Hi,
If you bear with me below, we'll build up to the answer:
Normally you'd tick the Dialogue Manager's Display Settings > Input Settings > Include Invalid Responses and set the [em#] Tag For Invalid Responses dropdown. This will make response menus include all dialogue entries whose Conditions are false, styling them according to the style set for the em# emphasis setting. You can specify emphasis settings in the Dialogue Editor's Database section > Database Properties > Emphasis Settings. This is covered in
How To: Do Skill Checks in Conversations.
However, you only want to show some invalid entries (i.e., entries whose Conditions are false), not all invalid entries.
This post, which is also linked in the how-to article above, explains how to only show certain invalid dialogue entries but not others.
But even this doesn't quite get you where you want to be. You'll also want to completely hide the response option when the player has sufficient reputation. Here's one idea to accomplish that:
1. Remove entry (A) entirely.
2. On entry (B), add a custom text field named "RequirementText" and set it to "(Requires 20 rep)".
3. Add a script with an OnConversationResponseMenu(Response[]) method to the Dialogue Manager. Something like:
Code: Select all
using UnityEngine;
using PixelCrushers.DialogueSystem;
public class HandleRequirementText : MonoBehaviour
{
void OnConversationResponseMenu(Response[] responses)
{
foreach (Response response in responses)
{
if (!response.enabled) // response's Conditions are false
{
var requirementText = Field.LookupValue(response.destinationEntry.fields, "RequirementText");
response.formattedText.text = $"{requirementText} {response.formattedText.text}";
}
}
}
}
When (B)'s Conditions are true (i.e., rep > 20), the response button will appear normally.
When (B)'s Conditions are false, the response button will appear but be non-interactable, and the entry's RequirementText field will be prepended to the button text.
