Turning off conversation UI for internal dialogue UI

Post by mudukke »

Is there a way to switch between UI for example the the conversation UI which I am using when interacting with NPCS but for internal dialogue, I would like to switch it off when they are talking to themselves, especially in the cutscenes using timeline

Hi,

Yes. You can assign a different dialogue UI (e.g., with a different appearance or even with no visual elements) to the Dialogue System Trigger's Actions > Start Conversation > Override Dialogue UI, or add an Override Dialogue UI component to one of the participants (e.g., internal narrator actor), or use the SetDialoguePanel(false,immediate) sequencer command to hide the default dialogue UI if you haven't overridden it.
