Another new version with just a couple changes.

WHAT'S NEW?

  • Characters can have names. These are set with the "myName" variable. The default name is "None", and a character's name will not be drawn if it is set to this. The location of the text and name "box" are set with new variables in obj_textbox: name_box_x/y, name_box_text_x/y. You can also change the font and colour of the names with the variables name_font and name_col.
    See the documentation section "WHAT YOU NEED TO DO", subsection "CUSTOMISE OBJ_TEXTBOX"
  • I've fixed the text wrapping on dialogue choices if your lines of choice dialogue extend beyond the textbox (pictured in the above gif).
  • I've created a GitHub repository for this project, located here.

WHAT'S TO COME?

I'm still planning on altering or changing the scripts to make it easier to declare new lines of dialogue.

I've been trying to use your dialogue system to set up a chat in which the player gains an item. 
I've been trying to use  myChangeVars on a single dialogue option to get it to change a variable when there are no dialogue choices but it doesn't work.

Hey Aavri - sorry, I didn't see this in my notifications!

I know this may be coming too late - at the moment you can't use the myChangeVars outside of dialogue choices. In the next version I'm going to change this a bit and have a more flexible system where you can just specify scripts (including those to change a variable) to run at any point in the dialogue.
