How to add a text effects into your dialogue:

Adding a text effect is like adding a description of how you want the words to look. All text effects require the | character to start and end the command.

You can combine formatting, colors and animations together into a single command using commas (,).

MINA (talk_agree_happy)

This so |underline, bold, color:pink| CUTE!

ERIC (talk_sheepish_rubneck)

Whew! I was |italic, color:blue, animation:shake| preeeeeeeetty worried there for a bit…

How to turn a text effect OFF:

Text effects that are applied will be automatically reset after each dialog.

To end an effect before the end of the dialogue, you’ll want to use |reset|.
If you want to reset the effect before a punctuation mark, use |reset, no-space| to get the punctuation next to your formatted word(s)!
