Cancel and Randomize barks via script

[domopuff]

Hey Tony,

Is there a script method to cancel all active barks? I tried using BarkGroupManager.instance.CancelAllBarks() but doesn't seem to work.

Also was wondering if there's a way to trigger and randomize barks via script as well?

Thank you!

Hi,

To cancel all barks, add BarkGroupMember components to your barking characters. Then BarkGroupManager.instance.CancelAllBarks() will tell all BarkGroupMembers to cancel any active barks.

To trigger randomized barks in C#, use DialogueManager.Bark() to DialogueManager.BarkString(). If your conversation only has two dialogue entries to randomize from, Dialogue System version 2.2.50 will have a fix that randomly chooses between the two. (Currently it always uses the first entry if there are only two.)

Thanks for the help Tony. Would there also be a way to sequentially trigger barks as well? Or i just need to ensure the previous bark doesn't repeat itself again.

Hi,

Create a BarkHistory object and pass it along. Example:

Code: Select all

private BarkHistory barkHistory = new BarkHistory(BarkOrder.Sequential);

void BarkNextSequentialLineInOrder()
{
    DialogueManager.Bark("My Bark Conversation", this.transform, barkHistory);
}

Thanks it worked!
