Set up Response selection differently.

Post by DeidreReay »

1.) Is there a way to set up the dialouge system to respond with arrow keys and Enter? I swear i had it work once our twice previously but am not seeing an option for such.

2.) The NPC dialogue up top always disappears when the Players options (bottom) are available. Is there a way to allow the NPC subtitles to stay? (Using the changed letterbox you sent us few weeks back)

Thanks as always.

Inspect the Dialogue Manager GameObject. Tick the Input Device Manager component's Always Auto Focus checkbox.

Navigating with arrow keys or joysticks are the default behavior if the Input Device Manager's Input Device mode is Keyboard or Joystick, but if you move the mouse during play the Input Device Manager will switch the Input Device mode to Mouse. When in Mouse mode, if Always Auto Focus is not ticked then menus will not focus (select) a button so that you can navigate them with arrow keys.

Yes. Inspect your dialogue UI's NPC Subtitle Panel (in the Top Panel) and change the Standard UI Subtitle Panel component's Visibility dropdown to Always Once Shown.
