How To Track Selected Options?

[caltaylor101]

Hello,

I'm using Dialogue System for Unity and would like to track which dialogue options a player has previously selected. Specifically, if a player chooses one of three options (e.g., Option 1), I want that option to present new dialogue the next time the conversation occurs. What is the recommended approach to implement this functionality within the system?

Thank you for your assistance.

Hi,

SimStatus is designed specifically for things like this.

Here's an example:

The first time this conversation runs, the first response menu option will be "Not much" because entry [5] hasn't been displayed (i.e., clicked on) yet. If the player chooses this menu option, then the next time the conversation runs, the first response menu option will be "Nothin'".

Note that both of these options are linked from a Group node, which is a node whose Group checkbox is ticked. Group nodes are just pass-throughs. They'll never appear as subtitles or response menu options.

Perfect, exactly what I needed! Thank you so much!
