articy response re-ordering

Post by Arcanor »

In ChatMapper, I can use the "Reorder Node Left" and "Reorder Node Right" functions to change the order of responses. How can I do this using articy?

I realize I can explicitly give numbers to each response, but I am hoping there's a way that I wouldn't need to do this.

Also, I just want to mention that currently if I use the tag "[position 1]" it places a response in the 2nd position. I have to use "[position 0]" to make the response first in the list. The documentation isn't really clear on this, but I am guessing you probably intended it to be a "1-based" list, rather than a "0-based" list?

That's a good question. I'll have to ask Nevigo and get back to you. If there's no built-in way in articy, I'll implement something in the converter.

It's intentionally 0-based so it aligns with the dialogue UI's Buttons list. I'll make sure this is documented in the next version of the documentation.

I just heard back from Nevigo. Response ordering is specified by the vertical position of the dialogue fragments on the canvas. In articy's simulation mode, if you want a response to appear first in the menu, move it higher than all the other responses.

I'll implement the same in the Dialogue System's articy converter and try to have a patch ready tomorrow.
