Play the speaker animation

Post by hrohibil »

Hey Tony


Two questions

1:
When I enter a conversation I want to Play the speaker animation?

2:
Can I control the closeup camera of the speaker? It’s to close I want a bit back

What kind of animation? An intro animation? Lipsync animation? In general, you'll use the Animator***() sequencer commands such as AnimatorPlay(). But if you're doing lipsync, it might be SALSA() or LipSync() or something similar.

Yes. You can define a new camera angle or adjust the existing Closeup angle. More info: Camera Angles

The Animator window shows that "convo" is the default animation state, so it should already be playing on FemaleGunSeller as soon as you start the scene. If it's not, then the problem is with the animation or the Animator, not with the Dialogue System.

Yes it is the default animation which runs in the beginning of the scene, but i have a trigger that disables the NPC gameobject if Player is not near it.

And the animation plays fine right up until the player starts the conversation, then NPC is just stationary

On your Dialogue System Trigger, is Actions > Start Conversation > Pause Game During Conversation ticked? If so, this will pause the game, including animations. You could set the NPC's Animator > Update Mode to Unscaled, but then it would animate whenever you pause the game, such as when you open a pause menu. Instead, it might be better to UNtick Pause Game During Conversation.

Tony I tested on a dialogue system trigger where I add the command in the add action then add a sequence, that worked.

But when I add the command inside a node in a conversation it does not.

During conversation I do want to pause game just not the NPC or maybe even another GameObject animation..

Hmm.

When you pause the game, it pauses the game -- including everything, except Animators whose Update Modes are set to Unscaled. You will need to choose whether you want to pause the game or change your Animator(s) to Unscaled.

Thank you.
Seems like un-scaled is the way to go here.
