Changing text color according to character speaking

#1 Post by EzzyAlpha »

(*mumbles about how it's been a while since I've been here*)

I would like to change the text color of the dialogue depending on the character speaking, but I can't seem to find a way to do so. Is it possible to do?

just add what_color to your character definition. Like so:

define b = Character("The Barber", color="#99FF66", what_color="#99FFFF")
