Utilities Permanently 70%off. Storyteller 2023. Dialogue , Interaction, and more (Unity Awards Nominee)

So i found the big issue with the game development pipeline. which is knowing exactly what does what when it comes to Interaction component functions.

Even though all the functions are documented in code.
In the condition system , events do not allow for the display of Documentation which they really should.

Because of this once you get into the game development pipeline and you push tour sceneData and setup your UI etc. you then either have t0 watch the tutorials or review the example scenes.

Sometimes you just want to get going and not do any of that so there not being documentation in the function list itself is a downside.

This is just how the Unity event system is.

So I am adding my own function list dropdown that you will be able to view in the Inspector when you are working with condition systems.

 

here is the function list which is also in a text file and in the inspector as a foldout



Basic Information : in non-linear mode ,the character you set to `IsInControl` will interact with any gameobject with an InteractableCharacter component attached to it. You must call BeginInteraction(InteractableCharacter) or BeginInteraction(gameObject) to begin dialogue / interaction with a character/gameObject with InteractableCharacter component attached If you wish to use collision detection to trigger interaction with a character, then you do not need to call BeginInteraction()

In linear mode, all characters information is set up when you tell the Interaction component to GenerateActiveDialogueSet() or doReset(),


CancelCondition(int) : Cancel a currently processing node specific condition. The int value represents the index of the condition,


CancelGeneralCondition(int) : Cancel a currently processing General condition. The int value represents the index of the condition


ContinueOnRoute(): in non-linear mode, when you choose a character to interact with either vis collision detection or by calling BeginInteraction(InteractableCharacter), BeginInteraction(gameObject) , the very first route on tour InControl character must call ContinueOnRoute in its node specific condition.


GenerateActiveDialogueSet(): will generate the complete interaction data for your scene in linear mode and for characters you specifically target for interaction in non-linear mode


GenerateActiveDialogueSet(bool ignoreControllingCharacter): will generate the complete interaction data for your scene in linear mode and for characters you specifically target for interaction in non-linear mode. By setting IngnoreControllingCharacter to true, the data from the controlling character will not be included in the generated interaction data,


GoToRoute(int): Tells your currently processed route to go to a branching path. Int value represents the index of the path


MoveNext(): Tells the Interaction system to go to the next node/ dialogue/interaction

I am considering adding a video export system and will be including the example save load script as a default save load system.

 

Is there going to be an upgrade price for ST2 for those who own the original version?

 

The upgrade is setup and the old version will be removed sometime in August.
