So, every time I try to talk to my custom character, it says this

what does this mean?

Ah yes. Sorry about the rather stark lack of documentation. It was promised, but I have been doing spots of work on other projects.

Text must be passed as a string array instead of a string, with each entry in the array denoting one page. Even if you have only one page, you would still pass a single entry array.

Thusly, text = "String here"; would become text[0] = "String here";

I also had it happen once, but, one question, what would the full line look like then?
