How to check if Conversation Node Sequencer ended

[Saper]

Hi Tony

I have question how to check if Sequencer ended in Conversation Node. I need to start something on start of Dialogue window but not before Sequencer.

Hi,

You can do that right in the sequence. For example, if the first node is something like:

• Dialogue Text: (blank)
• Sequence:

  Code: Select all

  SetDialoguePanel(false, immediate); // Hide the dialogue UI
  Fade(stay, 1); // Fade out over 1 second
  Audio(trumpet)@1; // Play trumpet audio clip at 1-second mark
  Fade(in)@2; // Fade in at 2-second mark
  SendMessage(Ready,,speaker)@3; // Call Ready() method on speaker GameObject at 3-second mark

Then it will call the Ready() method on the C# script(s) on the speaker GameObject.

Alternatively, you can run a sequencer command, Lua function (in the Script field) or a scene UnityEvent in the next node.

Otherwise, if you want to know when sequences are done in conversations:

• Tick the Dialogue Manager's Display Settings > Subtitle Settings > Inform Sequence Start And End.
• Add an OnSequenceEnd(Transform) method to your Dialogue Manager.

Hi Tony

If i understand I need to edit Class DialogueManager and add to it method OnSequenceEnd(Transform), yes?

[Tony Li]

No - there's never a need to directly modify any Dialogue System scripts.

Make your own script, add it to the Dialogue Manager GameObject, and put the OnSequenceEnd method in your script.

Hi Tony

In new script I created method OnSequenceEnd(Transform), and this method is Invoke two times:
- before dialoge window is visible
- and few seconds after

It looks like this method is invoke at the Start and at the end of sequence.

The first time may be from the <START> node.
