Hey! It's my first time making a game and I made a simple dialogue manager in godot. Thought it might be useful to put it out here

Here's the script (sorry about the formatting):

class_name Dialogue

extends Node2D

@onready var dialogue_animation_player: AnimationPlayer = $AnimationPlayer

@onready var arrow_animation_player: AnimationPlayer = $TextureRect/AnimationPlayer

@onready var dialogue_node_2d: Dialogue = $"."

@onready var text_label: Label = $TextureRect/Label

@onready var timer: Timer = $TextureRect/Timer

signal dialogue_started()

signal dialogue_ended()

signal text_ended(idx: int)

var texts = [

{ "text": "", "auto": false },

]

var curr_text = 0

var curr_letter = 0

var dialogue_on = false

# Called when the node enters the scene tree for the first time.

func _ready() -> void:

arrow_animation_player.play("wiggle_arrow")

# Called every frame. 'delta' is the elapsed time since the previous frame.

func _process(delta: float) -> void:

pass

func start_dialogue():

dialogue_on = true

dialogue_started.emit()

dialogue_animation_player.play("show")

dialogue_node_2d.show()

set_text(texts[0].text)

func next():

if curr_text == texts.size() - 1:

dialogue_on = false

dialogue_ended.emit()

dialogue_animation_player.play("hide")

text_label.text = ""

curr_text = 0

else:

curr_text += 1

set_text(texts[curr_text].text)

func set_text(text: String):

text_label.text = ""

curr_letter = 0

timer.start(0.025)

timer.timeout.connect(add_letter)

func add_letter():

if curr_letter == texts[curr_text].text.length():

text_ended.emit(curr_text)

timer.stop()

if texts[curr_text].auto:

next()

else:

text_label.text += texts[curr_text].text[curr_letter]

curr_letter += 1

func _input(event: InputEvent) -> void:

if dialogue_on && event.is_action_pressed("lmb"):

next()
