Hi,

Would you please provide more details? What database format? Import at design time or runtime?

If you're using Google Sheets, export as CSV. Then import it using the CSV Import window (Tools > Pixel Crushers > Dialogue System > Import > CSV).

The spreadsheet must be in a specific format. To see an example, export the demo database using the Dialogue Editor window:

Then add your actors, assigning a unique ID number to each one. In the example below, I added a new actor named "Anime Guy":

Then import it with overwrite, which will add it to your database:
