Continue Button hide after Response Menu

Post by tomraegan »

Hi Tony,

Well done on such a professional setup...assets and support. Very cool.

I need to hide the Continue Button after a Player Response Menu. There's a "Not Before Response Menu,", but I need a "Not After Response Menu".

The reason is simple enough....normally the only player action in dialogue is hitting continue.. When they do get the chance to make a Response Menu selection, there should be no Continue button afterwards as the Menu Response selection is the action.

I've searched the forums without success...it's probably already in the asset, but I haven't found it.

Many thanks for your help.

Hi,

Try unticking the Dialogue Manager GameObject's Display Settings > Subtitle Settings > Show PC Subtitles During Line or ticking Skip PC Subtitle After Response Menu.

Related details here: How To: Bypass Response Menu When Player Has One Choice

Say you have a conversation that looks like this:

With the default Dialogue System values, when the player clicks one of the responses in the response menu ("Fantastic" or "Been better"), it should not show that as a subtitle, so it should not show a continue button. It should advance directly to the NPC's reply ("Great" or "Sorry").

If you've ticked Show PC Subtitles During Line and unticked Skip PC Subtitle After Response Menu, it will show the response the player clicked as a subtitle and wait for a continue button click. Note: If the response dialogue entry has Menu Text and Dialogue Text, it will show the Menu Text in the response menu and Dialogue Text in the subtitle panel.

Thanks.

That helps. I've left the following settings:

Continue Button - Always
Show PC Subtitles During Line - Ticked
Skipped PC Subtitle After Response Menu - Unticked

The Continue Button does not show after the player selects their option, which is what I wanted.

Unfortunately, the player's response does not show up in the scrollview after they've made their selection. Is there any way to disable the Continue Button but enable Subtitles being added to the scrollview (I'm using a variation of Runic)?

Hi,

Try these settings:
  • Continue Button dropdown: Not For PC (list of all options)
  • Show PC Subtitles During Line: ticked
  • Skip PC Subtitle After Response Menu: UNticked

This suggestion led me in the right direction.

Turns out the final piece of the puzzle was ticking "Always Force Respond Menu".

Now it's as I wanted. Thanks!
