Hi Nick, Yes, you can embed external data in custom fields, or directly in the dialogue text. We've had some studios do crazy things with this, like embedding entire Lua programs in dialogue text and quest entry text. When the player completes a quest entry, it runs the Lua program, which updates th...

As long as the Dialogue Manager from your first scene has Don't Destroy On Load ticked, it will be there to handle DialogueManager.StartConversation().



I got your email, and I'll reply directly to it.

Hi, What GUI system are you using? Is your dialogue UI part of the scene, or is it a reference to a prefab? If it's Unity UI, make the canvas a child of the Dialogue Manager GameObject so it persists across scene changes. (And make sure your second scene has an EventSystem, too. You can make the Eve...

I sent a reply in email. If it addresses the issues, please let me know; I'll post the answer here in that case for future readers.

For the script, try this. I'm out of the office at the moment, so I can't test it. If you get any compiler errors, let me know. using UnityEngine; using PixelCrushers.DialogueSystem; using PixelCrushers.DialogueSystem.UnityGUI; using PixelCrushers.DialogueSystem.AdventureCreator; public class WatchS...

Hi,



For the script, put this line at the top of the file:

using UnityEngine;

Put sequencer commands in the Sequence field, not the Script field. The Script field is for Lua code, such as conditions on dialogue entries. The Sequence field is for sequencer commands.

You should see SetUIElementsActive(true) further down in the Bark() method. It deactivates and reactivates the UI elements so trigger any effects that work in OnEnable, such as the typewriter effect. If any issues come up, please feel free to send me an example scene. For the responses background, m...
