Continue dialogue by Animator

[fanaei]

Hi
I wanted to know that how can I continue or change dialogue from Animator's animations?
(I prefer not to use Timeline)
I tried to use below code, but couldn't pass the dialogues by changing initialDialogueEntryID.

Code: Select all

DialogueManager.StartConversation (DialogueManager.MasterDatabase.GetConversation (ConversationId).Title, transform, NPCobj,DialogueId);

Also I had another question:
Is it possible to hide the Dialogue UI in the middle of an animation?
For example Player says something, then in the middle of conversation something happens and I don't want to show dialogue UI on that time, and then conversation continues.

Hi,

The Dialogue System is designed to go the other way. It runs the conversation and moves from node to node. Each node can run its own animation by using the Animation() or AnimatorPlay() sequencer command.

However, it's possible to make an animation control when the conversation continues to the next node. To do this, set the Dialogue Manager's Subtitle Settings > Continue Button mode to Always. In your animation, call the dialogue UI's OnContinue method.

Yes. Just deactivate the dialogue panel or play its Hide animation.

I'm using Dialogue UI as a prefab, so I don't know how to control the Continue Button or Hide the Dialogue panel!

I tried to use timeline, but using "start conversation clip" and changing Entry ID, doesn't change the dialogues automatically.

You can add an instance of the dialogue UI prefab to your scene. This way you can inspect the continue button and dialogue panel.

You can also control the continue button by using sequencer commands:

• Continue() simulates a continue button click. You can use it to advance the conversation.
• SetContinueMode(value) turns the continue button on and off.

I tried to use timeline, but using "start conversation clip" and changing Entry ID, doesn't change the dialogues automatically

This action tries to start a new conversation at that entry ID. Since a conversation is already active, it won't start the new one.

Let's step back. What do you want to accomplish? Maybe I can suggest the best way to accomplish it.

Thank you Tony.
Found the answer for both of my questions.
On Timeline Passed the dialogues by: PlaySequenceClip and Continue() command
And Hided the Dialogue panel by: PlaySequenceClip and AnimatorTrigger(Hide,Dialogue Panel) command

Hi,

I was just about to reply. I'm glad you found answers already.
