[70% OFF - FLASH DEAL] Dialogue System for Unity - easy conversations, quests, and more!

Hi Tony,

Thanks for your line of code! I still had some rotation issues at first, but once I moved the dialogue offset repositioning codes above the flip check, everything worked correctly with your new line of code.

I also noticed that when the response panel shows up the 1st response is always "selected" (according to the button component - see picture below). This shouldn't be the case, unless there is a pre-select 1st response check box that I have missed somewhere. Do you know which script evaluates whether the buttons are hovered, selected, etc?

FYI: Here is an excerpt of the revised process:
...
// Move dialogue panel to offset from me:
dialoguePanelCanvas.transform.rotation = transform.rotation;
dialoguePanelCanvas.transform.position = transform.position + transform.rotation * offset;

// May need to flip based on NPC's rotation (i.e., if NPC's model rotation is backward):
if (flip)
{
dialoguePanelCanvas.transform.RotateAround(dialoguePanelCanvas.transform.position, Vector3.up, 180);
}

Thanks again!
Pascal

 

The Dialogue Manager GameObject has an Input Device Manager component. Try setting its Input Device dropdown to Mouse.

If the Input Device is set to Joystick or Keyboard, the response menu will auto-select the first response button so the player can navigate them using a joystick or keyboard. It will also auto-select if the Input Device Manager's Always Auto Focus checkbox is ticked.

The Input Device Manager detects what device you're using. If you move or click the mouse, it will switch to Mouse mode. If you use the joystick, it will switch to Joystick mode. Since you're using VR, just set it to Mouse.

An Asset Store customer named srazysnake had a question about localization export/import. srazysnake - If you see this message, please contact us using any of the methods above so we can help you.

 

Hi @TonyLi! I have a sanity question before I jump in head first into making my own solutions for these.
I tried to find answers with no avail.

Do you have, are you working on or are you planning to have official support for any of these:
- Unity Localization package
- FMod for Unity - this doesn't need an explanation, I guess
- PuppetFace (like Salsa but more advanced and more precise, in exchange it is not real time)

 

Hi @Lurking-Ninja -

• Unity Localization: Yes, relatively soon.
• FMod for Unity: No plans for official integration.
• PuppetFace: Yes. Not as soon as Unity Localization, but definitely on the roadmap.

 

Thanks! Then I will start with the FMod one. Appreciate it!

Suzerain Wins Best Story & Best Game at GDD Awards

Congratulations to Torpor Games! Suzerain, made with the Dialogue System for Unity, just won Best Story and Best Game at the German Dev Days Awards!

 

Your DS Menu Framework is a gift that keeps giving, but its docs haven't been updated in 3 years (https://pixelcrushers.com/dialogue_system/download/MenuFrameworkDocumentation.pdf).
Are the docs still 100% relevant or much has changed for the 2021+ versions? Thanks.

 

There's also this error when the Menu Framework and Visual Novel Framework are both installed:

Assets\Dialogue System Extras\Visual Novel Framework\Scripts\Menus\Menus.cs(15,10): error CS0246: The type or namespace name 'SaveGamePanel' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

 

So this might be kind of a wacky question and I know I'm shooting for the moon here. I'm kind of just hoping you can point me in the right direction please haha. You seem to be the expert in this domain.

I'm working on an application using Dialogue System. The problem is that I need to be able to copy-paste content from some kind of formatted document (.docx, .rtf, .pdf, google doc, etc etc) into unity, into an input field or something similar. The catch is that the copied content needs to retain its text formatting and most importantly any spreadsheet tables created, which unity doesn't natively seem to support. Any ideas?

 

Hi! The docs are still relevant. You can find a change log in the README.txt file. I've done my best to keep changes minimal and non-breaking, so there hasn't been much need to update the docs. However, I just now pushed up an updated package in which I removed the version number from the PDF docs (since the version number is in the README.txt), mentioned the handy "Save System Prefabs" package on the Extras page, and added a short FAQ section at the end.

Since they're both main menu-style framework packages, they're not compatible with each other. You can manually pull in some of the resources from the Visual Novel Framework, such as the gameplay panel, if you want to add it to a project that has the Menu Framework.

