Creating Interactive Game Conversations in Unity (Free Dialogue Tool)

[@SpeedTutor]

Another awesome little asset that is COMPLETELY FREE! :D Make sure to check out the free publisher assets for this week! :) Thanks everyone! :D 🔥FANATICAL GAMEDEV BUNDLES: bit.ly/FanaticalGameDevBundles 🔥UNITY SALES: bit.ly/UnitySalesHub 🔥HUMBLE BUNDLES: bit.ly/HumbleBundleDeals

[@NeuralNexus875]

My favorite part about Unity is how many free tools there are on the Asset store that can help speed up development

[@SpeedTutor]

I agree, it's such a great community. The developers are really what makes it so special! Thanks for watching though! :)

[@alec_almartson]

This is a very cool Asset, Thank You SpeedTutor!

[@SpeedTutor]

You're very welcome, Alec! :) Anything you'll use it for?

[@alec_almartson]

@@SpeedTutor I don't have a particular use for it now, but surely in the future I will (because it fits many game genres that use any type of storytelling, (where there are Characters and NPCs, there are Conversations 😆)) Have a good day

[@SpeedTutor]

Thanks man, you too! :)

[@jackrj3464]

Cara, é simplesmente inacreditavel o que você criou. Eu nao sou muito fã de baixar coisas prontas e por isso estava procurando aulas sobre esse assunto, mas o que eu encontrei foi uma nova meta a ser alcançada: fazer sistemas tão bem quanto você. Parabens, te desejo todo sucesso do mundo.

[@SpeedTutor]

I really appreciate that and good luck to you in your game making! :D

[@kiraio]

There's tons of dialogue system out there, but my preference are Fungus or Ink.

[@SpeedTutor]

Awesome, thanks for the suggestions. Are those free options? I saw one called YarnSpinner too!

[@kiraio]

​@@SpeedTutorYes, it's FOSS 🔥

[@SpeedTutor]

That's what we love! :)

[@EpicGamer63637]

Amazing I was looking for something like this ;)

[@SpeedTutor]

That's awesome, I hope you find it useful! :)

[@StudioRamenCat]

Nice share here I'll definitely have to give this one a try.

[@SpeedTutor]

You're very welcome! :D I hope you find it useful.

[@brenomello4819]

ran into a small issue trying this, if you have a script that locks the mouse cursor you won't be able to use the options or continue the dialogue so you might need to remove anything that restricts the cursor like: Cursor.lockState = CursorLockMode.Locked; Cursor.visible = false; other than that it still works just fine

[@SpeedTutor]

Good work around! Thanks for sharing.

[@CarlitoxBanana]

For those with this problem, you can unlock and show it visible and when your last dialog shows add and event that locked it agan :D

[@fuzzychest]

Thanks for the free asset and tut. I tried to use this during a jam but ya, when I copied the NPC to make another one it broke completely. Even when I re-did everything I couldnt get it to work again so went with a different solution. However, learned a lot from poking around your asset.

[@SpeedTutor]

No worries at all. Great work on learning new stuff, what did you use as an alternative?

[@fuzzychest]

@@SpeedTutor The problem seemed to be with the ConversationManager. When I copied the first conversation game object, the manager would always be null after that. I removed Conversation.Instance and added a manager ref to each conversation. That did it. This was for a jam so I just needed something working but I'll go through it again later. Just some hard coded work arounds.

[@nikolas276]

can yo make more video`s about this plugin, how about when you go away, and when you dont use mouse to continue the conversation?

[@gmangman123]

Have a nice day my friend.

[@SpeedTutor]

Thanks for checking this out, my friend! :D

[@lePocci1]

Tahnk you for such a nice tutorial

[@SpeedTutor]

You're very welcome, what are you creating?

[@mohamedmusthafa1057]

Thats cool dude ❤

[@SpeedTutor]

I hope it helped! :)

[@TorpedoTim]

Everything works fine when I have just one NPC and one conversation. But when I tried using two different conversations on 2 different NPCs in the same scene it wouldn’t work. Any suggestions?

[@satirical3351]

i had the same problem tried to fix it but i cant. Seems like you aren't allowed to reuse the same prefab

[@SpeedTutor]

As far as the reviews mentioned, you can't reuse the same prefab annoyingly.

[@TorpedoTim]

@@satirical3351 I fixed the problem by using only one canvas where all the different conversations are been displayed

[@sdgtag]

How do you make it to where you don't click the button, but simply click your mouse cursor because I want to lock and hide the cursor when playing the game.

[@okaarwansyah6626]

Thankyouuu!!

You're very welcome, thanks for checking this out! :D

i have a small issue. the start conversation script is missing. i cannot add it to my object, its just not there when i search for it

[@giantripo2994]

How can I remove the "Continue" button? To advance the conversation? I want it to just continue tapping click anywhere on the screen.

[@stevedelmas3242]

It is a very good video however i have difficulties with a dialogue that concerns two NPCs. When I add another NPC and I follow the steps to interact with it, I can no longer interact with both. Can you help me?

