Looking for documentation on how to change the UI

Post by vectorxstudios »

I'm sure I'm just missing it somewhere, but where do I find how to change the UI placement? The tutorial UI is blocked by my in-game HUD and I need to move it more towards the middle of the screen for example.

Thanks!

Hi,

Here's the documentation: Dialogue UIs

And tutorial: Dialogue UI Tutorial (I think the video tutorial is better than the text tutorial for this one.)

The steps in brief are:

1. Find a prefab that you like. Add it as a child of the Dialogue Manager's Canvas.

2. Edit the scene instance of the prefab. Change the UI layout, textures, etc., to whatever you like.

3. Two choices:
(a) Save the scene instance as a new prefab, and assign the prefab to the Dialogue Manager's Dialogue UI field.
(b) Or, just assign the scene instance itself to the Dialogue UI field.