 

Hi - Unless someone has made an asset or open source package that I'm not aware of, I don't think it's possible to paste arbitrary formatted data including spreadsheet tables into Unity fields. You may need to write custom import code for that.

 

Content Generation Tips

This post contains miscellaneous content generation tips.

Built-In Editor
Reminder: Version 2.2.23 has some handy new features such as title filters and browser-style navigation buttons for conversations in the Dialogue Editor window and the ability to view and change variable values at runtime using the Variable Viewer window. You can also view and change values of variables, quests, and more in the Dialogue Editor's Watches window.

Yarn Spinner
Yarn Spinner 2.0 just released today. We're hard at work updating the Dialogue System's Yarn Import for 2.0. If you're not yet ready to make the jump to Yarn Spinner 2.0 and want to let the new version settle in and receive bug fixes first, continue to use Yarn 1.x and the Dialogue System's current Yarn Import. Remember to import Yarn Spinner 1.x before enabling the integration. In the Package Manager window, expand the Yarn Spinner foldout and click See Other Versions:



Other Import Formats
Reminder: The Dialogue System supports many other formats, including articy:draft, Chat Mapper, JLC (which Mografi developed while making Jenny LeClue), JSON, Twine, Ink, and others. However, most devs prefer to use the built-in editor since it's integrated nicely with Unity. You can drag GameObjects into scene events, drag audio files into Sequence fields for voiceover, etc.

I noticed this "works in vr". What does it look like in VR and how do you interact with it? Is there a video somewhere showing it?

 

Hi @Disastorm - You can make it look however you want. That's just a matter of styling your dialogue UI, just like in non-VR projects. The main differences are showing the dialogue UI in world space (e.g., a plain old world space UI canvas) and interacting with response menus using VR input devices. The Dialogue System Extras page has three VR examples:

• VR XR Interaction Toolkit Example: Uses Unity's VR Interaction Toolkit package to interact with UIs.
• Steam VR Example: Uses Steam VR interaction.
• Oculus Laser Pointer Example: Uses the Oculus integration package's laser pointer.

Another Dialogue System user, Peter_Futurus, recently posted an example that he set up in VR. It's a conversion of the Dialogue System's regular demo scene into VR in which he put the dialogue UI on the player's wrist like a Pip-Boy in Fallout. The examples on the Extras page do it a little differently and put the dialogue UI in an area of the scene next to the NPC.

 

Cool thanks for the info

 

Dialogue System 50% Off

Happy holidays!

Get yourself a Christmas present: the Dialogue System for Unity is 50% off in the Asset Store's New Year Sale. Whether you want to make a short game during your winter break or you've made a New Year's resolution to finally make that dream game in 2022, now's a great time to get the Dialogue System for half price.

 

Hey Tony,
I got your Dialouge System and want to use it for a VR project. And I've got it almost working, my issue at the moment is that I can interact with the "Talk" button over the NPC but after the first interaction I can't click on the Response Button. If I use the Mouse in Playmode instead of the Controller the Button is Highlighted but not clickable. And in VR with controllers it dont get highlighted and is not clickable. I don't know whats the problem could give me some advice please?

And I wish you all a Merry Christmas!

 

Merry Christmas! It's just regular Unity UI, so make sure your response menu is set up to allow Unity UI to detect your VR interaction. Some things to check:

• Your scene has an EventSystem.
• The response button(s)' Interactable checkboxes are ticked.
• The Canvas containing your response menu has a Graphic Raycaster or equivalent depending on what interaction system you're using to interact with Unity UI.

The Dialogue System Extras page has some example scenes using various VR interaction methods. See this post for info about them.

 

That was a fast Response EventSytem is there. The Buttons have all Interactable checked. The Canvases have Graphic Raycaster. At the Graphic Raycaster component I unchecked the Ignore Reversed Graphics. And now I can hover and click the buttons but onclick nothing happens. Do I have to assign something on the onclickevent on the response Button? On the Talk button I have set it to onUse to the Private Hart Dialoug but what should I add to the Response Button?

