Thanks for your hard work!

My pleasure! Some good things are coming in version 2.2.7, too: Addressables support and dialogue entry node UnityEvents that can operate on scene objects.

The customer download site has a preview package for dialogue entry node UnityEvents that operate on scene objects for anyone who'd like to try it out. (If you need access to the customer download site, please PM me your Asset Store invoice number.) I'll try to have a similar preview package for addressables support by the end of next week.

Whoa!

" dialogue entry node UnityEvents that can operate on scene objects."

Can't wait! No more criptic SendMessage codes. The other members of my team will be thrilled!
