Pop up chat..

Hi there, i've got a question, is it possible to do a dynamic chat system with popups like comics, instead of the chatbox ?

if it is, how can i start to make it ?

It is possible to do it. I believe there was a RPG resource a while back that did just this (though really, really old).

Here's a thought: take the box and fancy it up. Next, create a V image. You will be running this from the "mouth" mountpoint to the box. You can scale it as needed. It is just a tester image anyway. What you want to do is render the V and inner part of the V in real-time to not give it a stretchy look you'll get from image scaling and rotation.

Don't know if it would work, but it's just a thought. Could be fun to implement something like this in the same method it was used in Vagrant Story.

You could look at the chat system in Realm Wars, you can download Realm Wars from CVS.
