Dialogue lets you manage the dialogue box. It is sometimes called Message Box in some other engines.

Dialogue has 2 modes: ADV and NVL.

In ADV mode, the dialogue shows one line of content at a time. The content is made up of the dialogue text and the speaker name.

In NVL mode, the dialogue can show multiple lines on the screen.

Unlike ADV, NVL does not automatically remove the previous dialogue lines.

Pick the dialogue layout you want this line to use. Only layouts with the Dialogue ADV or Dialogue NVL type are shown here.

Pick the speaker for this line from the Characters list. The speaker name fills automatically.

The dialogue speaker name uses the name defined on the Characters page by default.

Use Custom Speaker Name when you want this line to show a different name.

By default, the selected speaker applies to the current line only. On the next line, the dialogue speaker is blank.

Enable Persist Speaker when the same speaker talks for multiple lines. RouteVN Creator will use this speaker for following lines until the speaker is removed or changed.

Clear Page is only available in NVL mode. If enabled, it clears all previous messages from the NVL page.

Opening the dialogue form every time you change the speaker can slow down scene editing.

If the speaker is the only thing you want to change, use the shortcut defined on the Characters page:

• Type c followed by the shortcut to set the dialogue speaker.
• Type c0 to remove the dialogue speaker.
