I would like to create a new Dialogue UI to have multiple NPC positions. The ideal thing would be to set up a variable or something in the proper db and then have it. Where should I start? Any suggestion?

Hi,

Each NPC position is called a subtitle panel. The prefabs generally have one NPC subtitle panel and one PC subtitle panel. You may want to start with a prefab, such as the Basic Standard Dialogue UI. Copy the NPC subtitle panel, move the copy where you want, and assign it to the dialogue UI's Standard Dialogue UI component > Conversation UI Elements > Subtitle Panels list. It will have an element number (0, 1, 2, etc.). This is its panel number.

If you want an NPC to use a different NPC subtitle panel, add a Dialogue Actor component to the NPC's GameObject. Set Dialogue UI Settings > Subtitle Panel Number to the panel number.

You can also use a specific panel for a single dialogue entry by adding a [panel=#] markup tag to the entry's Dialogue Text.

If you want to change an NPC's panel for the duration of the conversation, use the SetPanel() sequencer command.

it works! thank you very much for the quick answer.

You're welcome! Happy to help.
