Yes. The documentation is tucked away in the reference for Audio() and AudioWait(), but to mute those commands set a Dialogue System variable named "Mute" to true:

Code: Select all

// C# code to mute voices:
DialogueLua.SetVariable("Mute", true);

If you only want to mute voices but not other audio played by Audio() and AudioWait(), assign your actors' Audio Source to a specific audio mixer group (e.g., named "Voices" or something like that). Then set the volume of that audio mixer group to zero.

// C# code to mute voices:
DialogueLua.SetVariable("Mute", true);

You could add a method like this to your GameManager script:

Code: Select all

using PixelCrushers.DialogueSystem; // Add to top of your script.
...
public void EnableVoiceover(bool voicesOn)
{
    DialogueLua.SetVariable("Mute", !voicesOn);
}

Note that I flipped the logic: EnableVoiceover(true) turns voices on by setting the Mute variable false, and EnableVoiceover(false) mutes voices by setting the Mute variable true. This way you can hook it up to a UI Toggle's OnValueChanged() event > Dynamic Methods.

Great! You could probably simplify it even more:

Code: Select all

public void EnableVoiceover()
{
    DialogueLua.SetVariable("Mute", true);
    Debug.Log("Sound ON");
}

public void EnableOffVoiceover()
{
    DialogueLua.SetVariable("Mute", false);
    Debug.Log("Sound OFF");
}
