Hi,

In the first scene, I have planned that the same NPC could say two different conversations at different points.

While the scene is active, can you switch the Dialogue System Trigger -> Actions -> Conversation to another one when it has finished?

Thanks!

Hi,

You could do that with a script, but I recommend this solution instead: Define a variable that you can check to know which conversation to play. Add two Dialogue System Triggers. In the Condition sections, check the variable.

I just noticed that this question is very similar to my question: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=1770

I can accept this solution if there are two dialogs, but what if the NPC has +/- 20 dialogs? It seems quite complex to add multiple triggers...

Hi,

In that case, use a single Dialogue System Trigger that starts a "hub" conversation. Use cross-conversation links in the hub conversation to link to each of the 20 conversations. Add a condition to the first node of each conversation so that only one is true at any given time. I actually prefer this because it keeps all the logic in one place (the dialogue database).

Thanks for your answer!

You're welcome!

Hi,

I want to return to this post as I have a doubt.

What about If I want to maintain that same logic, but now with the bark dialogues? It won't be a problem If there is only a node connected to the Start node of a conversation. However, If a bark conversation has 2 or more dialogue nodes connected to the Start node (the idea is to randomly bark one of those)... Which position should I pick as the start node? (look spoiler image)

Spoiler

If I pick "0: <START>", it doesn't spawn a bark. If I pick the number 1, it always shows the first even having inside the Dialogue System Trigger -> Bark Order -> Random, and the same if I pick number 2.

What should I do in that case?

Thanks!

Hi,

Link from <START> to a Group node. Then link the Group node to the actual text nodes (Sigo esperando... and Continue...).

In your hub conversation, link to the Group node.

Hi,

Oh, fantastic! It worked!

Thanks!
