I cant figure out how to edit a couple things :(

[locksmitharmy]

It is probably simple and I am just ignorant, but here it is:

1: I dont want it to show the speakers name by each Subtitle Text, it is redundant for me
2: I never want it to say player in the Portrait Name, I only want it to show the person the player is talking to.

If these arent features outright, can you point me in the direction of the code that changes the Portrait Name aswell as the code that builds the Subtitle Text, I can fix it myself... I just cant find the code

Hi,

1: I dont want it to show the speakers name by each Subtitle Text, it is redundant for me

Inspect your dialogue UI's subtitle panel(s) and UNtick 'Add Speaker Name'.

2: I never want it to say player in the Portrait Name, I only want it to show the person the player is talking to.

Tick Only Show NPC Portraits.

Note: If unticking 'Add Speaker Name' doesn't get rid of the prepended name, check your characters' GameObjects for Dialogue Actor components. If 'Set Subtitle Color' is ticked on any Dialogue Actor components, untick Apply Color To Prepended Name.

You are a god among men, thank you so much!

[locksmitharmy]

So, I made those changes and the player name still shows up in the portrait name



The unticking of Add Speaker Name worked perfectly though, thank you

In your dialogue database, is your player actor's 'Is Player' checkbox ticked?

Does your dialogue UI have a single subtitle panel or multiple?

[locksmitharmy]

Yes, Player 'Is Player'

and I just have 1 subtitle panel

What does your conversation look like? In the Dialogue Editor, try setting the conversation's Actor to Player and Conversant to the NPC. Then make sure the dialogue entry nodes are assigned to the correct actors:

Also try assigning the first dialogue node to the NPC (like the screenshot above) if it's currently assigned to the player.

Im using this as a test dialog so I can figure out all the possible issues I may have:

[locksmitharmy]

Ive kinda given up on making the player name disapear, Im having it change color instead... tried following your advice on another thread where you made an OnConversationLine method. its working great for adding color to the subtitle by actor, but not the portrait name

it does sometimes, is there an event that fires when the portrait is changed i can listen for?

(sorry, its getting more and more complicated as I play with it, pretty awesome asset)

Hi,

The only other place I can think of that would make "Player" appear is the response menu. Check if the response menu's Standard UI Menu Panel component points to a PC Name field. If so, delete the PC Name GameObject, or unassign it from the PC Name field if it's the same text element as the subtitle panel's Portrait Name.

tried following your advice on another thread where you made an OnConversationLine method. its working great for adding color to the subtitle by actor, but not the portrait name

Instead of that script, add a Dialogue Actor to the character's GameObject. Set the Actor dropdown. Tick "Set Subtitle Color", and set the color there.

No, but you can make a subclass of StandardUISubtitlePanel. (See this post to replace the script in-place.) Override the SetPortraitImage() method. Something like:

Code: Select all

public class MySubtitlePanel : StandardUISubtitlePanel
{
    protected virtual void SetPortraitImage(Sprite sprite)
    {
        if (sprite != portraitImage.sprite)
        {
            Debug.Log("Hey! The portrait image is changing.");
        }
        base.SetPortraitImage(sprite);
    }
}
