Chat log

This script adds each dialogue line to a single Text box, creating a log of all speech.

It can optionally tint the text according to the character who says each line, as well as include clickable Conversation options.

To use it:

1. Create a new C# file named ChatLog and paste in the code below
2. Add a TextMeshPro UGUI component to the scene, attach the Chat Log component to it, and assign the Text component in its Inspector.
3. (Optional) The UI can be converted to an AC Menu, but don't link the Text box itself to a Label element - only the UI canvas prefab.
4. (Optional) If the Text box is assigned as the Content of a Scroll Rect, assign it as the Auto Scroll Rect to have it scroll to the bottom automatically. Note that you'll also need to have a Content Size Fitter component on the Text box with its Vertical Fit set to Preferred Size. To allow for manual scrolling at the same time, attach the Chat Log component instead to the Scroll Rect.
