DialogueManager.lastConversationStarted not returning active conversation name

[ershad]

Hello, im trying to get the name of the active conversation

Currently I have 2 conversations Untitled, Untitled 2 and my database is setup like

Untitled
links to
Untitled 2

When debugging DialogueManager.lastConversationStarted it always gives Untitled even if i have gone to next conversation.

Please help

Hi,

When an active conversation follows a cross-conversation link, it's still conceptually thought of as the same conversation, so DialogueManager.lastConversationStarted doesn't change.

To record the name of the conversation that you crossed into, add a script with an OnLinkedConversationStart() method, and check DialogueManager.currentConversationState.subtitle.dialogueEntry.conversationID. You'll typically add this script to the Dialogue Manager GameObject. Here's an example method:

Code: Select all

public void OnLinkedConversationStart(Transform actor)
{
    int conversationID = DialogueManager.currentConversationState.subtitle.dialogueEntry.conversationID;
    Conversation conversation = DialogueManager.masterDatabase.GetConversation(conversationID);
    Debug.Log("Crossed into: " + conversation.Title);
}

Thank you, that works perfectly

Glad to help!
