another question! @Bifrosty how did u make the ai bosses and monsters? and like how did they know where the player was? and how it knows when and what direction to use the projectiles? ---

Oh wow. I needed this. Thanks @Bifrosty. Quick question: is it easy to add this as dialogue in my game without adding a ton of extra code? It really hurts when I use the text sprite extension and make lots of variables and create positions, flags and timers for it. ---

You can get the player’s position with the “mySpirte x” and “mySprite y” blocks. Everything the enemies and bosses do in the game is entirely possible without an extension. But I used sprite utilities extension to do most of that. It has an “get angle from one sprite to another” block. It also allows you to make “on game update loops” for specific sprites. It takes some practice to make decent enemy AI, this is not my first attempt. Here is a post I made with a simple example: [How to make AI - #7 by Bifrosty](https://forum.makecode.com/t/how-to-make-ai/27776/7) ---

It definitely could be a hassle to integrate to a game depending how far along you are. Here is how I setup my dialogue system in Conquest of Duat: Not that this method also uses the timer extension. 1.Create a function that contains inputs for the text displayed, position of the text, and the duration you want your dialogue to run for. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/5/5/55f61f1f2fd33d1da44e685f25bc3d9772fd0bdc.png) 2.Create your textSprite and set a boolean (true/false varible) containing information as to whether or not there is dialogue on screen. ![Screenshot 2025-11-30 180024](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/4/a/4a7c773a53d6a863706cc3bab63f97320e999375.png) 3.Animate your text. It should be revealed letter by letter for about 60% of the time it is on screen. The “lifespan” sprite attribute destroys a sprite after a given amount of milliseconds. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/7/8/788dedc3f52c980fd9135d6291af09123f730c75.png) 4.End the dialogue. I like to give the player 100-200 milliseconds after the text has disappeared before showing them new text, it just looks nicer. ![Screenshot 2025-11-30 181726](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/9/6/96978c2f3786403ddb3d167672f91cb54dc9f6dc.png) 5.Add your dialouge. Note the use of the timer extension “separately do.” It stops the pause until block from pausing the entire game. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/3/3/33a1c1a3d43263ea81f7bbae1ff99d54d3748088.png) Here is my example in the form of a simple cutscene: > **[fancyTextFunction](https://arcade.makecode.com/S98690-06940-68801-65736)** > > Made with ❤️ in Microsoft MakeCode Arcade. ---

@Bifrosty Thank you so much! I also learned functions that are slightly more advanced because of this to! I always just used them do repeating code. ---

i understand everything there but what does the “set (textspekaing) to True” block do? and what is it for? oh and how did you make it so there are different colors in the sentences in the game? ---

yes! fancy text is such a cool way to make more customisable dialogue, I’ve also used similar methods with functions to make text for Red Line and Westward ---

The textSpeaking variable enables the pause until blocks to be relaxed and ready for the next line of text or the next part of the cutscene. As for changing color mid sentence, just look at the fancy text documentation I sent or look in the code. ---

I see a couple potential problems. Its hard to tell from your screenshot though. I see that your “play song” is set to “until done” set it to “in background” or "looping in background. If that doesn’t work show me your function. ---
