Creating a Dialogue

Dialogues in Third Crisis are basically a List of Dialogue Lines.

There are two ways to create a Dialogue: With the in-game editor or with code.

Dialogue Editor

To open the ingame editor, go to the game options tab and enable the dialogue editor using the checkbox.

Now with your dialogue created, you just need to save it. Once you do that, you can load it through your mod like so:

var dialogue = DialogueIngameEditor.LoadDialogue("Dialogue\\myDialogue.dialogue");

DialogueManager.StartDialogue(dialogue);

In code

To create a Dialogue programatically, you have to create at least one line first: 
var line = new DialogueLine()
{
    LineID = "line_0",
    Text = "Hey I'm a modded Dialogue!",
    Speaker = "Test Speaker",
    TextColor = Color.white,
    NextID = "" //Add the LineID of another line here to have lines play in order
};

You can then create a Dialogue. Dialogues are Scriptable Objects, which need to be created using ScriptableObject.CreateInstance. Now, you can add lines to this dialogue and lastly play it.

var dialogue = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<Dialogue>();
dialogue.Lines.Add(line);

DialogueManager.StartDialogue(dialogue);

To make a character like Jenna show up in the dialogue, you need to give the line a Character Reference.

var character = Character.Get("Jenna");
var expression = character.GetPresetExpressionID(PresetExpression.Idle);

var newLine = new DialogueLine()
{
    LineID = "line_1",
    Text = "Hey I'm Jenna!",
    Character = character,
    BrowExpression = expression,
    EyeExpression = expression,
    MouthExpression = expression
    NextID = "",
};

Note that the PresetExpression only holds a few expressions while many more are available. You can find all of them here.

Choices

A DialogueLine can have choices attached to it. If a DialogueLine has at least one choice attached, the NextID will be ignored.

Choices usually lead to another lineID, this can be achieved by setting the choice's TargetID.

var choice = new DialogueChoice()
{
    Text = "This choice will simply show another line from it's own dialogue",
    TargetID = "line_3"
};
line.AddChoice(choice);

Alternatively, choices can also lead to a different Dialogue:

var choice2 = new DialogueChoice()
{
    Text = "This choice will switch to another dialogue",
    TargetID = "line_0",
    TargetDialogue = anotherDialogueReference
};
line.AddChoice(choice2);

Yet another way to use choices is by having code executed when a choice is selected. To do this, you can use the OnChosen UnityEvent:

var choice3 = new DialogueChoice()
{
   Text = "Choice 1"
};
choice3.OnChosen.AddListener(() => 
{
    Debug.Log("My choice was selected!"); 
});
line.AddChoice(choice3);

To add a stat requirement (usually perversion) to a choice:

var choice = new DialogueChoice()
{
    Text = "A choice that requires Perversion to be at least 200",
    StatAmount = 200,
    StatID = "stat_perversion",
    CharacterToCheck = Character.Get("Jenna")
};
