Runtime database not showing choices

[WarriorDogDev]

I'm planning on having dynamic choices that will redirect to other dialogues (each choice will be an NPC in a location that the player can interact with). I've created a runtime database with dialogue entries with the player as the actor, but when I execute the function, the dialogue only shows the last dialogue entry as normal text, not as a choice.

When I try to play the runtime dialogue in the master dialogue view, only the first choice is shown, but as a choice and not as a normal text (the first dialogue entry is blue and the second is gray).And then, when I click on the second dialogue entry in the editor (it changes from gray to blue) and try to play the dialogue again, both choices are displayed.

Code: Select all

  public void GenerateActorSelection()
  {
    var database = ScriptableObject.CreateInstance<DialogueDatabase>();
    var template = Template.FromDefault();

    // Create conversation
    //int conversationId = template.GetNextConversationID(database);
    int conversationId = 1000;
    var conversationTitle = "Choices";
    var conversation = template.CreateConversation(conversationId, conversationTitle);
    conversation.ActorID = 1;
    database.conversations.Add(conversation);

    // START node
    var startNode = template.CreateDialogueEntry(0, conversation.id, "START");
    startNode.Sequence = "None()";
    conversation.dialogueEntries.Add(startNode);

    // Dialogue nodes
    var choice1 = template.CreateDialogueEntry(1, conversation.id, string.Empty);
    choice1.ActorID = 1;
    conversation.ConversantID = 1;
    choice1.DialogueText = "Choice 1";
    conversation.dialogueEntries.Add(choice1);

    // Dialogue nodes
    var choice2 = template.CreateDialogueEntry(2, conversation.id, string.Empty);
    choice1.ActorID = 1;
    conversation.ConversantID = 1;
    choice2.DialogueText = "Choice 2";
    conversation.dialogueEntries.Add(choice2);

    // Link from START to Choice 1
    var link = new Link(conversation.id, startNode.id, conversation.id, choice1.id);
    startNode.outgoingLinks.Add(link);

    // Link from START to Choice 2
    var link2 = new Link(conversation.id, startNode.id, conversation.id, choice2.id);
    startNode.outgoingLinks.Add(link2);

    DialogueManager.AddDatabase(database);
    DialogueManager.StartConversation("Choices");
  }

Hi,

I think there's a typo in this code:

Code: Select all

// Dialogue nodes
var choice2 = template.CreateDialogueEntry(2, conversation.id, string.Empty);
choice1.ActorID = 1;
conversation.ConversantID = 1;
choice2.DialogueText = "Choice 2";
conversation.dialogueEntries.Add(choice2);

The second line there should probably be:

Code: Select all

choice2.ActorID = 1;

Man, I can't believe I went through all this trouble because of this
Thanks a lot! It's working like it should now.
