Hint shown when hovering

Post by GREI »

Hi,
I have followed the solution in the linked post to try to achieve showing hints when hovering the response text.
https://www.pixelcrushers.com/phpbb/vie ... a382615bb1

But so far the hint is not showing. Below is my own implementation.

Any help is much appreciated!

Hi,

I'm afraid your images didn't come through in your post.

The Dialogue System Extras page has a Hover Example (direct download) that may be helpful.

And I have looked through the example scene, it looks like I have the same setup.

Hi,

Does the included example scene work correctly? (Hover Response Button Example)

If so, can you identify what you might be doing differently? Did you modify the ActivateOnResponseHover script, other than changing "Description" to "Hint"?

Try adding a Debug.Log() line at the end of your OnHover method, something like:

Code: Select all

Debug.Log("HINT: " + Field.LookupValue(response.destinationEntry.fields, "Description"));
If you inspect the Tooltip Text GameObject after hovering a response button, does it have the hint text?

Are there any errors or warnings in the Console window?

No, the console does not say anything and the text in the tooltip text does not change. (i.e. it is always empty)
the code was not change except for the "hint" line of code.
Does ActivationOnResponseHover depend on any pre-requisites?

Hi,

Did you set up the Event Trigger component like on the example's response button template?

That is what I missed! It works now, thank you!
But I am having trouble parsing Lua code.

Hi,

What version of the Dialogue System are you using?

Is "NoticedFamiliarityWith27" a Boolean variable or a Text variable?
