Basically dialogue logic can be different, like very simple one:

1. Infinity repeatable dialogue. After closing and starting to talk again it will repeat from the beginning.

{

"dialogue": "dialogue_id"

}

1. Changeable dialogue to the next_dialogue variant or can be the next dialogue.

{

"dont_has_event_key": "event.key.id", <- you can add this key after this dialogue ends

"dialogue": "dialogue_id"

} ,

{

"has_event_key": "event.key.id", <- if we have condition, dialogue will start, else not.

So here you can add key id from dont_has_event_key

from above and this dialogue will start.

"dialogue": "dialogue_id"

}
