Dialog Tab

The dialog tab is where the user can create various dialogs used throughout their game projects.

For info about creating a message box, check Creating a Message Box or the Dialog Manager.

If you want to manually enter dialog into your message boxes, we recommend typing it up in the dialog tab and then just copy and pasting it into your dialog box. We used that several times in designing the ERC kit, for instance, the Save option for the Pause Menu, and also the Quit option.
