Response Menu Panel Custom OnOpen

[PayasoPrince]

Input Device is set to joystick in Input Device Manager.

You can disregard the second part about the color press, just thought it might be relevant

What's the current issue then?

[PayasoPrince]

The current issue is even though I have "Always Auto Focus" ticked, the currentSelectedGameObject is my Fastforward/Continue button in the NPC Panel and not the response button in the first response panel.

I just took another look at your code excerpt. That makes sense, since Start() runs only once when the response button is first created. To prevent garbage allocations, the dialogue UI pools response buttons and re-uses them. However, you won't want to use OnEnable() directly because this will run as soon as the button is pulled out of the pool and re-enabled, but before it's selected. Instead, you'll need to wait until the end of the frame. Something like this:

Code: Select all

void OnEnable()
{
    StartCoroutine(OnEnableCoroutine());
}
IEnumerator OnEnableCoroutine()
{
    yield return new WaitForEndOfFrame();
    if (EventSystem.current.currentSelectedGameObject)
    {
        ...
    }
}

Just tried your change. Progress?

currentSelectedGameObject is now my Continue Button. It was previously the FastForward Button.

Still not quite there yet...

I'm still not clear on what your intent is, but you could make it wait until the next frame by changing the yield line to:

Code: Select all

yield return null;

All I wanted to do was create my own cursor (like an arrow), that get's created next to the first highlighted response button.

you could make it wait until the next frame by changing the yield line to:

Code: Select all

yield return null;

This did it! CurrentSelected is now the highlighted response.

From there, I added:

Code: Select all

public void Update()
    {   
        if(choiceSelector != null)
        {
            choiceSelector.transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x, EventSystem.current.currentSelectedGameObject.transform.position.y - 30, transform.position.z);

        }
    }

It now follows the player's highlighted response button. Thanks!

Great! I'm glad you got it working the way you want.
