Hi! I got a problem when trying to use another Dialogue Panel during a cutscene.

I'm using commands to run a cutscene. And everything works fine.
The problem is when I try to change an actor Subtitle Panel. When I try to do so, for some reason the 2 dialogue panels appear. The default and the custom 1(used for this actor). This happens if:

1.- I use the sequence SetPanel() during conversation 2.- I assign the actor an "actor component" and change the "Subtitule Panel Number" to the custom one. In both cases I get the same result, both subtitle panels appear
They both are instantiated on the canvas
The Custom Panel for the special actor still appears even when a new actor starts talking


No idea what may be the problem. This is the first time I try to use more than 2 conversants on a conversation.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Try setting the subtitle panels' Visibility dropdowns to Until Superceded.

Hi! Thanks for the reply. This solved the problem at the beginning of the conversation. But when a new NPC started talking both subtitle panels appeared.

Just for anyone with a similar problem, I managed to solve it by first hiding the custom panel with HidePanel(1); then setting the dialogue panel to false SetDialoguePanel(false); and then setting it to true SetDialoguePanel(true);. In this way, everything works fine.

Thanks again!

Hi,

Did you set both subtitle panels' Visibility to Until Superceded? If so, then when the second subtitle panel appears it should automatically hide the first one.

Hi Tony,

yes. I set "Until Superceded" for both panels. The only solution I found is the one described in the previous post.

Hi,

There may be something particular going on with your dialogue UI.

If you're happy with your current solution, we can leave it there.
