Thanks for the suggestions! I think I need to credit you for half the improvements made in the last few versions. If any other ideas come to mind, just let me know. (Don't say "optimize Dialogue Editor performance."
I'm working on that for a bigger version 2.3 release.)

I'm on Unity version 2020.1.4f1, and the latest version I'm seeing in the Package manager is 2.2.13 :/

Thanks for the update!
What is "group node"?

Also, is Override Display Settings of a single conversation duplicated as well (previously it wasn't) when the conversation is duplicated?

Yes, Override Display Settings is now duplicated as well.
A group node has Conditions and Script, but it does not show a subtitle. Instead, if the Conditions are true, it runs the Script and immediately progresses to the next node.

I don't see the following anywhere in the Dialogue Manager component:
- Added: Dialogue Manager option to interrupt active conversation if trying to start another.
It looks like the option is in the code (I'm on version 2.2.15). Am I missing it somewhere?
The reason I'm looking to add this is I have situtations where there is an Override UI conversation functioning as bark of sorts when the player interacts with objects or points of interest, but when they go to talk to an NPC I'd like it to cut off the original Override UI conversation and start the new one. This isn't a big issue, but I don't want the player interracting with an NPC and not being able to start a conversation (as I don't want to allow simultaneous conversation), so I assume this would fix that problem.
As a side note, if I hit the button to start the conversation quickly enough, the old override UI dialog box remains on the screen during the new conversation. Any idea why the original dialogue (the one in the bubble in the attached screenshot) remains on screen?

DialogueManager.interruptActiveConversations is a property you can set it code:
Code: Select all
DialogueManager.instance.interruptActiveConversations = true;
(Edit: Added 'instance')

Is the fullscreen conversation trigger configured to pause the game? If so, it's possible that it's pausing the bark or its Animator, preventing the fade out animation from playing. Make sure the bark UI Animator's update mode is set to Unscaled Time.
