Capturing failed conversation request?

[LilGames]

Do you have a recommended or built-in way to capture a failed attempt to start a conversation? (Let's say the conversation doesn't exist in the database)

eg:
DialogueManager.StartConversation("no_such_conversation");

Right now it's an exception. Should I wrap the call in try-catch?

Hi,

It's not an actual exception; it's just a Debug.LogWarning() message.

You could check if a conversation is active:

Code: Select all

DialogueManager.StartConversation("no_such_conversation");
if (!DialogueManager.isConversationActive) Debug.Log("Failed to start conversation");

Or you could check if the conversation exists first:

Code: Select all

if (DialogueManager.masterDatabase.GetConversation("no_such_conversation"))
{
    DialogueManager.StartConversation("no_such_conversation");
}

You always have a solution! Awesome!
