Multi-step monologues for NPCs?

Whilst playing that Halloween scenario, I'm sure that I saw a Kami that spoke in a multi-stage speech bubble, with "skip" and "quit" buttons in it. I can't see how to do this myself, with either dialogs for an NPC or "tasks" set by that NPC. Can anyone explain how to do that, please?

You can add various text bubbles by adding [break] in between sentences. Unfortunatly, it only apears that way in text bubbles, the around channel doesn't show the text segmented, so rather large NPC monologues will still spam the channel.

IIRC it's {break} with curly-pointy brackets.

Ah, I just had time to test that [break] didn't work before you told me it was {break}. Great - got that working now. Thanks!

Everything appearing in chat at the start, before the player has clicked through the steps, is a little annoying, but that isn't a big problem and I'm sure they'll fix it soon enough.

And to use colors in broadcast or item descriptions it's @{RGBA} if I remember correctly, with the color values ranging from 0 to F :)

kaetemi, grimjim,

Thank you for posting different flags (or whatever they're to be called in R2) for a few commands. I was wondering where did you two originally learn of these flags...i havent found any place listing them but i could just be lookin in the wrong place. But if theres somewhere that lists things like this then it would be really helpful. Thx ahead of time.
