[asset] character

Element describing a character asset in the asset section.

A character has an internal name, by which it is referenced by commands. It also has an optional display name. If no display name is supplied, no name will be shown in the textbox or the textbox's name box.

Each character must be associated with a textbox. There can be multiple textboxes on the stage at once so it is possible to let some characters speak to one textbox and some other characters speak to another textbox.

Usage

In the assets section:

<!-- A named character: -->
. character ~s, textbox tb_main :
    <displayname>Sylvie</displayname>
--

<!-- A nameless character, e.g. the narrator: -->
. character ~n, textbox tb_main
