My teacher suggested trying this system for it, so I'm trying to learn to use it, and it's really an amazing system! pretty much overkill for what I need right now. But since I'm still very new to programming, I'm really lost in what to do now, and can't quite piece together how to do what I need.

• If you're going to record a lot of information about Bob, you can record it in custom fields in Bob's actor definition (on the Actors tab). Or in more variables on the Variables tab. It's up to you. You can access actor fields as well as variables through the "..." dropdowns.
• You can link to other conversations. You could have a single starting conversation, a first time conversation, and a second time conversation. The starting conversation can link to the first time and second time conversation. To link to another conversation, inspect a node and in the Inspector's Link To: dropdown select "(Another Conversation)".
• You can group conversations into submenus by using forward slashes. For example: "Bob/Start", "Bob/First Time", "Bob/Second Time".
• Another way to do this is to add two Dialogue System Triggers, each with a Condition that checks the value of "metBob". This way you're checking the variable in the Dialogue System Trigger instead of the conversation. I prefer to keep all my logic contained inside the conversation, but this trick is something you might still want to be aware of.

So basically I would need the NPC to hand an item to the character after a certain dialogue, but I can't really find how to put that there... same for animations, I have some ready to make things like, when the NPC says "No" an animation of him shaking his head triggers, the same could work for dialogue.

public void TakeFromPlayer(string itemName)
{ // your code here
}

public void GiveToPlayer(string itemName)
{ // your code here
}

AnimatorPlayWait(ExtendHand, Bob);
SendMessage(TakeFromPlayer, Banana, Bob)

MoveItems("Player", "Bob", "Banana", 12)

So I guess a bool could work, when my character has that item, the bool is true and a new option appears in the conversation tree saying something like "give item" and that would move the story forward.

PlayerHasItem("Banana") == true

Are there any errors or warnings in the Console window?

Are you using a Selector, a Proximity Selector, or neither?

Have you assigned anything to the Dialogue Manager's Camera & Cutscene Settings > Sequencer Camera field?

In your conversation, or in the Dialogue Manager's Default Sequence field, are you using any Camera() sequencer commands?
