This is very similar to the system I made for my game back in 2020. I think adding a "profile picture" of the person speaking would be a nice touch. Cool stuff. I'm planning to return to work on my game after more than a year and a half apart. After my finals in february-march, I'll return and finish at least a respectable demo version of my game. Hopefully I'll still be able to understand my old spaghetti code. As for more than just a demo: For that, I'll have to learn pixel art and animation to a respectable level which I don't think I can do.
Great job! Such a big help. I've been trying to crack my dialogue system issue for while now, trying different tuts, but this video was perfect! Thanks! You have a new sub!
@@Antarsoft Excuse me, can I ask you a question? For some reason, the private bool "started" doesn't switch to false at the end of the dialogue and instead of ending the dialogue just starts from the beginning again, can you please give me advice or a clue for solving this issue?
It's strange but on another object, the script works. The difference between objects is that in one object, we have a box collider only as a trigger; in the other object(in which all works) we have two colliders, one like a trigger and the second like a regular collider.
I'm not fully aware of what you mean by respond but to put it in simple terms, let's say you want the npc to talk several dialogues, after all these dialogues are done you can invoke an Action where the player would subscribe to it or you can toggle a Boolean on that will allow the player to interact.
If there is an error that repeats the conversation without ending when moving to another scene, try changing the Update method of the "DialogueTrigger" script to the FixedUpdate method. The conversation ends correctly. For now, I solved it this way, but if there is another better way, please let me know.
Hello im new to unity, i do all the instructions correct but my dialogue only start with one element and doesnt show the 2nd one... Can anyone fix this issues?
A quick question When the dialogue finishes it starts from the beginning once again I did what you did and also tried to get your code from your github but still couldn't fix it Do you know how I can fix it?
I've copied this code from your source, marked ever checkbox and set every perimeter, yet when I get close to my npc, no indicator and when pressing E, nothing happens, no scrip or anything. Is this because of the untiy update or something? I've been searching endlessly for a dialog box to come up with interacting with a npc but all of them result with nothing happening when you interact. Anyone have any leads at all? Google and youtube results are all 1+ year old and even with copying exactly what is present in the video on a totally different project all by itself, I still get these same results.
@@nGmms Actually the issue was I had not dragged the indicator object into the script fields. I had ment to comment back but I got wrapped up in other bugs.
That was super helpful and exactly what i was looking for! Just a simple question: I created my dialogue system and a few different GameObjects with this script, and for some reason my dialogues repeats everytime. Do you know something about it? It happens when i change the scene
Hey, I wouldn't be able to suggest the proper answer, but from what you're saying you need to see when is the starting method of the dialogue is called, which will help you figure out the repeat. For the scene change it would be the same thing, something is happening in start or some script is triggering the dialogue on start
@@Antarsoft Ok... I'll try to figure it out what is happening. If i dont succeed I will try to contact you again in the comments! Ty to reply my question, and again, your tutorials are very helpful to understand unity and create a game
for some reason it isn't working :( i added the dialogue script and added the components for the window,indicator, and dialogue text on the npc, I added the dialogue_trigger and put in the dialogue I have "is trigger" on only the npc box collider, they are on the same layer, and the player is tagged as player is there something ive missed?
@@Antarsoft thank you so much for your reply! I've been having a lot of trouble with this I've checked the z position and rigid body, but am not sure about the rigidbody, since this is the only tutorial of yours that I'm following and my other settings/scripts might be uncompatible with it if its possible, could I screenshare on your discord?
I won't be able to do this much detailed assistance unfortunately. But this video is part of a series, and if you have issues with collision, and triggers please sell Unity's manuals and forums.
I followed the whole tutorial (its very good btw) but i ran into a problem. Everthing works but the textbox doesn't show the elements (dialogues) but just the sample text of the tmp. Does anyone knows why this is
when i do this, every instance of a dialog in the scene triggers at once, all the solutions i've found to this was setting things to not be static but nothing i currently have in the script is static. is there any way to fix this without completely redoing it?
fantastic video, I love your tutorials! Right now, I'm trying to find a way to randomize the dialogue you get from an NPC every time, so I need to be able to pick from a "List" of "Lists" of options. Do you know any way to do this cleanly?
Of course, I'd assume you have setup the list and the dialogues inside, you need to use the Random method from unity. Random.Range(x,y); where x is the minimum and y the maximum (maximum not included), you should put x as zero and y as the count of your list. Here's the link to more details of the random method docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Random.Range.html
Hey, What do you mean by respond to NPC exactly ? If you mean when your character passes near an NPC, you can simply add a 2d/3d collider to your NPC then make sure the NPC will have something unique like a specific tag "NPC" and use OnTriggerEnter or OnTriggerEnter2D to detect if you trigger with someone with tag "NPC" then put whatever logic you want inside.
I'm glad it'll help you out. Please do subscribe if you haven't already. Also I'd love to see your progress on your game in our discord server 😇 Cheers
@@Antarsoft I wanna ask abaut somethink. in my game (2d) there arw somethink like side characters that must follow the player I used vector 3 go forward and transform but it end up that they stuck in the air or keep teleporting into their first ever location. is there any way to keep them close to the character without losing any of the values? (some of them are slower than the other or can't jump) (if you interested the idea of the game is that random ai ropot land in wrong location in earth instead of space so it try to learn from anythink to survive or go faster caus it have a lot of skills but have no idea how they work)
Hey, That's a bit advanced feature and yea it requires some AI implementation. I haven't done it personally before, but I'd assume using rigidbody and apply movement towards player and then auto detect obstacles and jump. In 3D I used pathfinding
@@Antarsoft it acultly work so well (I used pravite game opject called target and make the target swixh to the last character that move and set this to unactive when I start platforming with one of them like if( input. get key down (s) ) (target = turtle ) else ( target = frog) and the 5 camera follow in the late update so it acultly have enught time to switch target and for the pathfinding I make their collider in active so they acultly can telepoet if you intested to knoe)
Thanks for the tutorials + explaination, it's too bad that this video getting less view. Anw thanks again Sir
Wonderful video. I like how you explain everything at great pace and even write all the notes!! thx

