Extracting data from a response

[bluebuttongames]

Hi there,

Quick one I couldn't find a specific example in the documentation.

So each of my player responses has a "Difficulty" field. From my own code how can I extract this value?

Pseudocode of what I'm after:

string diff = DialogueManager.CurrentReponses.Response1.Get("Difficulty");

Thanks,

BB

Hi,

You can put a script with a method like this on your Dialogue Manager:

Code: Select all

using PixelCrushers.DialogueSystem;
...
void OnConversationResponseMenu(Response[] responses) {
    foreach (var response in responses) {
        // This code assumes Difficulty is an int, but you can look it up as other types too:
        var diff = Field.LookupInt(response.destinationEntry.fields, "Difficulty");
        Debug.Log("Difficulty of response " + response.destinationEntry.DialogueText + " = " + diff);
    }
} 

API References:

• OnConversationResponseMenu
• Response
• DialogueEntry
• Field

Or go through DialogueManager.CurrentConversationState yourself:

Code: Select all

foreach (var response in DialogueManager.CurrentConversationState.pcResponses) {
    var diff = Field.LookupInt(response.destinationEntry.fields, "Difficulty");
    Debug.Log("Difficulty of response " + response.destinationEntry.DialogueText + " = " + diff);
} 

API Reference:

• CurrentConversationState

Or if you only want to look at the difficulty of the player's selected response after the player has selected it, you can add an OnConversationLine method:

Code: Select all

void OnConversationLine(Subtitle subtitle) {
    Debug.Log("Difficulty: " + Field.LookupInt(subtitle.dialogueEntry.fields, "Difficulty"));
} 

Or look at DialogueManager.CurrentConversationState.subtitle.dialogueEntry.
