(Unity Vers. 2019.3) Odd Visual Glitch

Hello to whom it may concern,

I've been using Pixelcrushers' dialogue system for a little over a year now, and love the software. However, I've recently came across a glitch that has rendered my dialogue choices unreadable in the editor. The dialogue tree has been replaced with black boxes.

Kind regards,
Matthew

Hi Matthew,

In Dialogue System version 2.2.4, the node colors are darker than normal when using the Unity Editor's Pro (dark mode) skin. But not so dark that they're completely unreadable, just annoyingly dark. Version 2.2.5 will fix the colors in Pro mode.

However, I suspect what may be happening is that your actors are using custom colors with an alpha value equal to zero. In the Dialogue Editor, inspect each actor. Untick 'Custom Node Color'.

This issue most often happens if a Node Color field is added to the actor template (on the Dialogue Editor's Templates tab) and is left blank. In this case, you can remove the Node Color field from the actor template to prevent new actors from inheriting an invisible node color from the template.
