Babble

Audio babble synchronized to dialogue typewriter output — procedural vocalization tones keyed to speaker identity.

The Babble system generates procedural vocalization tones synchronized to the dialogue Typewriter output. Each speaker can have unique babble tone events that fire with each character reveal, creating the characteristic “character voice” effect used in games like Animal Crossing or Undertale.

How It Works

  1. The TypewriterComponent (GS_Cinematics) reveals text character by character.
  2. On each OnTypeFired notification, the BabbleComponent triggers its configured babble tone.
  3. The tone varies based on the speaker’s SpeakerBabbleEvents configuration.
  4. The result is a procedural “voice” that matches the text reveal rhythm.
