Description

DialogHelper adds easy-to-use dialog boxes to GDevelop, though the extension is not perfect, it does still work.

How to use the extension

To begin using DialogHelper, start by creating a Dialog Box object, then specify all the parameters that you need. Afterwards use the Change Dialog Text action to change the text that will be displayed when the Play Dialog action is used.

For choices:
Use the Add Choices action to add choices to a dialog (use before playing dialog.) Then, use the Is Dialog Choice Equal To condition to check if the last dialog choice was equal to whatever you specified.

If you want to see what exactly the last dialog choice was use the LastDialogChoice parameter.

NOTE:
You need to edit the default variant of the dialog box to have a texture before using the dialog box in a new project, otherwise it will result in a missing texture. I do not know how to fix this as of right now.

Thank you for submitting an extension.

Do you know about the Two choices dialog boxes which looks similar?
