Hello there!
In theory there should not be any conflict with other notetags, as the only thing the plugin does is run a regular expression on them to check if there is a template tag present. I'll take a look at it over the weekend to figure out what is happening.
Just a question though... the bubble tag is set in the template event, or in the source event that references the template with note tags?
I'll need that info to try and replicate the issue properly! :)
Funny enough, I haven't tried using the speech bubbles on the events that will be event template-ed! The mere presence of seperate/other npc events on the map with the speechbubbles will cause a crash.
I did some experimenting on a fresh project and I figured out that weirdly, it seems to be an odd case where the presence of the EventTemplate Plugin causes something within the SpeechBubble plugin to fail to read itself.
Here's video1 of it working without the speechbubble:

And here's video2 of the speechbubble enabled causing a crash:

Although! Recently I figured out that commenting out this part of the SpeechBubble plugin's code:
return !!event && NOTETAG_BUBBLE in event.meta;
prevents it from crashing but I end up losing the ability to use the two bottom example event speech bubble commands...
Here's the simple test project on a temp upload thing:
Hot damn! That's incredibly amazing!
I'm curious as to what the problem was, if you're interested in sharing the basics?
I'm so psyched to be able to use both the Gab Window Plugin and your event template, which is an absolute life-saver!
Thank you so much for all your hard work, and long live plugins that use notetags!!
Sure, it was a rather simple thing actually. The engine has a feature which automatically parses note tags into an object inside the event called "meta". The SpeechBubble plugin didn't look for the note tag itself, it looks for the tags in this meta object.
The problem was that the way my EventTemplates plugin used to load the template event into memory skipped this automatic parse that creates the meta object, so when the SpeechBubble plugin looked for it in the event which loaded a template it wouldn't find the object and crash. What I did was make sure the templates had the meta object properly set when they are loaded into memory! =)
