I had not made any changes to the Dialogue System's UI & built the sample scene. Is there any way by which I could change the font sizes, and allow the canvas to scale as per screen sizes, leaving the panels & Entire UI intact?

I might require Text Fields, drop downs, date selection, etc. at certain instances! What should I do, in order to trigger a Text Field or other relevant UI components, after completion of a certain dialogue of NPC?

After the question has been asked by NPC, "What is your first name?", I should get a text field after completion of dialogue! And my target platform is mobile here, so when Text Field is instantiated, some custom placeholder text needs to be displayed, and the placeholder needs to be different for different textfields which would further be initiated in flow of conversation, & onscreen keyboard should open up when text field is touched, and should close, if tapped anywhere outside the area of keyboard. Also, the text field should be visible when player is typing, and might be pushed a bit upwards automatically, when onscreen keyboard pops up & pushed back down to it's normal position when keyboard closes.
Once player has typed & presses "OK" or "Done" or "Tick mark button, on android keyboard which is next to space bar", the conversation needs to progress to next line. Meanwhile, when onscreen keyboard is open & back button of Android OS is pressed, the keyboard should close, but the conversation should remain intact.
Also, I need to put up a condition, where in if player inputs nothing in the textfield or does not input anything when UI components are provided for input and presses "OK" or "Done", an alert or popup comes & the conversation should not proceed ahead, unless player provides required input.

1) I am not able to find a way of setting placeholder text, for different text fields.

• Dialogue Text: "Enter password:"
• Script: Variable["password"] = "*****";
• Sequence: TextInput(Text Field UI,Password,password)

bhavinsavajiyani wrote: ↑Mon Jul 27, 2020 3:21 pm4) How can I set a condition, to NOT allow player to proceed ahead, without providing required input, when text field is instantiated? Also, how can we trigger an alert-box/pop-up, when the player tries to proceed without providing any input?

using PixelCrushers.DialogueSystem;
...
string password = DialogueLua.GetVariable("password");
