Hi, We are trying to implement barks activated when you enter a trigger. we are using a dialogue system trigger set to on trigger enter, aded a conversation as you can see on the image. the problem is the bark message never disappears, nor changes to another one of the conversation.
Only when i exit and reenter the triger it changes the phrase, but stays on forever again. We are using the basic bark UI We want the bark to start when entering a trigger, cycle around the 4 sentences. Only managed to do that using the scripr bbark on idle, but then starts barking and cycling correctly, but always and nonstop. Any ideas what are we doing wrong ?
Thx for the support!

Hi,

When a Dialogue System Trigger is set to OnTriggerEnter, it fires when a collider enters the trigger. It doesn't keep firing after that. You'll want to use Bark On Idle. You can configure the last bark to disable Bark On Idle. Example:


(The screenshot above assumes the GameObject with the Bark On Idle is named "Benny the Barker". A more generic approach would be to use the 'speaker' keyword instead.)

BTW, you could also use a Trigger Event or a Range Trigger instead of a Dialogue System Trigger to accomplish the same thing by enabling and disabling the Bark On Idle component.

The issue with the bark UI not disappearing is probably a separate issue. Are there any errors or warnings in the Console window? Since Wait Until Sequence Ends is ticked, are your barks playing long-running sequences? What happens if you untick Wait Until Sequence Ends?
