Hi,

Is there a way I could add a small delay to specific conversations? For example: Being near to the NPC, pressing the start dialogue button and, after one second, the conversation starts as normal.
If you're using Standard Dialogue UI, Unity UI Dialogue UI, or TextMesh Pro Dialogue UI, it will always show the Dialogue Panel. If you're using Standard Dialogue UI, inspect the subtitle panels. Make sure their Visibility is not set to
Always From Start. Then you can move your UI elements to the subtitle panels instead of the main dialogue panel.
Then set the first node's Dialogue Text to a blank string and the Sequence to: Delay(1)

Use a dialogue database variable, or a custom actor field. For example, you could define a Boolean variable "Talked_To_Bob". In the first node:
- Dialogue Text: (blank)
- Sequence: Delay(1)
- Conditions: Variable["Talked_To_Bob"] == false
- Script: Variable["Talked_To_Bob"] = true

You can check the variable "Talked_To_Bob":
Code: Select all
bool hasSomethingToSay = DialogueLua.GetVariable("Talked_To_Bob").AsBool == false;
Or you can check
DialogueManager.ConversationHasValidEntry():
Code: Select all
bool hasSomethingToSay = DialogueManager.ConversationHasValidEntry("Bob Conversation");
This may work better if your conversation defines a lot of complex conditions in order for it to start.
