Best approach for anonymous narrator/event text (no character name or portrait)?
Hi,
In my game I'd like to notify the player about certain background events — for example, a knocking sound described as "Knock... knock...", or similar ambient cues presented as text.
I've never worked with a narrator before and I'm not sure what the best approach would be. I don't need a character name or portrait in the dialogue box — just the text itself, ideally in a distinct color to set it apart from regular dialogue.
Should I create a dedicated "narrator" NPC with an empty name and no portrait, or is there a cleaner way to handle this? What's the recommended approach?
Howdy, Stranger!

In AC, any speech line without an associated character is considered narration.
You can display narration differently to regular speech by creating a separate Subtitles menu, then settings its For speakers of type field to Narration Only.
Got it! Thanks!
