This video guide will demonstrate how to effortlessly import Twine stories into Unity’s Dialogue System. The process assumes a basic understanding of the Dialogue System, so if you’re unfamiliar with it, please refer to the QuickStart tutorial in the manual.
To begin, ensure that you have added the Twine Story Format to Twine. You can find the link to do this in the Dialogue System’s manual under the Import and Export section for Twine. Open a simple Twine story, incorporating specific text elements supported by the Dialogue System. For instance, include sequence blocks, speaker names with Twine formatting, and script blocks.
Next, switch to the Twine Story Format and hit play. This will generate a JSON text file, which you’ll need to save. In Unity, select Tools > Pixel Crushers > Dialogue System > Import, then enable Twine support if prompted. Add your Twine JSON files to the JSON Files list, specifying the primary actor, conversant, and destination database for each story. Click the Import button to complete the process.
