Trigger Dialogue by name in script

[boz]

Howdy,

Is there a way to do something in script like, say...

Code: Select all

DialogueSystem.TriggerDialogue("NameOfConversation");

I tried this but I'm not sure how to use it correctly:

Code: Select all

public DialogueDatabase database; //Assigned in editor

DialogueSystemTrigger trigger = new DialogueSystemTrigger();
trigger.selectedDatabase = database;
trigger.trigger = DialogueSystemTriggerEvent.OnUse;
trigger.conversation = "NameOfConversation";
trigger.OnUse();

Thanks for any help

Hi,

Use DialogueManager.StartConversation():

Code: Select all

DialogueManager.StartConversation("NameOfConversation");

You can optionally specify the actor GameObject, conversant GameObject, and starting entry ID. (See the API reference in the link.)
