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? :)

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?

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.

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

[@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!

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.
