This change will also be in version 2.2.14.

Does this also have the Override Display Setting residual on "Duplicate Conversation"?

I think Hide is now working perfectly but Show is called twice.
Once it is instantiated for the first time and also when the conversation start?

Nothing changed with instantiation. Make sure your UI's Animator doesn't try to play the Show animation as soon as it starts. For an example, see the Canvas Group Animator Controller. It's initial state is called Start. This state instantly keeps the panel hidden.

I meant, - "duplicate conversation" does not duplicate the Override Display Setting for the specific conversation. You've said that you will include it to duplicate the Override Display Setting for the next patch. I was curious if it is coming with the next patch.


For the animation controller- I will check now

are you stating this? I've tried all the options. no luck.

Here is the prefab of the SMS

I am using "SMS_Dialogue_Panel"'s Animator to control is CanvasGroup and position for Show/Hide animation.

Yes. It will be in the next version.

No, I mean make sure your animator controller's Default State (the state that is orange) keeps the dialogue UI hidden. The basic SMS Dialogue UI doesn't have an animator on the dialogue panel. But, for example, this is the animator controller on the Basic Standard Dialogue UI:

The "Start" state plays an animation clip called "Hidden" that immediately sets the Canvas Group's Alpha to zero.

When the Show trigger is set, the animator transitions to the "Show" state, which gradually increases the Alpha to 1.

Yes, I do have Default Anim State with only 1 frame animation that makes the canvas groups alpha 0.
However, literally, the "Show" trigger was triggered since the "Show" animation is played. Then it plays the "Show" conversation again as it starts the conversation.

What I have noticed is that, as I instantiate the Actor who overrides dialogue UI (SMS) in the scene (which I do when I load a scene), it creates the instance of the SMS dialogue UI prefab. Somehow it calls its "Show" without start me having it start the conversation. (I am starting a conversation - with out the Actor who override dialogue UI (SMS) though)
Is there an option/checkbox/flag I am not doing properly?

Hi,

It shouldn't set the Show trigger until a conversation starts and the panel's Open() method is called. Maybe in your animator controller the Show trigger is already ticked at design time?
