That looks correct. What is the stack trace of the first call?

Does this also happen with DemoScene1 when you talk to the NPC?

As a test, you can add a Conversation Logger component to the Dialogue Manager. It will log every event: OnConversationStart, OnPrepareConversationLine, OnConversationLine, etc.

Ran a test on DemoScene1, and can confirm that OnConversationLine() is getting hit twice. Here are the traces for the first & second hits respectively.

First:

Are you sure it's the same line? Remember that OnConversationLine() will also be called for the <START> node, which typically has no text.

If you're sure that the first OnConversationLine is not for the <START> node, please click on each stack trace in the Console window, press Ctrl+C to copy it to the clipboard, and then paste it into a reply. This will give me the script line numbers so I can determine exactly where it's calling OnConversationLine.

My mistake, it's definitely the start node causing that extra OnConversationLine. Thanks for the heads up!
