over audio clip. Put these clips in a Resources folder or asset bundle.
If you set the Dialogue Manager's Camera Settings > Entrytag Format to VoiceOverFile, the value of the entrytag
sequencer keyword will be set to the VoiceOverFile's value.
