Hello,

What is definition of sequence in Dialogue System?

I understand the term of Conversation and Node, Actor but not sure of Sequence

Hi,

A Sequence is a series of commands. These commands typically do something that the user can experience, such as moving the camera, playing animation, or playing audio. Compare this to the dialogue entry node's Script field, which uses Lua commands. The Script field usually manages internal data such as setting variables.

Every dialogue entry node has a Sequence. (If the node's Sequence is blank, it will use the Dialogue Manager's Camera & Cutscene Settings > Default Sequence.)

When the active conversation shows a dialogue entry's subtitle, it also plays the dialogue entry's Sequence. The subtitle stays onscreen until the Sequence is done. Then the conversation progresses to the next step in the conversation.

More info: Cutscene Sequences
and: Cutscene Sequences Video Tutorial Series

makes sense!

So what I've been setting to each Sequence Command field was actually it.
Multiple commands in the field are sequences and single as sequence.

When the active conversation shows a dialogue entry's subtitle, it also plays the dialogue entry's Sequence. The subtitle stays onscreen until the Sequence is done. Then the conversation progresses to the next step in the conversation.

this is also useful info
