Questions about custom GUI
Posted: Thu Feb 07, 2019 3:35 am
I want to completely customise how my dialogue box looks so I had a few questions
* I want my dialogue box to pop-in during the start of the conversation. Is there any event that fires when a conversation is started? (Is OnConversationStart the event I want? Also, should I attach Dialogue System Events to Dialogue Manager?)
* I want the player portrait to only be visible when the player is speaking. What's the best way to do it?
* I want all characters (NPC and players) to share just one subtitle panel/portrait space where the old portrait image is replaced everytime a new character speaks. What's the best way to achieve that?
* Right now every player line is a selectable choice. Is there a way to show this behaviour only when player has a choice? A workaround I found is to make a second player character as NPC.
* Is making continue button full screen with alpha zero still the best way to allow player to click anywhere on the screen to continue.
PS: For 2 and 3, is setting Default NPC subtitle and Default Player subtitle to the same subtitle panel the best way?
