Hey Tony,
I am attempting to create a trivia minigame with a version of the SMS dialogue UI but I'm having an issue where the answers are cut off due to being too long. Is there a way to put responses on separate lines instead of one?. If possible, I wanted to make 2 answers on each line. (screenshots attached).

Hi,
The SMS Dialogue UI prefab's Response Panel has a Horizontal Layout Group, which lays out the response buttons horizontally.
You can replace this with a Vertical Layout Group to lay out the buttons vertically.
The
Unity UI tutorial on raywenderlich.com is really helpful if you need an introduction to Unity UI layout.

Thanks Tony, that did it! Is there also a way to randomize the order of the responses? I tried a couple ways with RandomizeNextEntry() and x = math.random() but I couldn't get it to work right.

You can shuffle the responses in an OnConversationResponseMenu() method on a script on the Dialogue Manager. Example:
Code: Select all
void OnConversationResponseMenu(Response[] responses)
{
for (int i = 0; i < responses.Length - 1; i++)
{
int j = Random.Range(i, responses.Length);
Response temp = responses[i];
responses[i] = responses[j];
responses[j] = temp;
}
}
