How to interrupt conversation and return conversation after interruption.

I tried following code so that I want to interrupt conversation and return conversation after interruption.
But there is not working.
Can I interrupt conversation?
And how can I start original conversation that is keeping node position after interruption?
Code: Select all
void Interrupt(string name)
{
if (DialogueManager.IsConversationActive)
{
ConversationPositionStack.PushConversationPosition();
}
DialogueManager.StartConverastion(name)
}
// Callback function attached ConversationEvent
public void OnConversationEnd()
{
try
{
ConversationPositionStack.PopConversationPosition();
}
catch
{
conversationStarted = false;
}
}

Hi,
To interrupt the conversation:
Code: Select all
string savedConversationTitle;
int savedEntryID;
Transform savedActor;
Transform savedConversant;
savedConversationTitle = DialogueManager.lastConversationStarted;
savedEntryID = DialogueManager.currentConversationState.subtitle.dialogueEntry.id;
savedActor = dialogueManager.currentActor;
savedConversant = DialogueManager.currentConversant;
DialogueManager.StopConversation();
// Then start a new conversation:
DialogueManager.StartConversation(...)
To resume the saved conversation:
Code: Select all
DialogueManager.StartConversation(savedConversationTitle, savedActor, savedConversant, savedEntryID);
However, if you want to temporarily dip into another conversation and then pop back to the previous conversation as if it's part of the same conversation, you can use the conversation position stack:
Code: Select all
ConversationPositionStack.PushConversationPosition();
var newEntry = DialogueManager.masterDatabase.GetConversation(name).GetFirstDialogueEntry();
var newState = DialogueManager.conversationModel.GetState(newEntry);
DialogueManager.conversationView.GotoState(newState);
The end of that conversation can call PopConversationPosition() in the Script field, or you can call it in C#. Make sure you've added a ConversationPositionStack component to your Dialogue Manager.

Thanks!
I tried your solution but I can't return previous conversation.
I seem that I use interrupt function at script field of a response panel probably.
I need to continue the next node of response panel.
There are nodes of conversations.
Node "B" is registered a script that Invokes Interrupt function after clicked the response panel.
Now, my code works interrupting another conversation after clicked "B".
But node "E" is not shown after finished another conversation.
A
├── B
│ └── E
├── C
└── D
Does your solution work in my situation?

If B is a player response node, you may want to record the next node instead of the current node:
Code: Select all
savedEntryID = DialogueManager.currentConversationState.subtitle.speakerInfo.isNPC
? DialogueManager.currentConversationState.subtitle.dialogueEntry.id
: DialogueManager.currentConversationState.firstNPCResponse.destinationEntry.id;

There is a node connection with its corresponding ID.
A (2)
├── B (3)
│ └── E (6)
├── C (4)
└── D (5)
Node B has Intterupt function in its script field (I was registered the Interrupt function from C# script).
If I clicked node B, I expected a scene displaying another conversation and node E after that.
But the scene displayed another conversation and node A in actual.
I understand saveEntryID should be six in my case.
But it is two in actual.
Code: Select all
savedEntryID = DialogueManager.currentConversationState.subtitle.speakerInfo.isNPC
? DialogueManager.currentConversationState.subtitle.dialogueEntry.id
: DialogueManager.currentConversationState.firstNPCResponse.destinationEntry.id;
I attached image created conversation.

Hi,
Should the conversation always go from B to the other conversation and then back? If so, you can use cross-conversation links:
- conversation1.png (26.52 KiB) Viewed 570 times
- conversation2.png (17.34 KiB) Viewed 570 times
This way you don't need any scripts or special code.

Yes!
Can I confirm the background in my situation?
I think your method cannot continue previous conversation after end of another conversation.
If it goes back previous conversation, I need set link another conversation at end of another conversation.
I cannot set link to fixed conversation at another conversation because another conversation is common conversation in my game.
It means another conversation is linked multiple conversations.
I want to make like this.
Code: Select all
Conversation1 -> Conversation0 -> Conversation 1 (Continue where before interruption)
Conversation2 -> Conversation0 -> Conversation 2 (Continue where before interruption)
Can it be possible to solve without script in my situation?

Yes, you can use the
Conversation Position Stack.
Here's an example:
DS_ConversationPositionStack_Interrupt_Example_2023-11-18.unitypackage
I added a Conversation Position Stack component to the Dialogue Manager.
In the dialogue database, I added a variable:
- stack1.png (16.1 KiB) Viewed 561 times
Conversation 1 and Conversation 2 are set up like this:
- stack2.png (35.13 KiB) Viewed 561 times
The "<Maybe Conversation 0>" node stores the current conversation position on the stack by calling PushConversationPosition(). When the player clicks the "B" node, it checks the variable value to decide whether to interrupt the conversation or continue to "E".
Conversation 0 is set up like this:
- stack3.png (24.98 KiB) Viewed 561 times
It has an initial condition that requires the variable to be false. Then it sets the variable true.
The final node returns to the saved position by calling PopConversationPosition().
