Request for Feature: Exit Node

Post by chud575 »

Howdy Tony,

Simple request, can you add an Exit node to complement your Start node, like how mecanim has?

Thanks

Hi,

Mecanim has Exit nodes because it has sub-state machines. The Dialogue System doesn't have sub-conversations, although you can cross-link conversations.

Would it be sufficient to create a new node titled 'Exit' and link the endpoints of your conversation tree to that node? I want to make sure I understand how you'd like it to work.

Well the reason I ask is precisely to avoid that solution. For example I have a convo with 7 different end points, so I have to link it 7 different times and if something changes I have to relink. But if that's the only way...

Thanks for clarifying. I'm just trying to get a clear understanding of what you're looking for. I'll look into this. It won't make it into the upcoming version 1.7.7 being released in a couple days, but if I can figure out a good way to implement this I'll add it to the next release.
