Can´t select player´s dialogue option

[sofia_sbr]

Hey peeps,
I don´t know what happened, but I wanted to place my player in a new scene.
I did everything the same way in the previous scene regarding NPC setup + dialogue.

But now when I start a conversation, the dialogues option for the player show and the cursor as well.
But when I click on either of them nothing happens? The convo doesn´t transition to the next dialogue line (picture as ref):


Anybody know what I´m doing wrong? I got an event system in my UI, I checked that both NPC and player have their dialogue actor component.

Hi,

Keep an Inspector view on the EventSystem as you play. When the response menu appears, mouse over a response button. Check if the EventSystem detects the response button.

If not, check these things:

• If another UI element (even a transparent one) "on top" of the response button, blocking it?
• Is the Canvas's Graphic Raycaster component enabled?
• Try ticking the EventSystem's Standalone Input Module's Force Module Active checkbox.
• Are there any errors or warnings the Console?

Hello Tony,

I have an UI element (black screen for fade in and out transitions for timeline), but it´s disabled during normal gameplay. Would it still block it in that case?

The Canvas´s Graphic Raycaster is enabled.

What I noticed in the EventSystem however, is that once I start a conversation, the Standalone Input Module changes:


So when I used my arrow keys instead, the conversation suddenly continues as normal. But still stands still when I try to use my mouse. I also checked my Input Device Manager on the scene´s Dialogue Manager prefab. My selected Input Device is mouse.

Hi,

Are you using Invector?

If so, as a test please edit DialogueSystemInvectorBridge.cs and comment out the first line of code in the OnConversationStart method, like this:

Code: Select all

        private void OnConversationStart(Transform other)
        {
            // UpdateEventSystemInput();
            PauseCharacterAndFaceOther(other);
        }

Yes, I´m using Invector. Just tested it, but it didn´t change.

I don´t know if it helps, but when I press the dialogue option, the bg color changes (as if I pressed it). It´s as if the button is being pressed down, but the "message" isn´t sent out to go on to the next part of the convo - hope that makes sense?

The mouse works fine when I open Invectors inventory - there I can use it to equip items.
I enable the mouse/cursor only when the player opens their inventory or when a conversation starts.

[sofia_sbr]

The same also applies to the demo scene - I also enable the cursor there and it can click normaly on all the buttons.
Just for some reason not during conversations.

Can you click dialogue option buttons in the Dialogue System's demo?

[sofia_sbr]

Yes, it works in the demo.
I played around a bit, to make sure that the settings are the same.
For some reason however, it all worked again when I added a Graphic Raycast to the "Basic Standard Dialogue UI" Prefab. There was already one on the Dialogue Manager Prefab Canvas, I´m not sure what´s blocking that one.

But adding an extra one to the Standard Dialogue UI prefab apparently fixed it. Maybe there was one to begin with and somewhere along the way I removied it for no reason.

Thanks again for your help!!!

Hmm, maybe something got set wrong on the Dialogue Manager > Canvas's Graphic Raycaster. But you overrode it with a good Graphic Raycaster one on the dialogue UI. Anyway, glad it's working.
