There maybe chances that I use a coroutine in StandardUIMenuPanel in the future, so I think it is still needed to add a ref of the Record to Response just in case.

About the Sequencer. Earlier I said I thought about making my own sequence manager by creating a new sequencer in Sequencer command. I will need a ref of Record in the new sequencer to control it, and I want to pass the ref by the conversation sequencer. So I personally need a ref of the Record in Sequencer.

I'll look into that to make sure there won't be any issues with adding it to the sequencer.

In the meantime, if you use a coroutine in StandardUIMenuPanel, just record DialogueManager.instance.activeConversation at the beginning of the coroutine.

Hi,

Today I tried to import Nlua, But there are errors in DialogueSystemSaver and PersistentDataManager. It seems there are several methods that is missing in Nlua's wrapper. Did I miss some steps?

Since so many optimizations were added for LuaInterpreter, NLua is no longer supported and will be removed in an upcoming release.

Is it still able to use other Lua Implementations as said in the manual?

Yes, with some work. But I'm planning to remove that ability. Is there a reason you want to use another implementation?

I have to say the performance of Lua Interpreter is a little low. When Evaluatelinks, it will cost 20kb gc and 1 ms for each link. But I tried a Implementation called "Xlua", for just running a line of lua code, and it is far more performant. I don't know if it will be different if I inplement it to the dialogue system, so I wanted to try Nlua to have a comparison.

I'll take a look tomorrow at what needs to be done to make it easier to enable NLua again. Edit: It should be a relatively quick update tomorrow. There's just a few things in one script (PersistentDataManager) that I'll update tomorrow to make it so you don't have to touch any code to enable NLua support.

Hi,

Here's the patch. It's just 1 file.

DS_NLuaPatch_2021-03-21.unitypackage

Here are the setup steps, which I'll update in version 2.2.16's documentation, too.

(Import the patch first.)

1. Download the Lua 5.4 binaries: http://luabinaries.sourceforge.net/download.html

• Put them in Plugins/x86_64/, etc.

2. Download KeraLua: https://github.com/NLua/KeraLua

• Add the 'src' folder to your project, somewhere in the Plugins folder, such as Assets/Plugins/KeraLua/src
• Delete the Properties subfolder.

3. Download NLua: https://github.com/NLua/NLua

• Add the 'src' folder to your project, somewhere in the Plugins folder, such as Assets/Plugins/NLua/src
• Delete the Properties subfolder.

4. Select menu item Edit > Project Settings. In the Player section, add these symbols to Scripting Define Symbols:

Great! Now the Evaluatelinks is 10x times faster and gc become 1/10, too
