How to talk to myself(player)

Post by aaajiao »

How to talk to myself(player), I want to talk to myself at the end of a conversation, but I need to use PC Subtitle, not Respond.

:shock:

Now it still calls NPC Subtitle to display.
I don't know how to set it up to show up in PC Subtitle.

Hi,

Make sure the player is one of the conversation participants:

Set the node's Actor to the Player. (See the blue nodes below.)

Inspect the Dialogue Manager GameObject, and tick Subtitle Settings > Show PC Subtitles During Line:

If a node links to more than one player node (blue node), it will always show a response menu.

If it only links to one player node, then:
  • If the Dialogue Manager's Input Settings > Always Force Response Menu is ticked, it will always show the response menu unless you include the markup tag "[auto]". (See the second blue node in the image above.) If the node has "[auto]", it will play as a subtitle.
  • If Always Force Response Menu is unticked, then it will show the node as a subtitle. If you want to force a single node to show as a response menu, include the "[f]" tag (force menu).

Learned a lot, so touched, I actually tried a lot of methods, I really didn't see it!

Thanks for the patience Tony, I've made notes of your response already.
