Y offset for press space messages

This is in a new scene.

Ah, for some reason the Main Selector Panel was not activated! Now I see it.

Normally it's only activated when the Selector/ProximitySelector has actually targeted something. After you customize its appearance, deactivate it. The Selector/ProximitySelector will reactivate it at runtime when needed.

Now the bad news. I have edited the Standard UI Selector Elements. It's now called AW Standard UI Selector Elements. It has been edited, definitely: when I drag it bag to a Canvas, I see the changes I made.

I drag this to both Element 0 and 1 of the Instantiate Prefabs.

No change when I run the game.

Is it possible it gets overwritten by the Selector settings themselves? But there the Alignment is not something that can be set to None. It must be set to something...

Let's try to eliminate prefabs from the whole scenario. Please inspect the Instantiate Prefabs component, and remove any references to selector stuff. The Prefabs list may be left with a quest tracker prefab and a quest log window prefab if you're planning to use either of those.

Add AW Standard UI Selector Elements to the Dialogue Manager's Canvas. You don't need to do anything else. It just needs to exist in the scene. Double-check that the layout is still the way you want it. You can keep the Main Selector Panel child GameObject active. The Standard UI Selector Elements script will automatically deactivate it on start.

Finally, double-check that the GameObject that has your Selector or ProximitySelector (typically the player GameObject) also has a Selector Use Standard UI Elements component. This component tells the Selector/ProximitySelector to use the Standard UI Selector Elements.

That was it!

The player did not have a Selector Use Standard UI Elements component.

Thank you very much for your fantastic help! Time to 5-star your asset in the store!

Funny thing is, this only works when I drag the prefab to the Dialogue Canvas. Instantiating simply does not work and gives the standard UI, even with the Selector Use Standard UI Elements component implemented (it doesn't work without that component either).

Oh well, it works now. Maybe not the official way.

Thank you for the review!

I'm not quite sure what's going on with the instantiation. The Dialogue System's Demo instantiates the UI elements.

Regardless, it's probably better to just keep it in the scene anyway. That way you can easily edit it whenever you want.
