MessageSystem "Send Message" LUA function in Dialogue?

[mroshaw]

Hi again!

I was wondering if there's a way to send a message using the MessageSystem, directly within Dialog? I'd like to send a message if a particular dialogue node is reached during a conversation, as I have a listener Component waiting for such a message to enable and spawn various collectable prefabs.

Many thanks again for your help!

Hi,

Add a CommonLibraryLua component to your Dialogue Manager. This will make these Lua functions available:

• SendMessageSystem("message", "parameter");
• SendMessageSystemString("message", "parameter", "value");
• SendMessageSystemInt("message", "parameter", (int)value);

You can use those Lua functions in a dialogue entry's Script field.