I saw the Demo Scenes and actually I copied everything from the Demo scene.

EDIT2: Started over from scratch and now its working!! Idk what I did different than before.





EDIT: I wanted to take a look at the Barebone example but that doesn't work either. I created a new Project and installed all packages from the readme in the xr interaction example. But there are missing Scripts and Prefabs.

 

Hi @Edsirens - Awesome -- I'm glad you got it working. To answer your questions, in general you can leave response buttons' OnClick() events blank.

Spoiler: Sordid details

If a response button's OnClick() has nothing in it, the Dialogue System will automatically connect it to the "player selected this response" code. However, if you do add something to OnClick(), you will need to manually call the button's StandardUIResponseButton.OnClick(response) method. This allows designers to "intercept" the response button click to do something else first, and then call OnClick(response) when they want to.

Those are prefabs directly from the XR Interaction Toolkit. If you don't see them in your version, you may need to locate the XR Interaction Toolkit in the Package Manager window and import the Samples:

 

Ah alright, good to know. Is Quest Machine useable with VR too? And I watched your Videos with The Messy Coder and I saw that the Emerald AI integration supports V2, will it support V3 also? If yes I will get Quest Machine too.

 

Hi @Edsirens - Yes to both. Quest Machine supports Emerald AI v3, and it uses Unity UI so it's perfectly fine with VR.

Hey @TonyLi it's been a long time, first of all happy new year.
I have sent you an email but I was wondering if we could talk through discord for an important thing about setting a new UI with this quest machine, if you can feel free to add me: Maswa#8161

 

Hi @maswa - Feel free to join the Pixel Crushers Discord Server. Note that the Discord server is primarily for discussion, not technical support. I'll also reply to your email.

 

I'm currently using the Letterbox Template Standard prefab but I realized that you can't have more than 3 user choices because there's only enough panels for three responses. I understand I need to use Scroll Rect to enable more options but I'm fairly new to Unity so I was wondering if anyone else had experience updating this prefab to accommodate more dialogue choices?

 

Hi @TheRalpha - Here's a version that (1) expands the letterbox area as needed to accommodate longer text, and (2) supports an unlimited number of responses.

 

Hey there! What's the best way to trigger animations like this?

(timestamp 12:01). Basically I just want to change the emotion of the character(the pose). I wont generally need to change the position, only the pose of the character(by just replacing it with another sprite). It would be nice to have some fade-in/fade-out animation for this though.

 

Hi @Stickeyd - Use Animated Portraits. (Alternatively, you could use the Dialogue System's Spine integration if you have access to Spine.)

The Dialogue System Extras page has an Animated Change Pose Example (direct download).

The character starts in this pose:



and cross-fades to this pose:



In this example, Subtitle Panel 0's portrait image is actually two images. The portrait animation fades out one image while fading in the other.

Note: The Dialogue Manager's Canvas has a Canvas Scaler set to scale to screen size 960 x 600.

 

Just what I needed, thank you!

 

Hello, thanks for that great asset, I'm currently integrating it with RPG Builder but I get stuck on something.
I'm new with your tool and it is probably very simple but how can I change a bool variable created in your tool?



I'm using "using PixelCrushers.DialogueSystem;" and I have a feeling that I am close with DialogueManager.instance.initialDatabase.variables but no matter what I try after, I fail
Any insight?

Edit: oh just to be sure, I try to do it in c#

Thank you!

 

Hi - Use DialogueLua.SetVariable().

At runtime, the Dialogue System loads the variable definitions in your dialogue database into variables in its Lua environment. At that point, treat the variable definitions in the dialogue database as read-only. In the editor's play mode, you can view and change the runtime Lua values in the Dialogue Editor's Watches section or the separate Variable Viewer window.

To change the variable values in code, use DialogueLua.SetVariable(), such as:

Code (lua):

1. DialogueLua.SetVariable("200Gold", true);

 

Thank you and glad I asked, I was far from the right answer
I have avoided the Lua part of the documentation thinking it wasn't for me, now I understand.

Cheers!

