Re: scriptable objects and conditions

Thanks for the quick reply, Tony. Could you go into a bit more detail about how to do this? (specifically writing 'methods') - or if not, direct me to some resource that may help me better understand? Ultimately, all I really need to do is check if a scriptable objects value is above a certain value...

scriptable objects and conditions

Hi! On the suggestion of Tony Li, I'm using scriptable objects to track certain variables (specifically skills) with numbers attached to them. These obviously are kept separately from the variables in the dialogue system interface. If I want to simply reference them in conversation conditions or use...

Re: Autoscroll not working how I assumed

Sorry if I wasn't super clear! You guessed correctly, that's exactly what I wanted and it worked perfectly. Thanks for your patience!

Re: Autoscroll not working how I assumed

Thanks! I managed to get it into my project. Any tips on the point below? I still have the issue where each new line in the textbox causes it to change size, which is what I meant by non-destructively undoing the autoscroll? I've tried just disabled autoscroll and/or deleting the sizer text object b...

Re: Autoscroll not working how I assumed

In fact, I may have beefed it - I've messed around with the setting and now the dialogue is very much not working as intended. If possible, would you mind having a look to see what exactly I've done wrong? I'd undo but I've saved since and this is my last backup. Link to project: https://drive.googl...

Re: Autoscroll not working how I assumed

That's great! The text now is centred at the bottom - I had a feeling the solution would be something simple like that, I'm just new to a lot of basic Unity concepts. I still have the issue where each new line in the textbox causes it to change size, which is what I meant by non-destructively undoin...

Re: Autoscroll not working how I assumed

Hi, So I understand correctly: Currently the auto-scroll scrolls up line by line. You instead want to immediately scroll up the full amount of text, which the typewriter will fill as it types? If that's correct, turn off auto-scroll. Configure the typewriter effect's OnCharacter() UnityEvent to set...

Autoscroll not working how I assumed

Hi! I'm trying to get my scrolling text interface to behave similarly to Disco Elysium, where each new line pushes the existing text upwards to make space for the new block of dialogue. Video for reference: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0160LYaFyME&ab_channel=ArdentVision I followed a tutorial...

Re: Skillcheck Modifiers

Hi, I changed the approach to something that may be simpler. Here's an example: DS_AdvancedSkillCheckExample_2023-06-18.unitypackage There are multiple moving parts. First, there's a Skill ScriptableObject asset that defines a single skill such as Strength or Perception. using UnityEngine; /// <sum...

Re: Skillcheck Modifiers

What would be your ideal workflow? You can add custom fields to dialogue entries. For example, you could add a Skill Check field that's a custom field type -- maybe a dropdown with values of None, Strength, Intelligence, Wisdom, Dexterity, Constitution, and Charisma -- and a Required Skill Roll val...
