5 Minute DIALOGUE SYSTEM in UNITY Tutorial

[@Cerified]

For those who are confused as to where to put your text. When you go to the DialogueBox’s inspector, underneath the Dialogue script tab, there’s another tab called ‘Lines’. That’s where you add it! :)

[@Prudento-j1u]

nice

[@amyguzman3502]

Hm weird, I cannot find it

[@amyguzman3502]

nvm just found it!

[@agustinquindimil6594]

I can put this script anywhere and then call it when I press "e" lets say, right?

[@angeloharrysumagui4238]

OMG THANKYOUUUUU

[@igseatsyursoul]

Finally a dialogue that is basic with no bells and whistles that I can fully customize. Too many of the other tutorials on this added way more than I want for my small game.

[@LucasHenrique-xj8uy]

yoo, how is the game going, still working on it? :)

[@LaneWatson]

Ahh yes. Got my 5 minute fix. The most useful tutorials on Unity.

God thank you SO MUCH for including the complete on click function!!!! A lot of tutorials don't, and it really sucks as a player to be waiting and waiting for this shit to type itself out (especially if you read fast). Such a clean and clear cut tutorial!!! Thank you!!!

[@arrexu01]

Question. How would I be able to mix this with a multiple choice dialogue system?. Like, say my player would have a voice line, then naturally the npc would respond, but only once and the conversation is done. So what I mean is, how can i transition between both?

[@luluskuy]

This... Simply short and sweet. SUBSCRIBED!

[@HivemindZalgo]

Jesus, why is it so hard to do something like what u did? Other videos take up 20-30 minutes of my life with extra stuff that's unnecessary but if I don't add the code will break. Thanks a lot!

[@cricadev]

Hey bro, how can I do this but with the new input system from unity, GetMouseButtonDown, doesn't exist anymore.

[@barrelbrothers6896]

Thank you man! Super detailed/concise tutorial 10/10.

[@MadGeekGirl]

Is there anyway to add this to multiple game objects and have the dialogue system come up when the game object is interacted with in some way? I've tried so many tutorials and methods and have been stuck for days.

[@N81_Chrono]

Did you find out. Same problem lol

[@samasquarei]

Have your player trigger the StartDialogue method when they press "x" button and is raycast hitting your dialogue character

[@gr29215]

I know it's been two years from this coment, but I'm in that problem right now. Did you know how to solve it?

[@samasquarei]

@@gr29215 my reply is the solution.

[@shang_psycho7414]

Thanks! This helped a lot. Something cool to add would be that sounds that play while someone's talking like Undertale.

[@valentinoworks]

For some reason at 3:48 the text component doesn't show up for my Dialogue Script...

[@amyguzman3502]

same

[@gqsnowman]

It didn't for me either but I could still drag the script from the icons to the component and it showed up in the inspector.

[@iwoMalki]

Nice simple and fast! Lovely!

[@macrozs]

Thanks very much! Is there a way to make the dialog only appear when you interact with something, and have diffent dialogues depending on what you interacted?

is there a way to make it pause for a small moment for stuff like commas or something like that?

[@muttlymartin]

ngl i got a really odd error when goin though his steps, its displaying 0 which i suspect is the index then flashes each character after the number. ive double checked my code to his but i dont understand wondering if someone might of had the same issue?

[@madpenguin58]

Hi @BMo! Is there some kind of way that one could add some kind of trigger collider on something like a sign or NPC and have the character hit a button like the space key in order to start the dialogue instead of having it start at the beginning of the game? I have tried some things myself but I just can't figure this one out. Thanks!

[@BMoDev]

Yeah 100%, you just need that trigger to execute the StartDialogue method. I have an "Interaction" tutorial, you can use the principals in that to call the StartDialogue Method! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mX3deGR-eciAatU

[@madpenguin58]

@@BMoDev Ok! Thank you very much! I was also wondering (sorry I have so many questions. I should probably just get better at code on my own.) if there was some kind of way to implement a response, and have the dialogue loop back to the beginning every time you play it. Thanks!

Ok, that's cool and all, but how did you make the actual different lines of dialogue? Where did you put them specifically?

[@evannationarmy7769]

In the DialogueBox, where you attached the Dialogue Script, there should be a menu that says Lines. You can set how many lines you want and type in what you want them to say.

Create AudioSource and then apply the typing sound to it Just activate it every time a new character appears

[@connorwilson-long1336]

Any easy way to reset this when coming back for more dialogue? It works if I just set the index to 0 and change the dialogue lines, but it is blank at first and when it doesn't do the animation for the first line either.

Absolutely love this video!!! Helped a lot, but I have a question. If I wanted to make multiple instances of waiting function for some reason code doesnt execute them at all. If I have multiple IEnumerators nor If I have If function in one IEnumerator, there it will only execute the original and if I change the text appearance to that another if statement it will completely skip any dialogue at all (my main reason of doing this if because the character not always speaks at same speed e.g. if he is surprised he will swallow some of his words or in cutscener or non-interactable dialogue which will appear and dissapear of its own).
