For making virtual messenger dialogue..?

Post by Yob »

Hi! How are you?
I am developing a game which is talking to friends in virtual messenger. i am little confused how to use dialogue system for unityin my situation.

I will write a dialogue in xml.

My game ui looks like real mobile texting sms. Also virtual friends send a message to users so i want user to feel like texting to a real friend .

Here i have a problem,
1. How can i seperate the dialogue by person ( my message is on the left side, the counterpart's on the right side.)
2. Dialogue record should not deleted.
How can users see all the past dialogue by scrolling in the scene.(like our real sms system)
3. Also messages appear automatically from bottom. So instantiate dialogue box.

I am sorry for tricky questions. But i could not find out which functions and features are proper for this. :cry:
Even if you know just part of thses, please let me know.
Thanks!!!!!

Hi,

Download the Textline project from the Dialogue System Extras page. [direct link]

It's a starter kit for exactly this type of game.

Hi,

You don't need to do any programming. I'll put together some brief instructions and update the Textline package. You should also download and import the Menu Framework, which is the download button above Textline. I'll post back here soon to let you know the package has been updated.

Okay, the Textline download button has been updated with a new version that contains basic instructions.

If you haven't already watched the Ultra Quick Start tutorial, I recommend watching it first.

If you decide to customize the UI, I also recommend watching the Unity UI Dialogue UI tutorial when you get to that point. (It's step #7 in the Textline documentation.)
