Displaying Lengthy Text on a JRPG Template

[CodePrincess]

Is there a way to display a conversation node's dialog text, say, three lines at a time?

I would use the Visual Novel of Basic templates, except to accurately mimic the layout I'm trying to make, the UI's text panel has to remain a fixed size, and my sister insists that trying to guess how many nodes to spread a large chunk of dialog over is not an option.

Any thoughts you have about this situation we're in is more than welcome! Thanks for listening!

Hi,

It would require a little scripting to do it automatically.

Another option is for your sister to write the nodes' Dialogue Text as long as she wants. Then you can play the conversation and identify which nodes are too long for three lines. Put a pipe character ( | ) where you want to break up the node into multiple nodes. Finally, select Menu > Split Pipes Into Nodes > Process Conversation.
