Inkle import json issues

Post by mudukke »

When importing a JSON file it doesn't process what I expected and create node based trees. It seems to just import the json file and let you work from it in the game. This means we don't get to hook up animations and other events directly - or work with a drag and drop interface.

Is there any around this issue?

Thanks

Hi,

No; please see the Ink integration documentation. Unlike all of the other import formats, Ink works so differently that it's not possible to translate it directly into a dialogue database. However, you can still hook up animations and other sequencer commands and Lua code as explained in the documentation.

If you want a drag and drop interface, I recommend using the Dialogue System's built-in editor or a drag and drop node-based editor such as articy:draft, Arcweave, Celtx, or Chat Mapper.
