Conversant dialogue not showing

Post by scorpio66 »

Hi guys.

Sorry for such a stupid question, but I cannot see what I have done wrong.

Simple 2 person, 1 line each dialogue.

PLAYER SPEAKS shows up fine.

WHEN NPC ANSWERS, the dialogue doesn't show up.
I have run the scene with my conversation open, and it runs fine. The NPC line lights up green, but the line doesn't appear on the screen.

I'm sure its something silly, but I cant see it.
Can somebody put me right?

Regards Chris

Hi Chris,

Please inspect the Dialogue Manager GameObject. Make sure Display Settings > Subtitle Settings > Show NPC Subtitles During Line is ticked.

If that doesn't fix it, is it possible that the NPC actor's Is Player checkbox is ticked? If so, it will play through the PC subtitle panel -- but only if Subtitle Settings > Show PC Subtitles During Line is ticked. It's unticked by default,

If all that looks OK, check the NPC's GameObject. If it has a Dialogue Actor component, is it set to use a specific subtitle panel number? If so, make sure the corresponding subtitle panel actually exists and is visible.
