SetTimeout Callbacks

Hi Tony!
Is there callbacks for...
This kind of thing? I know I set something like this in the Conversations Editor, under Sequences.
However, I'm looking for callbacks like... "OnTimerStart" and "OnTimerEnd." This way, I can trigger sound files on each occasion, and more.
Thanks!
Remy

Hi,
The timer starts when the response menu starts, so you can use the OnConversationResponseMenu message for when the timer starts. Use OnConversationTimeout to be notified if/when the timer runs out.

Hi Tony,
Apologies if this is documented somewhere -- if the Timer runs out, how do I redirect the dialogue branching towards another NPC Dialogue?
For example, a message that says something like, "What's taking you so long?" Do I have to do this manually with Conditions? Or is there something built in for this?
Thanks!

Hi,
If you set the Dialogue Manager's Display Settings > Input Settings > Response Timeout Action to anything except Custom, it will follow one of the response menu options (first, last, current, or random).
If you set it to Custom, add a script to the Dialogue Manager that has an OnConversationTimeout() method that does something. For example, when writing your conversation you could set the Title (or a custom field) of a dialogue entry to a specific value. In OnConversationTimeout(), find this dialogue entry and go to it. Rough example:
Code: Select all
void OnConversationTimeout()
{
var conversation = DialogueManager.masterDatabase.GetConversation(DialogueManager.currentConversationState.subtitle.dialogueEntry.conversationID);
var timeoutEntry = conversation.dialogueEntries.Find(entry => entry.Title == "OnTimeout");
DialogueManager.conversationController.GotoState(DialogueManager.conversationMode.GetState(timeoutEntry));
}

Thanks for this, Tony.
I've set Response Timeout Action to "Choose Current Response," but it keeps choosing the First Response anyways. I looked into the ConversationController Script, and it seems this occurs when selected response null?
I'm not using mouse, just WASD and Gamepad for my Dialogue system -- is there a reason why my "highlighted/selected" response is not registering?

Hi,
Please import this fix for "Choose Current Response":
DS_TimeoutCurrentResponsePatch_2020-12-01.unitypackage
It isn't in the just-released version 2.2.14, so if you import 2.2.14 you'll want to import this patch on top of it. This fix will be in 2.2.15.
