I have something like this above and want to complete the single player subtitle's latter part with the response that I have.'
What is best solution for it?

Hi,

You can define a custom Boolean field for your dialogue entries, such as "AddToNext". In the "I mean..." node, set the field to True.

Then add a script to the Dialogue Manager that has an OnConversationLine method. Something like:

Code: Select all

private string textToAdd = string.Empty;

void OnConversationLine(Subtitle subtitle)
{
    subtitle.formattedText.text = textToAdd + subtitle.formattedText.text;
    textToAdd = Field.LookupBool(subtitle.dialogueEntry.fields, "AddToNext") ? subtitle.formattedText.text : string.Empty;
}

This method will check if AddToNext is true. If so, it will remember the subtitle's text and add it to the next subtitle.

Hi,

Is it possible to add it to the previous one?
For instance,

"I mean.." actually stays longer than those 2 responses. After I click on either of that, it will change the previous node which is "I mean..." to "I mean.. you are fine".

Since the "I mean.." node disappear after those 2 responses disappear, it will be much natural for the conversation flow.

Here's a small example scene using the script above. It was made in Unity 2020.1.