 

Glad to help! Just a side note: The Dialogue System runs a Lua environment under the hood, but this does not mean you have to write any Lua code. (You have the option to do so if you want, however.) To access DS variables in C# code, just use the DialogueLua C# methods. To check and set DS variables and other data (quests, etc.) in dialogue entry nodes' Conditions and Script fields, use the "..." button and select what you want from the dropdowns; no typing necessary.

 

Thank you for the added details.
It is just some habit and a little thinking to learn and I'm not worried I will be able to learn it fast.

 

Hello,
I had a little simple questions about dialogue canvas;
The 2D Corgi Engine NPC scale transform is (x=1,y=1,z=1) face right to the Player.When NPC face left the transform sacle is (x= -1,y=1,z=1).So the ConversationZone and all the dialogue and canvas fliped like this；
Is there had a way to make dialogue canvas not follow the NPC scale changes？

 

Hi! Add a MatchCharacterDirection component to the NPC's CorgiStandardDialogueControls child GameObject.

 

Hi Tony,
I found Subtitle Chars Per Second value does not working in my project, whatever the value is, the subtitle(typewritter) speed is always the same.
I've set both Dialogue Syetem Controller->Subtitle Settings->Subtitle Chars Per Second and Unity UI Typewritter Effect->Subtitle Chars Per Second.
While debugging I found the m_sequencer.subtitleEndTime value is correct.
I can't find the reason now. Please help, thank you!

 

Hi @Jakuri_F - Subtitle Chars Per Second is different from the typewriter speed.

To change the typewriter speed, set the typewriter effect component's Characters Per Second:



The Dialogue Manager's Subtitle Chars Per Second and Min Subtitle Seconds control the value of the special sequencer keyword {{end}}, which you can use in sequencer commands:



For example, if the dialogue text is 120 characters long and Subtitle Chars Per Second is 30, then {{end}} will be 4 seconds. (120 / 30 = 4)

This allows the subtitle to stay onscreen for a longer duration than when the typewriter finishes. If you want to advance the conversation as soon as the typewriter ends, set Subtitle Chars Per Second to the same value as the typewriter effects' Characters Per Second, and set Min Subtitle Seconds to a low value such as 0.5. Also, some designers don't use typewriter effects at all in their dialogue UIs. The {{end}} keyword allows them to control the amount of time the subtitle is visible in this case, too.

 

So I did all of the instructions in the Animated Portraits link, and for some reason when I rename the Subtitle Panel's portrait image from "Portrait Image" to "Portrait Image1"(I need to do this to play the animation in this particular panel in the dialogue entry sequence) it automatically starts to run my animation of changing the color alpha that I prepared.... but also making the image red. And if I rename it back from "Portrait Image1" to "Portrait Image" there is no default animation running(even though I'm not doing anything in sequences yet. It's just a default animation running. Not sure what is happening

https://gyazo.com/64158fd9d2a539e88dd43dfa9b16b11c

Even though my actual animation does nothing to change the color:

https://gyazo.com/f2e1032b2972b6984f414eb852d0b197

Everything is set up in the dialogue actor too:

https://gyazo.com/9351b2710dd875548526417689e052ff

When I change portrait name back to "Portrait Image" then nothing happens(no longer red color and default animation for animator ) as you can see

https://gyazo.com/6393e55ed582c3ecf319f8a438b1504d

 

Thanks for the help.
After read the manual about More Mountains Inventory Engine support and other manuals:

1.Which place should i put Dialogue System Inventory Event Listener and Inventory Engine Saver components in?
When i add each one of them,an inventory(script) component automatic appearanced（at Dialogue Manager）
But I already added this inventory(script)component at other place.After add Dialogue System Inventory Event Listener and Inventory Engine Saver i run the game Unity tell me“ MissingReferenceException: The object of type 'Inventory' has been destroyed but you are still trying to access it.”

2.If i use Pixel Crushers save system to save all the data.How to set up the components in Corgi & Inventroy Engine？

Sorry about the noob questions and my not good English level to ask.I might have a lot of questions like this.Hope im not bother you.
