I want to disable the ability to start conversations when things like shops and inventory pages are open.
Is there a simple way to do this?
I was thinking about doing something like disabling "usable" component on all objects with "NPC" tag when opening windows, but I'm thinking there might be a more effective way or maybe something built in to the Dialogue System? Which might be good to know for future use.
Thanks!

Hi,

If the player can only trigger Usable components using a Selector or Proximity Selector component, you can disable the Selector/Proximity Selector when windows are open.

If the player can trigger Dialogue System Triggers in other ways, you can make and use a subclass of DialogueSystemTrigger that overrides the TryStart() method. If windows are open, exit immediately; otherwise call the base TryStart() method.

Disabling the Proximity Selector works like a charm, thanks!

Glad to help!
