Hi,

The first one: Is there a way that the player character could execute a simple bark system but with multiple conversation nodes inside one Dialogue->Conversation?
Are you asking about multiple barks, one after the other? If so, this is a conversation. If you want the player always to show conversation lines as a bark, add a
Dialogue Actor component. Change Dialogue UI Settings > Subtitle Panel Number to Bark, and assign a bark UI to Bark UI Settings.
If you only want the player to bark a specific conversation, put that conversation's Dialogue System Trigger on a separate GameObject. Add two more components: Override Dialogue UI and Bark Dialogue UI. Assign the Bark Dialogue UI component to the Override Dialogue UI.

For example, in a conversation node where the NPC/Character is telling something happy/sad/etc, the animation state would change to idle to happy/sad/etc.
Yes, use the
Sequence field. (See
Cutscene Sequences.) For example:
- Dialogue Text: "Yay! I'm so happy!"
- Sequence:
The "{{default}}" keyword includes the Dialogue Manager's Default Sequence.
Another example:
- Dialogue Text: "Watch me dance!"
- Sequence:
Code: Select all
AnimatorPlayWait(Dance)->Message(Done);
AnimatorPlay(Idle)@Message(Done)
This example doesn't need the Dialogue Manager's Default Sequence. It just plays the Dance animation until it's done, then returns to Idle.

The typical comic dialogue image where the Character is talking and the other where the Character is Thinking (the one that is a cloud). Is there a way I could swap them depending on the conversation node inside one Dialogue->Conversation?
There are a couple ways you could do this. With scripting, you could swap the image in an
OnConversationLineO() method on the player.
Without scripting, in your dialogue database you could create a second player actor named "PlayerThinking". Assign all thinking lines to the PlayerThinking actor.
Then add an empty child GameObject to the player. Name it PlayerThinking. Add a Dialogue Actor component, and assign your thinking cloud bark UI to it.