[@shazeerrra]

Nothing is showinh when i open dialogue editor on Window. It just blank 😢

hi i tried the code but my has the null reference errror. how do i fix it . it gives me this error NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object ObjectInteraction.OnTriggerEnter

[@efanarken3432]

Thank you for the tutorial, well made and easy to understand :) unfortunately I ran into a problem: When the dialogue starts I can't continue via mouse click, even though I ticked the "allow mouse interaction" box. Has anybody an idea, what the reason for that might be?

[@ThatBlenderDude_]

help, my cursor cannot click the buttons! the arent affected by it at all.

[@SpeedTutor]

You probably need to unlock and unhide, as something might be locking it.

[@ThatBlenderDude_]

@@SpeedTutor solved, the canvas i was using was part of a first person character controller from the asset store. i just deleted the premade canvas and rebuilt it manually and that solved it.

[@nikolas276]

Why i can`t click on options?

[@ThatBlenderDude_]

i'm having the same issue. i think i have solved half of the issue by unlocking my cursor but it still wont work

[@FierceAnimations]

Hello! how do I make the "F" input more responsive? I have to click it multiple times for it to work. is there anyway to fix this?

[@ThatBlenderDude_]

scrap what i just said im having the same issue

[@FierceAnimations]

@@ThatBlenderDude_ DUDE XD, my fix for that was chatGPT'ing the code responsible for it, then it worked fine as soon as I did so, It did some complicated stuff, something I haven't learned yet, but It was a way for me to know what was wrong or what needed opitmizations 🙂

[@CarlitoxBanana]

anyone know how to use the objectives aspect of the asset? that would be A GREAT help

[@Ochentaa]

idk... my conversation doesnt trigger itself. Did everything the same with this but on 2D project

[@Norsrensen]

Help whenever i write scripts the NPCConvo thing doesnt pop up and it gives me errors (sorry the the poor english btw)

[@SpeedTutor]

What is the error?

[@Norsrensen]

@@SpeedTutor whenever i reference the NPCconversation script in the script it gives me a error.

[@AlgernonSkeleton]

How to solve pls.MissingComponentException: There is no 'Renderer' attached to the "DialogueTrigger" game object, but a script is trying to access it. You probably need to add a Renderer to the game object "DialogueTrigger". Or your script needs to check if the component is attached before using it.

[@SpeedTutor]

Just add a new component and type in "Renderer" - For example, mesh renderer. I hope that helps :)

[@MrMaskYT]

You make such a beautiful tutorial. Is there a way for me to end the the dialogue for the character without using mouse?

[@SpeedTutor]

You could probably have it on a key press if you programmed that?

[@calalmuradov6162]

hi do you know how to make game like talking tom ? I need to understand how this game working listening and repeating after me

[@wutter11]

bro when did you create NPCConversation. It couldn't find a name like that. 6:05

[@GxoiTheDev]

Can you use it multiple times in 1 project or can you only use it one time?

[@SpeedTutor]

Multiple times I would imagine.

[@appletree5676]

Hey, thanks for making this video. This asset helped me a alot. I just had one issue, increasing the font size. Well, for the dailogue speech, it was easy to just change values in the prefab but I couldnt find any option/ way out to increase font size of text placed in the options. Could you help me with it if you have any idea

[@SpeedTutor]

Sadly I don't have any good advice on that for you but you could possibly message the developer about that? :)

[@samuel-hv4fb]

after importing, when i go window --> dialogueEditor, i have empty black panel. it doesn't show the root speech node, why ? thank you!

[@SpeedTutor]

It might be in a Unity version not supported by the asset? I'm not really sure about that one :(

[@ThatBlenderDude_]

you need to have the conversation empty we made selected

[@chinglr]

for me the buttons dont work

[@irfanmustaqim948]

Can it applies speech recognition ? Or can we turn the dialogue into voice dialogue ?

[@SpeedTutor]

I'm not sure about that one, unless it specifies in the description. :)

Hello. It seems to be working when I am running this on Unity Simulator, but when I am trying to run it on my phone, it is not working. Can you help me with it? Tested it with several android phones, still not working. I created a button as a trigger, also tried to run it with start method. All of them are working on Unity Simulator, but when I build it and run it on my phones, it doesn't work.

[@SpeedTutor]

That's really strange, sadly I don't have any experience with mobile devices as it's not my asset. Really sorry I cant be more specific.

unity? why would i make a game for that engine? i dont want to go broke and owe money for that piece of shit human being called John Riccitiello

[@SpeedTutor]

You won't owe them any money as they changed the runtime fees, but you're free to make your game in whichever engine you'd like :)

[@emanuel81111]

your videos are awesome, but unity trust and respect is completely gone, John Riccitiello is a horrible human being, he only cares for money not for the community , not for the clients, just money@@SpeedTutor

[@SpeedTutor]

I can totally understand your point a view - I think it's great we have some great options so you're not locked into any particular engine. What will you use?
