Hey Tony
Haven't yet cracked open the source code so would you mind letting me know how to send an Open message through the sequencer to Dialogue System's UIPanel component?
I tried this "SendMessage(Open,,UIPanelX)" but it's not working.
Thanks in advance,
Nathan

Hi Nathan,
You may need to activate the GameObject first, since SendMessage() doesn't work on inactive GameObjects. Try something like this:
Code: Select all
SetActive(UIPanelX);
SendMessage(Open,,UIPanelX)

Hey again,
Hopefully this is a quick answer.
I'm still a little vague about how Show Animation Trigger and Hide Animation Trigger work. Do they apply to the Canvas group component attached to the canvas of whichever component they belong to?
I just made a new Canvas and added a panel with a UIPanel component. When I open the UI panel I get this yellow flag:
Code: Select all
Parameter 'Show' does not exist.

I tried adding a Canvas Group to the Parent canvas but the message was not resolved.
is there something else I need to do to get the animations to work?
Thanks again,
Nathan

Add an Animator to the panel, and assign an animator controller asset such as Dialogue System / Prefabs / Art / Animation / Canvas Group Animator / Canvas Group Animator Controller.
Or, if you don't want it to fade in & out, and you just want it to immediately appear & disappear, you can remove the Animator component and clear the UI Panel's Show Animation Trigger and Hide Animation Trigger fields.
