Continue button not working

Post by allen »

Hi everyone, I have a custom UI dialogue for my dialogues. I made it following the official online tutorial on YouTube. I have a problem with the continue button though. I can't make it to work. I am using a controller and I want to continue to the next dialogue when I press the X button. I have a simple dialogue with two lines in my database. I will include in this post some screenshots to be as clear as possible.
The first screenshot shows my dialogue game objects.
I am using a subtitle panel and with a continue button and a TMP text.
When I press the continue button in my scene, I see that the button gets disabled but the dialogue does not continue.
Am I missing something? I'm not sure how to fix this and what could be the problem.

Hi,

Are there any errors or warnings in the Console window?

Make sure the continue button's StandardUIContinueButtonFastForward > Dialogue UI points to the correct dialogue UI.

If you press the 'X' button before the text has finished typing, does it fast-forward the typewriter to the end?

I checked the Dialogue UI in the StandardUIContinueButtonFastForward from the inspector and it points to the right one, I just have one Dialogue UI in my scene. When I press X the dialogue fast forward correctly.

I can see three warnings in the console.
I don't want the player to select answers, so the NPC should simply continue to the next dialogue.

So the first X press fast-forwards the typewriter, but the second one doesn't advance the conversation to the next dialogue entry? Is that the case?

If so, please check the steps in How To: Set Up Continue Button Typewriter Fast Forward

If that doesn't help, feel free to send reproduction steps or a reproduction project to tony (at) pixelcrushers.com