thanks u very much :3
How might you include an interaction where the character responds after the NPC is done chatting? I can't seem to get something like that working.
I'm not fully aware of what you mean by respond but to put it in simple terms, let's say you want the npc to talk several dialogues, after all these dialogues are done you can invoke an Action where the player would subscribe to it or you can toggle a Boolean on that will allow the player to interact.
If there is an error that repeats the conversation without ending when moving to another scene, try changing the Update method of the "DialogueTrigger" script to the FixedUpdate method. The conversation ends correctly.
For now, I solved it this way, but if there is another better way, please let me know.
It seems better to leave the Update of the "DialogueTrigger" script as is and change the Update of "Dialogue" to LateUpdate.
Hello im new to unity, i do all the instructions correct but my dialogue only start with one element and doesnt show the 2nd one... Can anyone fix this issues?
A quick question
When the dialogue finishes it starts from the beginning once again
I did what you did and also tried to get your code from your github but still couldn't fix it
Do you know how I can fix it?
Does the dialogue start by itself or do you click an interact button ?
@@Antarsoft i have an interact button but when i use the button in the last sentence rather than closing it goes back to first sentence
@@monkeman7601 Having this same problem right now. Was fine at first but after I reopened my project it started acting like this
I have this problem too, but if resave the code it works correctly again , hmm
Hello friend! Have you solved it?
is possible use this in my 3d academic game ?

Are you sure you checked the "Is Trigger" on the "Box Collider 2D" on the NPC?

Sorry for late reply, but I'm glad it got resolved
i dont have Text_Mesh_Pro
so i used 3D text but its not working
how can i get TMP?
i searched .... but i found 10 TMP
what did you use?
please help

What exactly do you mean by not working?
And you can always get the tmp via the package manager.

for some reason it isn't working :(
i added the dialogue script and added the components for the window,indicator, and dialogue text
on the npc, I added the dialogue_trigger and put in the dialogue
I have "is trigger" on only the npc box collider, they are on the same layer, and the player is tagged as player
is there something ive missed?
Would need more context, but one if them should have a rigidbody and there should be in the same z axis position.
Do a debug statement for help
@@Antarsoft thank you so much for your reply! I've been having a lot of trouble with this

nvm i fixed a slight issue of index always being greater
Would be bettter if you could debug the issue more in depth then provide additional details.

nvm, it'd seem i messed up the collision check stuff majorly so it always triggers the script if you press z within the scene
