Group chats

A chapter (or side conversation) can be a group: several NPCs in one thread. In Ink, prefix lines with the speaker name in brackets.

Who is talking

[Ben] anyone free tonight?
[Chloe] I'm down
[Ben] sick

Names need to match characters in that conversation.

Media and typing

[Chloe]<fake-type-2>
[Chloe]<pool-pic>
[user]<awkward-selfie>

[user] is the player sending media into the group.

Reactions

[Ben] that pic is cursed
[Chloe]<😂>
[Ben]<💀>

Rename the chat

~ RenameGroupchat("Pool emergency")

Only works while this group conversation is the current one. Empty / whitespace clears back to the default joined-names title. Shows in the header, Messages list, and notification banners.

Share cards

[Ben]<share-thegram-alex>

Same share tags as 1:1, attributed to that NPC.

Tips

• Keep speaker names consistent with Studio character names.
• Don't forget the player still needs choices (*) to talk; NPC lines are narration from the group.
• Profile pic overrides via ChangeProfilePic still apply per NPC inside the group.
