Hello,

I'm trying to have a specific behaviour. I want the following behaviour:

• A power-up game object with a timeline cutscene attached to it.
• Upon entering the power-up's trigger2d the timescale is set to 0 and the acquire power-up cutscene is started.
• At the end of the timeline a signal enables a dialogue trigger component set to "onEnable" and "play during paused game".
• The conversation starts without the game ever being unpaused.
• After the conversation finishes timescale is 1 again and the player may continue.

What happens instead: As soon as the timeline ends and the signal emitter is called, the conversation does start, but the timescale seems to be 1 again, and after finishing the conversation (4 straight standard nodes) the game pauses. I tried manually calling the trigger's OnUse() but it did not help.

I'm a bit at a loss since I do have other conversations working just fine during timescale 0. I use the usable and selector components in combination with the trigger component set to OnUse there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Would you please post a screenshot of the Dialogue System Trigger's inspector view?

Hello Tony,

here the screenshot:

I arranged the components in order for the director and the signal receiver to be visible too, so you can hopefully see what I'm aiming for.

Hi,

You do not need to tick Pause Game During Conversation. If you leave it UNticked, it should leave Time.timeScale untouched.

Hello,

I tried this but I didn't get the desired result. Behaviour remained the same.

I'm now trying another approach by not using the trigger component. Instead I directly call StartConversation() by script after hooking into the playabledirector.stopped event. I think I'll get it to behave the way I want with this approach.

Sorry for bothering you and thank you again for your time and advice.

Sounds good. If you need to revisit it, let me know.
