show last subtitle when response panel enabled

Post by Simon C »

Hi all,

I just started using Dialogue System for Unity today and having so many questions about its feature. Searching through the manual was not a good experience to me so I decided to post questions directly.

By default, when Player's line is enabled as response, I noticed that the subtitle panel won't continue showing the last line. Is there a way to let both the response panel and the last line show together at the same time?

For example:
NPC: Hi (this is the last line)
Player: Hello (this will show as response)
When "Hello" is on, "Hi" will disappear from the subtitle. Is there a way to keep the subtitle panel opening and "Hi" on the screen?

Any help is appreciated!

Hi,

The easiest way to do it is to make sure your subtitle panel is separate from your response menu panel (i.e., not overlapping), inspect your dialogue UI's subtitle panel, and change the Visibility to Always From Start, Always Once Shown, or Until Superceded:

You may prefer the dialogue UI video tutorials to the text manual.
