Dialogue System for Unity 1.7.4 Released

[Tony Li]

Version 1.7.4 is now available on the Pixel Crushers customer download site (PM me your Unity Asset Store invoice number if you need access) and should be on the Asset Store in 5-10 business days.

This version adds Cinemachine and Timeline Support, a bunch of nice dialogue editor enhancements, and updates to several third party support packages. The Timeline support is pretty cool because you can bind objects at runtime. So you can create, for example, a Dance timeline and assign any two characters to dance at runtime.


Version 1.7.4
Core

• Added: Cinemachine and Timeline Support (Unity 2017.1+).
• Dialogue Editor:
  • Added menu item Sort > Reorder IDs.
  • Added menu items Show > Show Participants, Show > Show Full Text On Hover.
  • Added editor setting Show Database Name (available on Database tab).
  • Remembers node editor’s scroll position and zoom level for each conversation.
  • Handles ampersand (&) more gracefully in node editor dropdown menu.

Just amazing, Timeline+Cinemachine is just a great tool, from what I've seen you pretty much assign a virtual camera to the target and add the priority script to use the camera attached to it ?

Too many posibilities here.

Pretty much. That's the easiest way to use Cinemachine. In the example scene, Private Hart and Dead Guard do this. I set up virtual cameras for each that frame the NPC and the player, regardless of where they're positioned. The priority script activates that virtual camera while the conversation is active.

Hi Tony,

this thread is from 8 days ago, but the asset store still has 1.7.3

Any idea what's going on here?

[Tony Li]

I asked the Asset Store folks same thing yesterday. I hope to hear back from them today. A lot of publishers have been reporting extra long wait times this month. In the meantime, if you'd like to download 1.7.4 and don't have access to the Pixel Crushers customer download site yet, please PM me your Asset Store invoice number.

[Tony Li]

phpBB is weird. Outbox means it's been sent but the recipient hasn't read it yet. I read it and sent you your access info.
