How to customize Subtitle Panel?

[Housein]

I want to Add a text field and a button for every subtitles. they could be shown/hidden by a toggle button in runtime.
Is it possible in Dialogue System?
Standard UI Subtitle Panel component has "Subtitle Text" Field in a wrapper class.
I wonder what is the best way to have and extra Text Field and a Button to subtitles and responds as well.
(I'm not sure if it's the right way to ask these kind of questions here)

Hi,

You can just add them to the subtitle panel and response menu panel. As long as they're a while of the panel, they'll appear when the panel is activated. You can set their values using OnConversationLine and OnConversationResponseMenu methods on the Dialogue Manager. (More info: Script Messages) Example:

Code: Select all

public class ExtraDialogueFields : MonoBehaviour
{
    public bool showExtraFields;
    public Text extraTextField;
    public Button extraButton;
    
    void OnConversationLine(Subtitle subtitle)
    {
        extraButton.gameObject.SetActive(extraButton);
        extraTextField.gameObject.SetActive(showExtraFields);
        extraTextField.text = "Subtitle length: " + subtitle.formattedText.text.Length);
    }
    
    void OnConversationResponseMenu(Response[] responses)
    {
        // (Maybe some similar code here)
    }
}

Alternatively, you can make a subclass of StandardUISubtitlePanel and StandardUIMenuPanel. Override their ShowSubtitle and ShowResponses methods. If you're using the evaluation version, the base class is in a DLL, but the API references are here:

• StandardUISubtitlePanel
• StandardUIMenuPanel
