Alert after conversation ends

How do I trigger an alert after a conversation has ended? A condition has been met, and I want an alert to trigger after the conversation in that branch ends, so the alert menu is gone.

Hi,
If you set the "Alert" variable -- for example, in a dialogue entry node's Script field:
- Dialogue Text: "We have a winner!"
- Script: Variable["Alert"] = "Goal achieved: win carnival game"
at the end of the conversation the Dialogue System will check this variable. If it's set, it will show the text as an alert and then set the Alert variable back to a blank string.
Alternatively, if you want to show an alert right away in the middle of a conversation, tick the Dialogue Manager's Alert Settings > Allow Alerts During Conversations. Then use the ShowAlert("message") Lua function in a Script field.
