can't change font

Post by FunD »

Hello,

I'm having a strange issue, I can only change the font of the top panel but not of the bottom panel.
I am changing at the right spot (I've done it before)
It keeps displaying the font I chose last time, but that issue appears only for the 'PC Subtitle'. The 'NPC subtitle' changes font settings fine.
It seems to apply the changes within Unity, but as soon as I playtest it does not work.
Help?

Hi,

Is your Dialogue Manager's Dialogue UI field perhaps pointing to a prefab and not to your edited version?

Other than that, I can't think of why this might happen. Please feel free to send an example scene/project to tony (at) pixelcrushers.com and let me know what version of Unity to use. I'll be happy to take a look.

Hello

How would it point to a prefab though? I did not create a prefab for this, so I'm not sure.

I just sent an email at tony (at) pixelcrushers.com with a sample for my scene
thanks so much for your help

Hi,

What's appearing in the bottom panel are the response menu buttons, not the PC subtitle text.

Try this: Inspect the dialogue UI's Bottom Panel > Response Menu Panel > Response Button 1 > Label. Change its font. Then do the same for Response Button 2 and Response Button 3. This should make it work the way you want.

---

Now if you want the player to automatically say those lines (such as "SHANNON: Who's Pete?"), then change these settings on the Dialogue Manager GameObject:
  • Subtitle Settings > Show PC Subtitles During Line: tick
  • Input Settings > Always Force Response Menu: UNtick
If the player only has one response, it will automatically play that response using the PC subtitle text. Otherwise it will show a menu of responses using the Response Buttons 1-3.

Thanks so much. This is great!

It works perfectly now. I guess I must have changed something in the Dialogue Manager Settings at some point, that's why I couldn't change the font in 'PC Subtitle' anymore.

Thanks for the amazing support and have a nice day
