Skipping through a dialogue using the same (keyboard) button

hello, I’m trying to build my own dialog system, and I want to use the same button that activates it (“e”) to skip to the next lines in the dialog by pressing “e” again.
I tried looking but only found things for the UI button.
The way I wanna make this work is like having two game objects (that get activated by pressing “e”) and I wanna deactivate gameobject “a” by pressing “e” again. THEN I wanna deactivate game object “b” by pressing “e” again. I tried doing it but they get deactivated together at the same time.
Thx for your time

 

You will need to map your input to another function while the dialogue is running.
you can do this by using a simple bool.

Code (CSharp):

1. bool dialogueIsRunning;
2.  
3. void OnEButtonPressed(){
4. if(dialogueIsRunning){
5. SkipDialogueLine();
6. }else{
7. ActivateOrDeactivateDialogue();
8. }
9. }

 

you can check if a is still active like this

Code (CSharp):

1. if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.E))
2.         {
3.  
4. if(a.activeSelf == false && b.activeSelf ==false){
5. a.SetActive(true);
6. b.SetActive(true);
7. }else if(a.activeSelf == true && b.activeSelf ==true){
8. a.SetActive(false);
9. } else if(a.activeSelf == false&& b.activeSelf ==true){
10. b.SetActive(false);
11. }
12.         }
13.
