"Search" in the Dialog System documentation only searches API / code

Post by mroshaw »

Hi again!

Just a quick one, promise! I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong, but I cannot seem to search the actual documentation from the Dialog System documentation pages: http://www.pixelcrushers.com/dialogue_s ... index.html.

The search control, top right, only seems to search code, not the actual content of the documentation. As all the docs are spread across many HTML pages, I can't use the browser find to look for what I'm after either.

Am I missing something? Is there a way to actually search through the documentation by keyword?

Thanks again!

Hi,

The online manual includes documentation and the API reference combined as a single resource. When you search for a keyword, it will show all matches in both the documentation and the API reference. The documentation keyword search admittedly isn't great. Try high level topics such as "localization" or "Twine". If you're not finding something, let me know. I can add keywords and point you to the right page(s).

Thanks Tony.

I was trying to find out about gamepad support. I have an "Input Device Manager" component on my Dialog Manager Game Object, but I'm unable to select conversation options in Dialogs, nor navigate through Quests in my Quest Machine Journal UI. The "select" button works, but nothing else does.

I was hoping to find something in the docs, to try to avoid bothering you yet again with more forum posts! :oops:

Thanks again!

Tick the Dialogue Manager GameObject's Input Device Manager component > Always Auto Focus. This will keep a UI button focused so you can navigate them.
