Getting Dialogue System to Work w/ Platformer Pro

Hi,

I've been using Platformer Pro for quite some time... I'd really like to be able to use it with Dialogue System for Unity.

My problem is that it seems that Dialogue System has a requirement that I can't seem to put my finger on, which is keeping me from getting it to work w/ PPro.

I've done the Interaction tutorial (http://www.pixelcrushers.com/dialogue_s ... ction.html)

which is pretty simple and straight forward.

However, PPro seems to do something different with it's colliders, and I'm unable to get triggers or use buttons to work as I could in the tutorial.

I know that Dialogue System works, because I got the conversation to appear on scene start.

I've tried configuring my character many different ways, and I'm just not able to figure it out.

I've seen where others have gotten these two assets to work together, what am I missing?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Hi,

Please check: How To: Fix Selector and Proximity Selector Issues

Also, there's a newer interaction tutorial in video form: Interaction Video Tutorial

The text tutorial will be updated in the next release.

Tony,

Hi, thank you for your post, it really helped me to get my troubleshooting mojo on.

This is now working for me.

I had two problems:

1 - I was trying to utilize the colliders I already had in place in child gameobject named hurtbox... Instead I needed to have my colliders and my dialogue system scripts on the parent player gameobject.

2 - Platformer Pro was loading a prefab into the scene for my player character... I was editing a prefab in the scene but not saving it... and the prefab that was being loaded was the one in my prefabs project folder... not the one in the scene.

Once I figured these two things out, everything started working.

Thanks again! These are amazing assets!
