Hi, I have been searching a way to show a quick temporary message on my game. I want it to be a dialog panel who just come to the screen for a shot moment and pop out. I tried to make a personalized panel for that, but right now I don't know how to change the actual dialogue Ui for another one . It's pretty much the equivalent of a bark, but when I use the bark prefab and add it, It needs to be set on a specific position. I just want to have the message, lock in screen with a sprite of the conversant.

Hi,

Sounds like you want to show an alert message. You can set up your dialogue UI's Alert Panel to look like a subtitle panel if you want.

There are several ways to show an alert:

• With a Dialogue System Trigger, select Add Action > Show Alert.
• Or use the equivalent visual scripting action (e.g., PlayMaker "Show Alert" action).
• Or, in C#:

  Code: Select all

  DialogueManager.ShowAlert("your message");

Oh, thank you, is it possible with the alert panel to put the conversant sprite?

Hi,

Alerts are text strings, so they're not associated with an actor.

If you're using TextMesh Pro, you can use a <sprite> tag in your alert text to include an image.

If you want to associate an actor and use its portrait, you could set up a subtitle panel in your dialogue UI. Then play a single-node conversation that's assigned to that actor. Use the [panel=#] markup tag to tell the node to use that panel.

Thank you everything make sense!!

Glad to help!
