Response menu problem.

[Japtor]

Hi,

Inside the Response Menu Panel, I can move from one response button to another with the Keyboard. All those buttons have available the Transition -> Color tint mode (Highlighted, etc) to know which one is "selected".

The problem is... When I start using the mouse, the button selected with the keyboard keeps highlighted/selected. It doesn't even disappear when the mouse is on another response button (which makes both buttons to be in highlighted mode).

Any idea?
Thanks.

That's the way Unity UI works. You can change the behavior by adding this script to your response button(s).

UIHighlightFix.cs

Code: Select all

using UnityEngine;
using UnityEngine.EventSystems;
using UnityEngine.UI;

[RequireComponent(typeof(Selectable))]
public class UIHighlightFix : MonoBehaviour, IPointerEnterHandler, IDeselectHandler
{
    public void OnPointerEnter(PointerEventData eventData)
    {
        if (!EventSystem.current.alreadySelecting)
        {
            EventSystem.current.SetSelectedGameObject(this.gameObject);
        }
    }

    public void OnDeselect(BaseEventData eventData)
    {
        GetComponent<Selectable>().OnPointerExit(null);
    }
}

Thanks! Seems to work!

I use it everywhere, not just for Dialogue System UIs. It's based on an old script that's been floating around the web for years. Unfortunately I don't remember who originally posted it, so I can't credit them.

Another thing,

Is there a way to not lose the currently selected response button? If I click somewhere that is not the response button, the EventSystem switches to the first one, as inside the Standart UI Menu Panel -> Navigation -> First Selected I have assigned the first response button and inside UI Menu Panel -> Navigation -> Focus Check Frequency I have 0.2.

Thanks!

I'll add that in the next update. It will remember the most recently-selected button and re-select it instead of selecting the first one.

Thanks tony!
