If you are looking for an interactive channel where players can chat amongst themselves or respond to an inject, Msngr Plus is a good option:

In the Exercise Editor, head to Exercise > Add Inject and select What Method? as Msngr.

As always, add your content in the text block, choose what persona it's coming From and To then click save and close:

To add a question, select Question and how you want your players to interact with the inject.

Open Text – The player types a response once

Choice – The player selects one option from two or more predefined choices

Arrange – The player organizes options in a specific order (e.g. by priority)

Drop-Down List – The player selects one option from a menu

Multiselect – Similar to Choice, but allows selecting multiple options instead of just one

This flexibility lets you tailor interactions to match the scenario and player's needs.

You can enable automatic replies to questions by selecting the checkbox. There are two options:

Same reply for all choices– Every player receives the same response, no matter which option they choose
Different reply for each choice– Each choice triggers a different predefined response, allowing for more tailored interactions

This feature helps create dynamic conversations and enhances realism even further.

To rename Messenger and change the channel's icon, head to Configuration > Channels > Msngr
