Change Player portrait picture

[Grayson]

Hi Tony,

Is there a way to change the player portrait sprite dynamically? For example, when the player is a human I want a human portrait to display in the dialogue boxes, but when they are an Orc I want an orc portrait to be displayed, Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Grayson

Hi,

One way is to assign the different images to the Actor's Portrait Sprites list in the Dialogue Editor. Note the number of each image (e.g., [1] for human, [2] for orc, [3] for elf, etc.). Then use the C# method DialogueManager.SetPortrait(). For example, to set the Player actor's portrait to [2]:

Code: Select all

DialogueManager.SetPortrait("Player", "pic=2");

Alternatively, you can put the portrait images in a folder named "Resources" and then specify an image name. Example:

Code: Select all

DialogueManager.SetPortrait("Player", "orc"); // Assumes image named "orc" is in a Resources folder.
