Then how might I go about getting the various Actor variables if I'm mapping everything? Do I create new variables for all the placeholder actors? Do I have to manually map all the actor fields and custom template fields? I see SetParticipants() in the API, and while that might work for actor/conver...

Ok that makes sense, so I need to register actors in code instead of trying to use the default mapping. What I had started doing was using placeholder actors in the node editor so I could color nodes to make it easier to follow visually. Because I expect to override the actor depending on which NPC ...

Adding link from my OneDrive to a package with an example scene (fred/bob) from my main project that does not work correctly.

Not sure how to explain this but this morning nothing is working properly in my main dialogue database, or any new database I create and test with in my main project. I've reduced it to trying a very simple dialogue with 2 npcs. I use the example database you sent earlier with 3 npcs, and this works...

I haven't seen the transparent problem after upgrading to 2.2.9 bu I am getting inconsistent results using colors and when changing colors. I'm not entirely certain how to reproduce the issues but it seems there are 2: 1) Some colors simply don't work. For example, create a new actor, check the colo...

Works perfectly, thanks!

I was mostly looking for a way to store a variety of name options for a random character in the conversation, eg:

Full_Name: Fred Jackson
Informal_Name: Freddy
Formal_Name: Mr. Jackson
etc

That code does the trick.

And after finding and reading the 2.2.9 release notes I see this was addressed so I think we can assume this is resolved

Fixed: Issue where custom node colors could become transparent.

dialogue system v2.2.8 with TMP Pro enabled.
unity v2020.1.3f1 (was happening on 1.2f1 as well)

I see v2.2.9 is available so I'll update to that, I'm not freezing any assets versions for about month or so.

Example. Conversation nodes use generic actors, at run-time the actor/conversant are set via StartDialogue() or trigger etc. Conversant: Name = Fred Jackson Display name = Freddy J. Age = 22 (this is a custom field on the Actor template) In conversation node I can access Fred's name using: "And...

Looking for suggestions on the most efficient way to manage dialogue that needs to have different responses depending on the actor. I'm assuming I can do this utilizing Conditions on conversation nodes, but... An example conversation is a doctor talking to patients. The doctor could one of several N...
