Scribblebox VS Coroutines

- ScribbleBox: Another gem by JujuAdams, Scribblebox is a combination of Scribble and Chatterbox. Scribble handles the text rendering, and Chatterbox handles dialogue. I write dialogue in a program called Crochet, which saves your dialogue in a .yarn file that Chatterbox can import into Gamemaker. Learning Yarn was a bit of a process but wasn't hard. I can even use Input to make text clickable with the mouse, which was a huge pain without it. If your game has much dialogue, I strongly recommend it.

You could look into using Coroutines by JuJu.

I have no experience with async/coroutines, but maybe something like this would work? https://github.com/JujuAdams/Coroutines

Getting coroutines to work in GameMaker is one thing, but making them fun to write required a creative solution. Instead of implementing a slow custom scripting language or editor-side extension to generate coroutine-esque code, this library uses native GML macros to extend GML syntax to accommodate coroutine definitions. You can read all about the new syntax here or understand how and why it works here.
