Version 2.2.7 of the Dialogue System for Unity is now available on the Unity Asset Store!

This is a huge update. Some of the highlights are:

• Scene events. Dialogue entry nodes now support UnityEvents that you can hook up to scene objects.
• Addressables support. No need to do anything special. Just tick the "Addressables" checkbox in the Dialogue System's Welcome window. Sequencer commands such as AudioWait() will automatically use addressables if they exist.
• Ink support. Major improvements to the Ink integration. This update also includes updated Twine import.
• Sequence, Conditions, & Script icons. Dialogue entry nodes now show icons so you can quickly see which ones have Sequences, Conditions, or Scripts:

  If you hover the mouse over an icon, a tooltip shows you the content; no need to inspect the node in the Inspector view to see it. (Thanks go to @digiwombat for this and a bunch of other UI suggestions.)

Hello Tony:

I've been attempting to get Dialogue System 2.2.9 to run with the most recent version of the Ultimate Character Controller (2.2.5). I followed the directions on: https://www.pixelcrushers.com/dialogue_ ... l/ucc.html
but I'm getting three errors when loading DS 2.2.9 and UCC 2.2.5. Here are the errors:

Assets/Pixel Crushers/Common/Third Party Support/Opsive UCC Support/Scripts/UCCSaver.cs(319,46): error CS1503: Argument 1: cannot convert from 'Opsive.UltimateCharacterController.Inventory.ItemType' to 'int'

Assets/Pixel Crushers/Common/Third Party Support/Opsive UCC Support/Scripts/UCCSaver.cs(319,56): error CS1503: Argument 2: cannot convert from 'int' to 'Opsive.Shared.Inventory.IItemIdentifier'

Assets/Pixel Crushers/Dialogue System/Third Party Support/Opsive UCC Support/Scripts/Lua/UCCLua.cs(299,47): error CS1501: No overload for method 'RemoveItem' takes 4 arguments

Are there any solutions that I have missed about how to correct these problems?

Thanks

John

Hi John,

Are you using the latest Dialogue System integration currently hosted on Opsive's site?

Hi Tony:

Yes, the download from the opsive site was the one that I used. I got it from this URL below and selected for the UCC (which I updated first).

https://opsive.com/support/documentatio ... ue-system/

I have tried twice now (starting over) and have gotten the three errors each time.

Thanks ... I look forward to your advice....

John

p.s. I have Unity 2020.1.2.f1, running MacBook Pro (all updated), dialogue system 2.2.9, UUC: 2.2.5, behavior designer: 1.6.5

It turns out that UCC 2.2.5 may also need an integration update. If so, I'll update it today, post it here, and send it to Opsive for their site.

Here's the patch:

PixelCrushers_UCCSaverPatch_2020-08-20.unitypackage

Hi Tony:

I loaded the patch, but no joy yet. Now rather than three errors I have four..... I'm hoping you can find the problem....

Thanks,

John

p.s. here are the errors from the console:

Hi,

Are you sure you're using UCC 2.2.5? Try downloading and importing the latest Dialogue System integration package from Opsive's site. They updated it this morning.

Thanks Tony:

You were right - I had an earlier version of ucc loaded - I had download and imported, but somehow, the update didn't work.

It now looks like most things are loading just fine (UCC, dialogue system, Behavior designer) but I am now getting error with the Ink Support in the Dialogue System.

The 5 errors I get are from the Ink Support scripts: ....error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Story' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

This sounds like a simple error - how do I fix that? Maybe there is a new Ink script update somewhere......?

'Story' is part of the Ink integration. It sounds like maybe you need to import Inkle's Ink Integration in to the project.
