Hi there!

In my quest to implement "functions" inside conversations, I'm wondering if there is a way to get the Entry ID of the next dialogue entry.

My typical use case would be very simple, with just one node after the one getting the ID. But it would be nice (bonus points!) if it would be able to tell apart which one of the multiple next nodes will be the one it'll pick when Continue() is called.

Here is a rough outline of what I mean. Please ignore the adequacy of that flow, it's just an example and not my actual use case.

Both 'jumps' (go and return) are done from PlayMaker.



Multiple entries:

If you don't mind a little C#, you can get the next dialogue entry from DialogueManager.currentConversationState. You can check if its hasNPCResponse property is true. If so, the next entry is in the firstNPCResponse property. Otherwise it's a player response. In this case, check if hasPCAutoResponse is true; if so, use pcAutoResponse. If not, use the pcResponses[] array.
