Been interesterd in dialogue sysytem for quite awile, so i download a trial version. Everything was fine, but i ran into this small issue - bark bubbles been displayed under some meshes. An advise will be much apreciated!

Hi,

By default, barks use world space canvases, which means they're positioned in world space. If you want barks to appear on top of other things that are closer to the camera:

1. Change your bark UI's Layer to "UI", including children.

2. Inspect your main camera, and remove "UI" from the Culling Mask dropdown. Make a note of the camera's Depth.

3. Add a child camera to your main camera. Set the position and rotation to (0,0,0) so it's in exactly the same place as the main camera. Set the Clear Flags to Depth Only, and Culling Mask to only "UI". Set Depth to a value that's higher than the main camera's Depth.

This will ensure that the bark UI is rendered after the other objects in the scene, so it will appear on top.

It works! Much appreciated! One more question tho - will it work with Unity HDRP?

Yes, the Dialogue System works with all rendering pipelines.

Thanks a lot! Dialogue system is a beast!

Glad to help!

Can you direct me to the Bark UI? I can't find it to adjust its layer.

You can find some bark UI prefabs in the folders Plugins > Pixel Crushers > Dialogue System > Prefabs > Standard UI Prefabs > Templates > Basic and Bubble.

You'll typically assign a bark UI prefab (such as a customize copy of one of the prefabs above) to a Dialogue Actor component on a character's GameObject.

Thank you, Tony.

Glad to help!
