[Solved] Include Invalid Settings

[Japtor]

Hi,

It is possible to switch the Include Invalid Settings (It is inside the Dialogue Manager -> Dialogue System Controller -> Display Settings -> Input settings) boolean in a specific moment of a dialogue while the game is in "play mode"?

Thanks!

Hi,

Not in the current version. You can change it before a conversation starts:

Code: Select all

DialogueManager.displaySettings.inputSettings.includeInvalidEntries = newValue;

But you can't change it in the middle of a conversation because the conversation's ConversationModel caches the value when the conversation starts. Do you need to change it in the middle of the conversation? If so, I could expose a property to change the cached value.

Hi,

Not necessary,

At least for now. Maybe in the future, I will ask again. But with this is enough.

Thanks for your answer!

Hi,

I was thinking a little bit more about this "problem", and I reached a conclusion.

I think I will need it to expose it in the middle of the conversation.

Could you create the property you were talking before, please? It will affect in some way the performance if we change it in the middle of the dialogue?

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks,
Javier.

Hi,

It won't affect performance. I'll post a patch tomorrow.

Hi,

Thank you!

Let me know when the patch is available and, if you can, an example to switch the new "Include Invalid Settings" in the middle of the dialogue.

Hi,

Here's the patch:

DS2_ModelPatch_20181209.unitypackage

To use it:

Code: Select all

DialogueManager.conversationModel.includeInvalidEntries = true;

This change only applies to the current conversation. You don't have to set it back at the end of the conversation.

Hi,

So, I guess I have to create a Lua function which has the code you posted before and then make a call to it inside the desired dialogue node, right?

[Tony Li]

Yes, or a sequencer command, or use the SendMessage() sequencer command somehow.

Hi,

Works really well.

Thank you so much for the patch!
