Doesn't work. It still skips Player dialogue lines.

Ok, I'll check it with the VN framework and let you know what I find.

If you're testing the Backtracking example scene, you'll need to inspect the Dialogue Manager, tick Subtitle Settings > Show PC Subtitles During Line, and untick Skip PC Subtitle After Response Menu. Otherwise the PC won't actually say lines as subtitles, so there won't be any PC subtitles to backtrack to.

Tried with the option ticked off and on. Same result. Player line is always skipped

Did you also untick the "Backtrack to last NPC line" checkbox where your backtrack button calls the Backtracker.Backtrack method? Here's an example of backtracking to the PC line:



Sorry about the blurriness. I recorded it at my native resolution, and Youtube downscaled it like crazy.

Oh. I was ticking the wrong box (I was ticking off the Debug one in the Backtrack component). I'm so sorry for wasting your time.

I hope what I'm doing with the VN template isn't as stupid as this

No worries; there's a lot of checkboxes. I actually ticked the wrong one myself the first time. :-)
