Skipping dialogue temporarily

[Tony Li]

Hi,

This updated JRPG2 prefab has a continue button. It's also set up for gamepad/keyboard navigation, but it's not enabled. To enable navigation, add the prefab to the scene as a child of the Dialogue Manager, assign it to the Dialogue Manager's Dialogue UI field, and on the GameObject named Subpanel tick the Navigation > Enabled checkbox.

Alright, thanks a lot.

I installed the JRPG2 package you uploaded. That being said, I still can't figure out how to get it to continue on button press or having the dialogue selection react to keyboard or button press. I tried tinkering with it as well as following the documentation instructions on Continue Buttons as you previously posted.

To reiterate what I'm trying to do, I want a button press, in this instance Space bar, to act as an automatic continue button for the dialogue. I would also like to be able to toggle between dialogue choices with the up and down keys. How do I do this?

Ah, I see now about the spacebar. I'll put together an example scene that handles spacebar and up/down arrows and post it here later today.

Thank you. Much appreciated.

This version of the JRPG2 prefab should do what you're looking for. Keyboard/gamepad navigation is enabled, and the spacebar triggers the continue button. A few UI GameObjects had to be adjusted because legacy Unity GUI normally reserves the spacebar for clicking the currently-focused button. This version of the prefab correctly intercepts it for the continue button when applicable.

Oh my god, you are literally my hero! It works perfectly!

Your help with the dialogue system is such a huge help. Thank you for all that you've helped me with so far.
