Issues Integrating Dialogue System with New Input System and Third Person Controller

[branvan3000]

Hi, I'm trying to use the dialogue system with the new input system and the starter pack third person controller.

Following the youtube Tutorial but ...

I'm afraid I'm getting this error :

Assets/StarterAssets/InputSystem/StarterAssets.cs(18,22): error CS0101: The namespace '<global namespace>' already contains a definition for 'StarterAssets'

I am very interested if there was a version that works directly with the new input system, someday it will be like that?

Thank you very much!!!

Hi,

That looks like an issue between the Input System package and the Starter Assets, not the Dialogue System.

This video explains how to set up the Input System with the Dialogue System. The nature of the Input System is such that there will always be some amount of configuration required regardless of what asset you're integrating it with. For the most part, to integrate with the Dialogue System you mostly just need to tick the USE_NEW_INPUT checkbox in the Welcome Window.

Thank you very much! Normally the third person starter pack system is very useful and works super well, so having it linked to the dialogue system would be great.

Unfortunately even if I start a project from scratch I always get the same error.

Do you know where I could investigate further?

Hi,

Which versions of Unity and the Starter Assets are you using? Are you using the old Starter Assets: ThirdPerson or the current Starter Assets: Character Controller URP?

I imported the Input System (1.7.0), Start Assets: Character Controller URP (1.1.0), and Dialogue System (2.2.47) into a Unity 2022.3 URP project, and there are no errors.
