Keeping only selected PC response button

[OceaneM]

Hello there,
I'm trying to create my own implementation of VR Dialogue UI.
For now I have a NPC Subtitle Panel that appears next to the NPC head.
And I also have 3 buttons for the PC responses in worldspace. For now when the player selects a response, all the buttons disappear. I would like the selected response to stay (during the audio) while the other buttons fade away.

How could I do that? I checked "Allow PC Subtitle Reminders" but I believe it would use the same UI component to display the PC subtitle, while I would like to use the selected button (which can be either of the 3)

Thank you

Hi,

You'll need to do a little coding to change the menu panel's behavior in this way.

Make a subclass of StandardUIMenuPanel that overrides the HideResponses(). Something like this, which assume you're using buttons instantiated from the menu panel's Button Template:

Code: Select all

using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine;
using PixelCrushers.DialogueSystem;

public class ShowChoiceDialogueUI : StandardDialogueUI
{
    public override void OnClick(object data)
    {
        base.OnClick(data);
        HideAllResponseButtonsExcept(data as Response);
    }

    protected void HideAllResponseButtonsExcept(Response response)
    {
        foreach (var button in conversationUIElements.defaultMenuPanel.instantiatedButtons)
        {
            var responseButton = button.GetComponent<StandardUIResponseButton>();
            responseButton.gameObject.SetActive(responseButton.response == response);
        }
    }

    public override void HideResponses()
    {
        //--- Don't hide responses yet: base.HideResponses();
    }

    public override void ShowSubtitle(Subtitle subtitle)
    {
        HideResponses();
        base.ShowSubtitle(subtitle);
    }

    public override void Close()
    {
        base.HideResponses();
        base.Close();
    }
}

If you're using buttons assigned to the menu panel's Buttons list, you'll need to adjust the HideAllResponseButtonsExcept() method.

This is working perfectly, thank you for this quick reply!
