Hi,
i would like to achieve this

where my character is reading a random book on a shelf , without displaying the portrait name.
right now if i set the conversant to None, it displays a blank portrait name.
how can i hide/disable the portrait name only when i set the conversant to none?

Hi,

Two ways:

1. Add a subtitle panel without portrait name/image elements to your dialogue UI. Assign it to the Standard Dialogue UI component's Conversation UI Elements > Subtitle Panels list and make a note of its element number. This is its panel number. Then either:

• Include "[panel=#]" to the book's dialogue text to show it in that panel, where # is the panel number
• Or add a Dialogue Actor component to the book GameObject (if one exists, or create an empty one) and set its Dialogue UI Settings > Subtitle Panel Number to the panel number.

2. Or create an entirely new dialogue UI for books that doesn't have portrait name/image elements. Assign it to the book's Dialogue System Trigger > Actions > Start Conversation > Override Dialogue UI field.
