Well, this certainly is easy when we're talking about only the first set of options, but the tricky part is the branching of options which we didn't really see. Was expecting to see some kind of model for reusable options where it knows which options were chosen and which to show for the current dialogue box and I don't mean make a full game or a full tutorial series but just the first 2-3 sets of dialogue and options just to set an example which could be expanded upon by the viewer. I hope for a part 2 of this mini tutorial(or a stream revisiting this idea), tho it's probably never going to happen.

i am searching for the same thing. For the model you are talking about; I think we just might have to write a large script which modifies the text mesh component in the button category and setting it in the text you desire. However; this can be a very grueling process of making the game; guess we got no other CHOICE. Anyway; if you have succeeded in finding a method to do this easier; please tell me. I mean; it has been 2 years.

Change the lines or add in void Update(). It seems you have to add other variables for each new dialogue since each choice taken can't be used more than once (the following lines are experimental): void Update() { if (ChoiceMade >= 1) { Choice01.SetActive(false); //disables options when choice taken Choice02.SetActive(false); Choice03.SetActive(false); } if (ChoiceMade == 1) { Choice01.SetActive(false); Choice02.SetActive(true); Choice03.SetActive(false); } if (ChoiceMade == 2) { Choice01.SetActive(true); //when true, options appears Choice02.SetActive(false); //if false, options disappears Choice03.SetActive(false); } if (ChoiceMade == 3) { Choice01.SetActive(false); Choice02.SetActive(true); Choice03.SetActive(false); }

However, I'm not really the creator."; ChoiceMade = 5; } public void Path1DialogueChoiceOption3() { TextBox.GetComponent().text = "Come on say something"; ChoiceMade = 6; } public void Path0DialogueChoiceOption2() // Path 2 starts { TextBox.GetComponent().text= "I believe its obvious to you. After all, you were purposefully created to say it."; ChoiceMade = 2; } public void Path0DialogueChoiceOption3() // Path 3 starts { TextBox.GetComponent().text = "Nothing to say? You must be confused aren't you."; ChoiceMade = 3; } // Update is called once per frame void Update() { if (ChoiceMade == 0) { Path0DialogueOptionChoice1.SetActive(true); Path0DialogueOptionChoice2.SetActive(true); //activation and deactivation of options when pressed Path0DialogueOptionChoice3.SetActive(true); Path1DialogueOptionChoice1.SetActive(false); Path1DialogueOptionChoice2.SetActive(false); Path1DialogueOptionChoice3.SetActive(false); } if (ChoiceMade == 1) { Path1DialogueOptionChoice1.SetActive(true); Path1DialogueOptionChoice2.SetActive(true); Path1DialogueOptionChoice3.SetActive(true); Path0DialogueOptionChoice1.SetActive(false); Path0DialogueOptionChoice2.SetActive(false); Path0DialogueOptionChoice3.SetActive(false); } } }

hello please help i have problem i'm getting error NullReferenceException : Object reference not set to an instance of an object on every option i clicked

Hi sir. Your project shown that every button output will be a line of text. But can I change the output for button 1 into ARcamera1, button 2 into ARcamera2, button 3 into ARcamera3? So that I can scan the image target for each option. I hope you will reply me since I have an assignment related to AR application. Your reply will help me a lot. Thanks in advance :)

That's a cool Tutorial,very interesting

You should do more to unityScript/ js tutorials

if we have a game with multiple questions, then can we still use the same script but change the options and actual answers script ?

I have error message in console. it said "NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to instance of an object. GameController.ChoiceOption1()..." can you help me?

Yes, you can set them to be inactive by adding a public void start at the beggining and then set the choices you want to the .setActive method false. Here's what I did in my dialogue system: public void Start() // this makes the 4,5,6 conversation options to only appear after you answer the first question with the 1,2,3 options { Choice04.SetActive(false); Choice05.SetActive(false); Choice06.SetActive(false); } Hope this helps you out :)

nice Video but can I ask how to put a timer so that after making a choice the text appears later in about the seconds?

You just need to create more choicesOptions and then add +1 to the ChoiceMade = *your choice number*, and to finish it off you need to go to the void update and add the choices you created before to that array. Hope this helps you guys out :)

You can find the highlight color in unity when you select the parent object (if you did exactly like the video it should be called "option1") and if you look to the right side in the inspector tab you have a script added to that object that's called "Button" (that should be already applyed because you created a button at the start of this) and inside that script you can find Highlighted Color. Hope this helps :D

Is it 2D or 3D?

A decent tutorial for that simple case you presented in the video. The problem with this video however is, it leaves the really complicated and confusing questions that many people have about dialogue systems completly untouched: 1. What if the dialogue is supposed to continue after making a choice? Like a 2nd Textbox, that presents new choices? Or a 2nd Textbox WITHOUT choices, just to read for the Player, but then a third one, that presents choices again. 2. What if the dialogue should be able to loop back depending on choices? Like having a conversation and multiple choices about what you can ask an NPC. After giving an answer to the choice you made, the dialogue loops back to the initial choice with a textbox like "Is there anything else you would like to know?" and then you get your initial choices again and pick a new one and so on. Basicly the problem is, that this video only touches the simplest case of choices. To be able to build really complicated, branching dialogues, you need some sort of "building box" script for that.

@@JimmyVegasUnity You sure are quick at judging people. I wouldn't call people, who just started working on their dialogue system "lazy" for trying to get some first insights into the topic, by looking up tutorials on the internet. When you have 0 knowledge about a specific topic, its only logical to browse for some information, for example: How did other people solve this problem? This way you can get some first ideas going on. I'm sry if I offended you, I didnt mean to, but judging by most of the other comments here, I'd say I'm not the only person thinking, that this tutorial didn't help too much, since its not even good to expand onto.

@@user-yd6cs8rp7y We realized we were gonna do a lot more things not explicitly related to dialogue and decided to have choices as part of an "Event"-System that groups a ton of related functions for cutscenes or dialogue-based interactions. You create a new Event, a script that can hold a row of pieces like "Event-block 1", then 2 and so on and blocks would be of different types like being 1 dialogue box and then 1 playing a specific sound after that box has been read and then 1 that plays a specific animation or a camera movement etc. All of these would be 1 event-block and the Event-Scripts basicly goes through it blocks, allowing you to craft fleshed out sequences of almost anything for dialogues or pseudo-cutscenes. Being offered a choice would also be a block in that system. Sadly this is just a theory we have thought up but shelved because we went on to work on other project parts. o_o
