2.1.3.1 Node: Message
|
The base node to hold a message for your Dialogues. |
The Message Node is the main node you will use the most in your Dialogues. It not only contains the name of the speaking participant, but also the message, an optional avatar image and some options to handle timing of the message node itself.
The Message itself and also the speaker name, can include special Commands to be replaced with the value of a GlobalValue.
See a list of available Commands at: 7.1-MetaData-List.
